This is a must do and the most fun while we were here! Our guide, Spin, (Simone) was so knowledgeable and personable. This is not just a fun ride around the Roman city but he gives historical background all along the way. He is also funny and weaves in his own personal humor along the tour. Not to mention that everyone around you is waving and taking your picture bc the Vespa sidecars are so much fun to see! He also suggests great eateries and other stops for your remaining stay in Rome - thank you Spin!

Our sidecar Vespa tour with Spin was amazing!! Spin knew all the secret views of Rome & his storytelling in impeccable English was fascinating! He is very knowledgeable of Roman art and history and his passion for his city was captivating and inspiring. We could not have asked for a better guide and overview on our first evening in the city. We loved every minute! Thank you Spin and Federico for an experience we will never forget. Arrivederci!
