I went on Francesco's bike tour with my mother and sister the first day we arrived in Rome.
It was absolutely fantastic and gave us a real insight into the history of the city as well as an overview of the main attractions the city has to offer. This was highly valuable to us as we then had an idea of the overall layout and logistics of the city and an understanding of its history, which helped us when we visited various parts of the city in the following days. I would recommend doing this bike tour on the first day of your trip for maximum benefit. Francesco was very funny and charismatic also. Thank you!

What a great experience!
After seeing hundreds of not thousands of scooters zipping through Rome streets, I got to experience this myself on a classic Vespa.
We saw many fantastic points of interest and were informed (and entertained) by Francesco’s commentary along the route.
He was attentive to all in the group as we traversed the streets and cobblestone alleys making sure we were always sticking with him and giving us plenty of heads up for turns ahead via his bike signals and audio cues as we drove.
My friend and I had an absolute blast! What a great way to finish our week in Rome.
Grazie, Francesco!

So happy I booked this tour for us. It was a chilly November morning and I was concerned about staying warm. I did bring a set of winter bike gloves in anticipation of the weather and I am glad I did. We started out about 8:30am, gassed up, and took off. We saw all the sites in Rome and even across the river to a vista that overlooks Rome. This was by far one of the best things we did in Rome. It also gave a a great perspective for the following days we were there. I would absolutely book this tour again. I was also concerned with safety being on a moped but this was no issue at all. Way safer in Rome than being on one in Boston. There were two of us on the Vespa too and this was fine. Good size Vespa too, plenty of power for two people.

We had a perfect experience with Francesco, our 3 hour ride could not have been better. It's really fun to zip around on the vespa, and Francesco can always give in depth explanations about any site. He can also tailor the tour to your needs. We had a great day and we will not forget the really loud noise of the cannonball at midday that he took us to see:)

This simply was the best tour we did whilst visiting Rome! It was exciting, fun and thrilling all at the same time whilst exploring Rome in all its finest glory. No other tour is like this and it’s all down to Francesco and his bubbly, quirky personality. Even though his had done this tour hundreds of times, he was interesting, full of facts and showed us some incredible things. I can’t recommend this tour enough. You have to do it if you visit Rome! Thank you so much Francesco for making our trip perfect!

Had a great trip. My husband was able to drive while I rode with him. He is very comfortable driving but we didn’t want to worry about navigating around town on our own and this was the perfect solution. We were able to see many sights that we did not know about and take pictures. Highly recommend.

Riding a bicycle through the streets of Rome is a great way to see it. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to orient themselves and see all the major sites in a short period of time. Paul was our guide and he did a great job with the factual information about the sites and navigating us safety down the streets. The tour was thoughtfully organized and geared toward what we wanted to see. You will need to pay for the tour in cash, no credit. Now I know when I hear the ring, ring, step over and let the bicycle pass.

What a wonderful experience, riding through the streets of Rome, past the amazing sights and sounds of the city.
Ludo and his team made this one of the highlights of our trip, making sure we were comfortable and safe (as first time vespa riders) and ensuring we had enough time at each pit stop to refuel with water and to take as many photos as we wanted. Ludo was excellent, his knowledge of the city and surrounding areas second to none and he turned the experience into a history lesson, alongside the hair-raising thrill of shooting past the Colloseum at 45mph! He took us to those places we would never have seen on a walking or bus tour and these were clearly special to him, which made them even more magical. The pyramid of Caius Cestius, the baths of Caracalla and the majestic orange garden of Parco Savello with it's fabulous views from Aventine Hill. This, along with wonderful churches both inside and outside of the city made the 3 hour trip was a fabulous experience and one that I would definitely recommend. Look out for all the 'optical illusions' around the city, particularly the view of St. Peters from Aventine, it will blow your mind. Thanks again to Ludo and his team for making our vespa ride so special.

We got to the area to pick the motorbikes, were told that he wouldn’t rent to us. He was looking at us even before speaking to us, asked if we had experience with vespas but we had none but we all drive, learning how to ride a vespa is not rocket science! Horrible company and horrible guy! Even after refusing us he took a 600 euro deposit on our card! Glad we didn’t use him, ended up using lime scooters instead. Much, much better!

Dear Vincent Jansen and Petra Jansen, I'm Francesco the owner of Rome by Vespa. Let's leave rocket science to the engineers. You booked 2 Vespas for the 3rd August and you received our booking confirmation mail with the following rentl requirement: Driver must have: - Previous scooter driving experience: don't take for granted that you can do driving practice with Vespa in Rome, because we don't rent scooters to beginners I asked you if you had experience with scooter and the answer was no. You were a family of 4 people, so you had 2 passengers (your sons) and you wanted to put at risk your and their safety. I didn't rent you my vespas because I think that it is reckless to risk safety of your sons and other people. Remember that lies have short legs, I cancelled your 600 € deposit in front of you and I also refunded your 5 € deposit, that you paid to book your vespas with us. You rented in the end 2 push scooters from Lime and I am very happy that you solved your problems but I can't understand how you can compare 2 electric push scooters with 2 Vespas 125 cc. Maybe you are glad to didn't use our Vespas but surely I am glader to have refused your rental, because it is not a rocket science to understand that you were an unresponsable person and father.
