We did the Vespa with sidecar and had a blast.. Our driver was great and we spent about a hour zipping around Rome seeing the sites. Would definitely recommend.

Itinerary
No Roman tour would be complete without the Colosseum—and while we won’t go inside, we will stop nearby so you can capture that epic shot. This ancient amphitheater, once the stage for gladiator battles and Roman spectacles, still stands as a powerful symbol of the Eternal City. A quick photo here is a must—and the Vespa makes it even more iconic!
As we weave through Rome’s historic streets, we’ll pass by the grand Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. One of the city’s four major papal basilicas, it’s a masterpiece of sacred architecture and centuries of Christian history. While we won’t stop here, you’ll get a great look at its impressive facade and elegant bell tower—a true gem of Roman spirituality and art.
We’ll take a relaxing break at the Pincian Terrace, nestled in the beautiful Villa Borghese gardens. From here, you'll enjoy one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Rome—overlooking Piazza del Popolo, the rooftops of the historic center, and even St. Peter’s dome in the distance. It’s a peaceful moment in nature with the Eternal City laid out before you—perfect for photos, a deep breath, and taking it all in.
As we descend from the Pincian Hill, we’ll ride past the grand Piazza del Popolo—one of Rome’s most iconic squares. Once the main northern gateway to the city, this elegant piazza is framed by twin churches, ancient fountains, and a towering Egyptian obelisk at its center. Though we won’t stop, you’ll have a fantastic view of its symmetry and scale from the sidecar as we glide by.
As we cruise along the Tiber River, we’ll pass the striking Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, this fortress has served many roles over the centuries—from a papal refuge to a prison. Its circular shape and dramatic position by the river make it one of Rome’s most photographed landmarks. Though we won’t stop here, the view from the sidecar is more than worth it!
As we cruise through the heart of Rome in our Vespa sidecar, one of the most iconic landmarks we pass—though not enter—is the Vatican City. This tiny independent city-state, the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic Church, is home to St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. While our tour doesn’t include a stop inside, you’ll get a unique street-level view of the Vatican’s majestic walls and bustling surroundings. It’s a perfect photo moment and a chance to take in the grandeur of the world’s smallest country—right from your seat in the sidecar!
As we ascend Janiculum Hill, we’ll pass by Piazza Garibaldi, home to the towering equestrian statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, a hero of Italian unification. This scenic square offers sweeping views of Rome and is steeped in 19th-century history. While we won’t stop here, the atmosphere and views from the Vespa make it a memorable part of the ride.
Just a bit further along Janiculum Hill, we’ll pause at the majestic Fontana dell'Acqua Paola—often called “Fontanone” by locals. This grand baroque fountain, with its cascading water and panoramic backdrop of Rome, is one of the city's hidden gems. It’s a perfect place for photos and to soak in the peaceful beauty of the Eternal City from above.

Giovanni jnr and Aybars were our guides. They were friendly, warm and professional. Our ride was both fun and a great way to see the city. We went up to a lovely view point and had chance to take some photos. Would highly recommend this experience!
This was so fun and the drivers were very informative and me and my family enjoyed it very much it was brilliant.
Anil, Fabri, Claudio, Adam and Yunus were all great drivers and gave wonderful descriptions of all the highlights within Rome. Truly unforgettable!
Anil and Adam were excellent! Amazing tour! Highly recommended! Great pictures and a brilliant way to see Rome!
The group was wonderful! My son loved it and said it was the best. The group took us around everywhere we got to see so much. Very friendly staff!
Aybars, Asim, Adam were great for our tour. We really enjoyed the ride and it was lot of fun!!
Excellent history knowledge. Aybars was amazing!! We went all over the city and saw the biggest attractions! I would recommend to anyone.
We really enjoyed our vespa ride. Our driver Anil was so good and friendly. It was a great experience. Recommend this to everyone who visits Rome.
We arrived at the location early and it did take a few minutes to find them and figure it out. Our driver was very friendly and very informative however it was always difficult to hear over the engine and from the sidecar so I missed about 90% of what he said. I still enjoyed the tour and he took beautiful photos for us. I loved hearing his suggestions on what else to do on our vacation and the way he went above and beyond to make sure we had a top notch tour experience.
Sam and Roya were great guides, we had so much fun with them. Our kids felt like celebrities with the crowds in the city waving and smiling at the children in the cart. We are so happy that we chose to do this tour. Thank you for the lifetime memory.
This is an hour whistle stop tour of all the main attractions in and around Rome with very informative and capable drivers, avoiding main traffic where possible. Well worth it, a brilliant experience in all.
This was the most fun tour of Rome. Alexandra was a great tour guide and driver! This made my birthday special.
Our Vespa sidecar tour was absolutely amazing. Highlight of the trip for my husband and daughters. Our guides Aybars, Anil and Fabri were amazing, driving so well and providing information and facts about the sites we passed by. Best way to see Rome with kids - no walking!! Highly recommend, will absolutely to again for a longer time tour!
Five stars. Best way we’ve ever seen Rome. We booked a Vespa-and-sidecar tour on a whim after too many crowded walking tours, and it turned out to be the highlight of the trip. You sit low in the sidecar while your partner rides the Vespa, the city sliding past at a pace that actually lets you see it instead of just surviving it. Our guide knew when to talk and when to shut up and let the streets do the work. The sidecar itself is surprisingly comfortable—padded, secure, and just chaotic enough to feel like an adventure rather than a shuttle. Rome from a Vespa isn’t the postcard version. It’s laundry lines, espresso steam, scooters weaving around you, and suddenly the Pantheon appearing at the end of a narrow street. You smell the city. You hear it. You don’t spend half the day staring at the back of someone’s phone. If you only do one “touristy” thing in Rome, make it this. Wear a jacket, bring a camera you can actually use one-handed, and tip the guide. We already want to go back and do it at night.
Anil was brilliant guide, Very informative a lot the route. Lots of extra tid bits. Thrilling but not scary. Felt like we were being taken around by a mate.
I only had a few hours in Rome, and this tour was a perfect way to see the city quickly! My driver, Fabri, was kind, informative and a great/safe driver! The sidecar was comfortable and so cute! This was my favorite part of my short visit!
Anil, Alessandra and Paolo was perfect drivers. The kids and the adults all loved it! Super safe and super fun especially as an evening ride!
The drivers Fredo and Aism were nice, accommodating and engaging. The ride was nice and we were taken by all the major sites with stops that provided fantastic views of Rome from different angles and elevations. .
Brilliant. An experience not to be missed. My wife loved it. Go early or late to miss the traffic.
Anil was our guide, he was fun and gave us a great tour. Wish it was longer! Thank you for keeping us safe.
Anil was our guide, he was great! We had a great time and it was the best way to see Rome in a quick time!
Anil and Carlo were our drivers. Fantastic 1 hour tour of the main sights and a couple more we would have never found on our own. Family with 9 and 12 year old. Perfect on a hot Rome day. Can’t thank them enough.
Anil e Asim great guys, great experience and súper service! I highly recomiendas this to everyone , thank you
Anil was our guide and he was amazing! We had such a great ride and had a great laugh. Best part of the trip.

