Sidecar with Brando —superb!!
Heather L,,Nov 29, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I can’t imagine any better way to see Rome than from inside a Vespa sidecar. This experience is one of the top things I’ve done across seven continents of world travel because it’s just such a perfect match between the place and the very best way to see it. You really feel the spirit of the place. You also feel like a minor celebrity, with so many people smiling and waving at you. My guide Brando was a true expert in history and showed me so many hidden aspects of the city that I wouldn’t have otherwise found. Viewpoints, stories and special moments abound. I loved every minute. Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

5.00We did a vespa sidecar tour with Alice and Simeon, and it was amazing. It was so fun riding the streets of Rome. They were great with our kiddos and helped them create a core memory. She gave us history as we went along and overall a great convenient way to explore this amazing city. Truly an experience.

5.00It was such a great and unique experience! Exploring Rome on a Vespa and seeing it at sunset was just fantastic! Alice was my guide, and she shared many interesting historical facts about Rome. She also brought me to a place with delicious ice cream and recommended where to enjoy authentic food and the best coffee. I loved it! Huge thanks to Alice and LivTours!
Wife and I saw all of Rome in 3.5 hours with all the history told to us while driving a Vespa. :)

5.00Spin was fantastic! Took us to literally every spot in Rome and provided amazing back stories of the history. We were lucky enough to be only him and my wife and I so he took us through all the small alleys and neighborhoods. Highly recommend this tour. Need a little experience riding a bike though as it’s lots of traffic and cobblestone streets. Try and get Spin as your guide. He will make it memorable.
Best Vespa tour of Rome!

5.00Ricardo was a wonderful guide. He’s a Roman native and a foodie. He was super friendly and informative. We toured around in August in the morning so we were lucky to have minimal traffic. We had two Vespas with my 10 and 13 year old. I definitely recommend this tour since it’s the best way to get around.
