My wife booked this experience for us and what a an experience. We booked the private tour and we conveniently picked up from a place of our choosing at 6pm and Luca (our tour guide and driver) gave us a very happy and warm welcome while asking us where we had been already during our stay and if where we'd like to go. We were happy to return to some places that we'd seen already and, as he was the expert we were very happy to let him decide where to take us. Luca, was extremely knowledgeable of all the names, history and stories behind all the building we passed and he was extremely funny, it felt like we were riding with a friend! We stopped at lots of locations and without even needing to ask he would kindly offer to take photos during the brief stops at each location. He perfectly time a descent down a windy road during a sunset and the views were absolutely stunning. As day turned to night, we went past the Vatican city and Basilica, high in the hills overlooking all of Rome, where we had a bottle of prosecco on ice. We then carried on with the last bit of our tour and Luca said he would try and see if the Aventine keyhole to save us a trip later and when we got there there was no one else and we had the place to ourselves! Finally, as we told him we wanted to finish in Trastevere for dinner, (nothing booked) he made a call to a friend that owned an excellent restaurant, and drove us right to the door and got us a table last minute.

I would definitely recommend this company and this tour for anyone as we learned so much, and had so much fun, we didn't want the evening to end!

Thank you so much Luca!

I booked Vespa sidecar as a surprise for my husband during our wedding anniversary trip to Rome! Having been to Rome a couple of times before it was something different to do in Rome & an amazing way to wizz around the City - we clocked 26k during the morning with numerous stops in all the top sights! Luca was our guide & Ivan the other driver. Luca has a wealth of knowledge, was very friendly, entertaining & a great photographer. An absolutely superb way to see the Eternal City! We’re still on a high! Was SO much fun & great value too. They have thought of everything including Covid sanitation! There was only one other couple when we did the tour & we were able to exchange some photos of each other at the end - so some amazing memories! Thoroughly recommend it- a MUST do!!! Thank you Luca & Ivan our guides

Exceptional experience!! We had initially hoped to book a group tour but couldn’t find a time during our visit to Rome as the slots were sold out. I contacted the Vespa Sidecar team and they recommended a private tour as an alternative. Needless to say- my husband and I had a fantastic time with Luca and we didn’t want the experience to end. Luca was kind, funny, attentive and really made my husband and I feel like VIPs throughout. Luca’s knowledge is outstanding and he went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. I am so happy we decided to book this experience as it has been the highlight of our trip and getting to learn and see so many sights which we may have struggled to do otherwise. Luca’s English was great and he explained and answered all the questions we had about Rome and the history as well as stopping off when he saw a good photo opportunity for us without us requesting. Luca even asked us what we had already done to give us a tailored experience as part of our private tour.

If you are considering doing this, do not hesitate to book this- the whole experience was brilliant down to the finishing touches such providing us with a bottle of Prosecco in an ice bucket with flutes to enjoy whilst looking at a vantage point looking over Rome and giving me a blanket and hot water bottle as the evening temperature dropped. We booked several tours in Rome and this was definitely the highlight and worth every penny.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt that the whole experience was so fantastic and personalised to us and want to thank Vespa Sidecar/Luca for the amazing experience from start to finish.

One of the highlights of our holiday in Rome. It was incredibly good fun whizzing round the city in these scooters that are so cute you turn heads on every street, some tourists squealing with delight. Sidecar tours are incredibly well organised. The vehicles are spotless and well maintained, helmets come with hygiene caps if you want them and the headsets work really with clear running commentary from the your leader. Special credit has to go to Matteo, our tour leader who was just superb! He led the group driving whilst providing an engaging commentary for no less than 3hours on the history, culture and politics of the sites. I thought the tour was worth every Euro - just make sure you get Matteo.

When in Rome .... You must see the sights by Vespa Sidecar. Even the locals turn their heads as you go by! Luca, the owner, is a wonderful host and helped us join the others as we overslept that day. What a gracious guy! You see (and smell) all the famous sights and some not so famous but extremely interesting old Rome sights too, that he takes you to; up close and personal and without having to walk miles. It's the perfect way to see this beautiful city and experience the vibrant Roman people.

I so admired the way Luca saved our day for us (because I got our tour start time wrong), that when I saw the "book and bank" offer on the Vespa Sidecar website, I immediately signed up. It has helped him through this global Covid experience. It is a great idea; If you don't use the booking you get a refund back with a healthy interest rate or you can use it the next time you go to Rome! It's safe and easy. Anything to help everyone get back on their feet from Covid 19

We are going back as soon as we can to experience Rome this way again and also try the same tour in Florence as I understand this will be available from the company there too.
This is honestly the best and most fun way to see a city. Highly recommended.
Thanks Luca.

My daughter and I loved this tour! Luca was a great host and did a wonderful job keeping my teenage daughter engaged. He is very funny and polite, and made us (two females traveling alone) feel very comfortable at all times (no creepy vibes whatsoever 😀). He took lots of great photos of the two of us, which I love, because while I often take photos of my daughter, she rarely takes them of me. He gave just enough and not too much information (I like to hear the interesting stuff but have a fairly short attention span). Getting info through the headsets while traveling was a nice way to use the tour time wisely, as well. When we did have questions, he answered them completely and even offered to help with recommendations after our tour was over. Overall, I give this tour, and Luca as a guide, my highest recommendation.

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing tour with Luca! It was the three of us, and he took us to all of the key parts of Rome, and explained the significance of each in a compelling way. He was very knowledgeable, kind and also took awesome photos! He stopped along the way and made sure to help capture memories of us in Rome. He took us to an incredible spot for gelato and then at the end of the tour, he even tailored the trip to drop us off at the restaurant where we were going to eat after. 5 star service!

What can we say but what an amazing joyous ride around Rome. Our guide was brilliant with so much knowledge of his City, and our drivers were lovely, all of them so courteous and helpful. Would highly recommend the Vespa tours. Actually just wanted to do it again and again.

Myself and my 4 friends did this tour last Friday in Rome , and it was 3.5 hours of fun , laughter, excitement and interesting historical stories about Rome.
The drivers were excellent , we all felt very safe throughout our tour. We meandered down side streets as well as main roads. We also visited the area called Trastevera , which at night comes alive with pedestrianised streets of restaurants, bar with happy hours , and shops open till 12 midnight.

Its a great way to see the city, and involves stopping a couple of times over the tour to further investigate the sites. The tour guide had a natural passion for Rome , which was very evident in how he delivered the tour and made it so interesting.
We all loved this trip and it was one of our highlights. Its a must for anyone who wants a more interesting and exciting way to see the city.
The staff in office were excellent too with my emails very quickly answered and they helped us when we could not find the meeting spot.
We got beautiful ice cream towards the end of the tour. With such professional and friendly staff and all of the above what's not to love about Vespa side car tours Rome. .

Our Vespa sidecar tour was a highlight of our Rome trip!

We did a night tour of the city (8 to 11pm) , and got to see all the well known monuments up close with lesser crowds, as well as a few places we otherwise wouldn’t have visited.

With the private tour, we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel doorstep. Luca and Giovanni were very professional, and all their equipment felt sanitary. Luca was a knowledgeable and funny guide, and both were thoughtful. Our whole family felt safe throughout the tour. Bonus was the great photos they took at hidden spots!

They accommodated a change from gelatos to pizza easily-the pizza was tasty too. When it got chillier they provided us with hot water bottles and blankets to keep warm.

We enjoyed every second and would do the tour again!
