- renebezu0 contributionsBest experience in RomeBest best best experience!!! Our driver, Marco, was great!!! Excellent commentary!! A “ must do” when in Rome !! Thanks to the team!Written October 4, 2024
- cherylannsinclair0 contributionsAwesome. SO much FUNThe event was awesome, Luka was amazing with his knowledge of history, side quirks of sense of humour and love of the city of Rome. It was fun driving along with him in all the tiny cobble stone streets, the little side stops for selfies and some laughs. The gelato was a nice treat with many selections and savoury tastes to enjoy. Entering the Pantheon was great instead of standing in line. I love that. I recommend this event, it's a great way to see all the highlights of the city without all the walking and return to the ones you enjoyed the most.Written October 4, 2024
- D4070TDjanej0 contributionsBest thing you’ll do in RomeBest thing we did in Rome! As we’d all been to Rome before and seen the sights with guided tours, we just wanted a “refresher” and this was great fun and also a really good way to get your bearings. The guides were fantastic: knowledgable but funny and laid back too. Whizzing through the streets of Rome in a sidecar will, I think, stay with us all forever. I cannot recommend highly enough. Grazie mille!Written October 2, 2024
- erin h0 contributionsPerfect start to visiting Rome!We had the best experience you could have the drivers were safe drivers, our beautiful guide was incredible and so knowledgable about all things Rome. Perfect eve and way to start a trip in Rome!!Written October 1, 2024
- GabrielleC6270 contributionsBest way to see and experience Rome!Wow - what a way to see and experience Rome! My two boys (age 10 and 12) and I joined Barbara’s group - she was friendly and entertaining and provided a very informative commentary to all the sights and sounds of Rome. We loved riding on the Vespa and exploring both familiar and new places - we got a real sense of the history and scale of Rome. We took some fantastic photos and ended the tour with a delicious gelato. Definitely recommend for families and anyone wanting a novel way to tour Rome.Written October 1, 2024
- melf7330 contributionsAwesome time on the VespaWhat a fantastic tour on the Vespa! Monica was a great guide, telling us all about the History of Rome through our headphones while we were cruising the streets in these very comfortable sidecars. Lots of stops at landmarks for photos And a delicious food and drink stop midway. My driver David was a great driver and I never once felt un safe, very helpful with making sure I was always comfortable. Highly recommend.Written September 30, 2024

The best way to tour around Rome.Lucca and his team of bikers took us on an unforgettable ride through the cobblestone back streets of Rome in their beautiful Vespa scooters and sidecars.

- Jedzz0 contributionsBuzzing about in Rome on a vespaSo I went pillion, and my wife went to the sidecar. The vespa seat has a custom cushion backing, so it's very comfortable. Lots of stops to take a stretch and one which included the best ever gelato. I even slipped in a beer at the scenic hill stop from a cart. There is lots of interesting commentary with the supplied comms. Everyone enjoyed zipping about town, including small alleyways exploring off the beaten track. Great way to spend the afternoon. Even all the folk we passed smiled at our vespa convoy.Written September 27, 2024

If I could give more than 5 stars then this tour would deserve a higher rating. Although we tried to book in advance there was no availability for a regular tour so we decided to book a private tour. The staff were amazing, on time, well organised, informative, professional and charming . Little touches such as a blanket and a hot water bottle were available for the sidecar rider. We were given an ear piece with a radio so we could hear the amazing commentary of Sergio , our guide, whilst we drove through the streets of Rome. Sergio was charming with an exceptional knowledge of the history and buildings of Rome. We had a wonderful tour of the Pantheon, a lovely breakfast of cappuccino and a croissant ( the pistachio filling was excellent) and visited the Trevi Fountain where Sergio gave us each a coin to throw into the water. We passed by many of the landmarks in the City learning from Sergio as we went along. The drivers were so thoughtful, we were unable to visit St Peter’s Square as the road was closed ( Palm Sunday) so as a surprise they took us up to Gianicolo Hill to witness the cannon being fired at midday. One of the drivers even parked a car for a nun who was having difficulty reversing into a garage!
This really is a five star experience, it was the highlight of our trip and as such I would highly recommend experiencing the sites of Rome in a Vespa Sidecar.

By far one of the most fun and unique experiences touring this beautiful city was with Luca in the sidecar! We hit all of the best Roman sites and it was an absolute pleasure spending the day with Luca, a friendly Roman native. This is great (and inexpensive) way to see the city, especially if you don't have a lot of time and want to see as much as possible. Highly recommended and will be booking again.

