5.00This was amazing! We did the tour with my husband and 3 kids. It was the highlight of their trip. The youngest is 8yrs old, and felt completely safe in the side car. We got lots of attention and my kids felt like celebrities going through the streets of Rome in these beautiful vespas.

1.00Our driver did not take us to all the landmarks that were included in the tour. When asked if he would take us to all the included remarks he repeatedly stated “that’s not possible” I feel as though I did not get my money’s worth with going on this tour, I booked this tour because I wanted to see all the included landmarks however I did not get to do so.

2.00I got fooled on this one. I was expecting for this to be a SIDECAR ride in a Vespa. It is in fact a Vespa tour with you riding on the back of the Vespa holding on for dear life. I booked my entire party (3) and only one of us got to ride in a sidecar. We didn't see several of the sites that were on the itinerary leaving us feel like we got dupped on this tour. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun, I just feel like the description of this activity doesn't match what it actually is. I asked the tour operator for a partial refund and he declined.
Great way to see Rome from a different view

5.00We had a Vespa with sidecar tour yesterday and it was brilliant! Ernesto was our driver/guide - he couldn't do enough for us. We had already seen many of the sights of Rome, so he took us to places we hadn't been and changed the itinerary to suit us. He was very knowledgeable and so friendly. I would 100% recommend this tour to everyone, and hope they get Ernesto as their guide! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Rome - will remember forever! Thank you Luxurbe and Ernesto x

4.00We loved this! I thought this would be a memorable way to celebrate my daughter's birthday and her first time in Rome. She (and we) loved it! Andrea, Daniel and Massimo were funny and great taking us around the city. They took us to all the key sites I wanted my family to see and kept us safe on Rome's busy streets. The bikes were comfortable, especially the ones with the extra storage space in the back which gave passengers on the vespa more support. I would recommend this to anyone. It is a brilliant way to see the eternal city and imagine life as a native Roman. Ps, they had a brilliant gelato spot (award winning) that had some really interesting flavours. Best of all it was mostly gluten free and lactose free. Not easy to come by.
Very funny

5.00We had a great time on our Vespa Sidecar tour with Mat and Matteo. The guides were well informed, and we got to see Rome in style! If you're on the back of the Vespa hold on tight (my little legs struggled to reach the foot rests) but the sidecar was where the fun is at. Thoroughly recommend if you're looking for something different in Rome.
