5.00We had such a wonderful time seeing the highlights of Rome with Ricardo. We had just arrived in Italy on the same day of the tour, so we thought getting a lay of the land without having to walk while we were jet lagged would be a great idea. Our tour guide Ricardo did such s great job of teaching us about Roman history and culture and welcomed any Qs. He was very entertaining, friendly and attentive to make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying the tour. He took great care of us and we learned so much! We even made a stop to get gelato and he gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. So if you want a quintessential Roman experience on a Vespa with wonderful entertainment, look no further and book a ride with Ricardo.
Fabulous tour with detailed history

5.00Wonderful tour! Andy was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. It was terrific to be in a golf cart which meant we could go through the pedestrian area and we saw a lot of sights! He is a native English speaker and that also helped to make his tour very easy to understand!