I visited Rome several times before but Lucca, from Vespa with Sidecar provided us with the most memorable experience of our family life. He showed and make us see Rome trough the eyes of a local, told us incredible and funny anecdotes engaging not only us, but our 9 and 14 year old kids with his tales of the city for 5 hours. Throughout the journey he weaved the stories of Rome history with all the sites we were visiting. The safety protocols were all met, disinfections of the vehicles, helmets, even portable disinfectant sprays on the back of the bikes. Although Rome was just upgraded to Yellow COVID zone and we had to wear masks and keep our distance he provided such an engaging tour that he made us forget for 5 hours we were still in the middle of the pandemic. The cappuccino and cornetto were scrumptious and delicious and the gallery were we drank it was a piece of art in itself. We finished the tour in the Colosseum and he personally called a family restaurant to book us a late lunch that was memorable as well. Thank you Lucca for an amazing experience our family will always remember!

The Vespa sidecar tour is a very relaxing way of discovering Rome. The tour covers a lot of ground but you almost wouldn’t notice because you’re cruising along on such a calm pace. The very funny guide, Luca, has lots of interesting stories to tell and he knows how to take a picture or two. His live commentary on the parking techniques of the locals is a great addition to the tour. The Vespas are a sight to be seen themselves and the guys are very sweet with small children too.

Luca was amazing! I booked a 2-hour tour of Rome as a surprise for my friend's birthday - and Luca created an exceptional itinerary for us. He planned a beautiful tour of Rome, where he showed us many of the historic and panoramic sites of the Eternal City. Not to mention, Luca is an excellent photographer!! So he captured many great moments and memories on camera!! This was definitely one of our best memories of Rome - and we're so thankful that we were able to enjoy all sites that Rome has to offer in this unique, and exhilarating way. Thank you Luca! The experience was 10/10 and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Rome!

My friend and I just returned home from our sidecar tour with Luca and his team and still have not stopped smiling! We had an amazing morning on our tour of the city, filled with laughter and high quality photos (with the help of our very experienced, professional, humorous guide). Luca told jokes through his headset to our receivers as we jetted all around the neighborhoods of Rome for a 3.5 hour tour, ending with a delicious lunch recommendation. We cannot thank you enough!!! Grazie!

The Vespa Sidecar tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome! Luca was an amazingly knowledgeable and personable guide and he tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see. We did the tour on the afternoon of our second day so he focused on the things we hadn’t yet seen. It was a perfect introduction for our kids (ages 13,12,9) to Rome and all its wonders. Luca was incredibly flexible working around an unexpected Mass at the Pantheon, he brought us back later to make sure we could go inside. We were like rock stars as all of the Italians loved the Vespa sidecars and they took our pictures constantly - especially when they lined up the Vespas in the colors of the Italian flag at stop lights. It made for an unforgettable afternoon in Rome that was well worth the investment. Many thanks to Luca and his team!

A fabulous way to see Rome and learn about the city. Luca was full of energy and information and always prompt in his replies to my emails before our trip. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated his thoughtfulness and flexibility in allowing me to book a tour without paying for 2 tickets. (With covid, you can’t share a Vespa with a stranger.) I recommend this tour as a fun way to see the sights and save your feet from some walking as my feet needed a break. With the heat of July, cruising around while feeling a breeze was much appreciated. Take the tour; Luca and the Vespa will make you smile all day.

What an experience! This was honestly the best and only way to experience Rome and would recommend to anyone visiting. Luca, our guide, couldn’t have made our trip any better. The tour was arranged for Friday but given the bad weather forecast, he had contacted me to say the weather will be much clearer and brighter on Saturday and was able to reschedule for Saturday. He had also messaged to ask what sights we had already visited and that he was going to take me to other places which we had not already seen, some of which we didn’t have time to view during our time in Rome but Luca made them happen!!!

This was so much fun and Lucca is a really informative guide. One of the best tours I have ever done and certainly the best way to see Rome. He has a great sense of humour and the Vespa gets you into the little side streets and alleys where cars cant easily get to. The tour is extensive and so much fun. Even in winter we had hot water bottles and a blanket to make the trip more enjoyable. Bravo Lucca! We were very privileged to have found this tour. Great value and fabulous fun!

Hi,
Will the Vespa Sidecar Tour in Rome with Cappuccino or Highlights of Rome Vespa Sidecar Tour in the Afternoon with Gourmet Gelato stop available in August 2023?
Written July 18, 2023
Yes, there's quiet a few stops where you can go to the toilet (breakfast and the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain etc).
With there not being a lot of public toilet facilities around go into a café, buy a drink and ask to use their toilets. It's the quickest and easiest way to find toilets in Rome :)
Just let the guides know and they will happily help you out.

Can two people plus driver be on one Vespa with sidecar?
Written June 7, 2022
Yes, one person can sit behind the driver the other in the side car. They allow the two people to switch places so each person gets a chance to ride on the cycle or sidecar. It is completely safe and loads of fun. I highly recommend! The drivers and tour guide are great!

If I book for two people, do we both get to ride on different vespas in the sidecar or will we be on the same vespa one in the sidecar and one on the back of the motorcycle?
Written January 25, 2022
Usually, couples share the same vespa, but with the amount of stops made, couples will switch (riding in the sidecar & riding on the vespa with a driver) so you both have ample opportunities to be in the sidecar.