It was Amazing. Carlo was brilliant and very knowledgeable. Would recommend 100% best way to see Rome. 10/10
Anil, Asim, Mounir and Giovanni were our drivers, it was so much fun!! We had the best time driving around Rome in sidecars!
Anil was out guide and it was excellent experience, I highly recommend this tour to explore city.
Anil was our guide and Mounir and Claudio was our drivers. It was a great way to see the city of Rome. Breeze was lovely and the sights were fun to see on an hour long tour.
Anil and Carlo were our tour guides and they were amazing. It is such a great way to see the city, and all the sites. We went with our kids and they loved it!
Such a fun interesting way to view the highlights of Rome. Carlo our Vespa chauffeur was very informative and pointed out all of the interesting sites and answered all of our questions. We got to see Rome from all of the interesting little back streets and from the top of Rome with a view of the whole city. We highly recommend this tour
Añil, Asim, Giovanni, Adám were great drivers and tour guides we had an awesome ride with amazing views of the Coliseum especially at night.
Disappointing experience – safety issues and no commentary. We booked a 1-hour Vespa sidecar tour in Rome through Viator, and unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations for the price. First, the ride was extremely bumpy, and my helmet wouldn’t stay secured properly—I had to hold onto it with my hands for most of the trip, which felt unsafe. Second, there was virtually no narration. Our driver remained silent almost the entire time unless we explicitly asked what specific buildings were. The listing should have made it clear that this wasn't a guided or narrated tour. To make matters worse, when we stopped and asked to take a quick photo of ourselves in the sidecar, our driver refused and said there was "no time." Meanwhile, the driver for the other group right next to us allowed them plenty of time to pose and take pictures in their cart. We wish we had known what to expect beforehand, as this felt more like a rushed ride than a proper tour.
I would definitely recommend this tour if you are traveling with kids and want a quick experience. There is not a lot of commentary so don’t expect that, but the kids enjoyed anyways.
We had such an amazing experience and I recommend this activity to anyone that is up for a fun and adventurous ride at to see Rome! Special thanks to these guys who were very kind, responsive and attentive Añil, Yunus, Adam, Mounir
It was perfect fun with my family . Our guide Yunus was very kind, helpful and professional . I recommend for everyone !
This was a fanatic trip and worth every penny. To ride around time in an authentic Vespa really is amazing. You get to see some amazing sights. Great photo opportunity. We did this with our 10year old son and never stopped smiling. Carlo and Arsam were some friendly and they threw in some historic information.
This was so much fun! Arda and Anil were genuinely the best. It had beautiful sights and was just overall super cool. Highly recommend!
It is nice experience with the driver Asim and yunus. The driver drives us around the Rome city . My family and I enjoyed it
Our tour guides Arda, Fabri and Carlo were great fun! The tour was a great highlight and I especially loved that it was a late night tour— the weather was more pleasant. I highly recommend the tour! If you have teens! They would love it!
I had a great time while on the Vespa tour with my guide. I was a solo traveler and no one else booked that day. It was a nice drive around town to get to know where everything was. Driver was safe and looked like they were having fun too. I would say that I could only speak and hear him when we were stopped as it was too loud for everything else, as a result it was mostly, this is this and that is that when we got to a spot and even then just a drive by. Fun though!
Wonderful tour with Yunus and Anil, thank you we had a great time and saw lots of different places in Rome. Lots of fun with a family.
This experience was amazing! My kids loved it! Sitting in the side car they were able to take pictures and video of the sites. Our guide was friendly and stopped and let us out a couple of times for pictures and brought us to a scenic park with breathtaking views! I highly suggest a dusk ride ours was at 7pm in the summer and it was perfect.
I absolutely loved this tour! Fabri was so good! The views are stunning and the wind in your hair is so fun! Even as a larger man, I fit comfortably!
Gianni and Anil were Amazing and soooo kind and knowledgeable and we had the Very Best Time! Would highly recommend:)
Anil & Carlo amazing tour guides this tour is so good highly recommended thank you so much made our trip!!
This is one of the best tours we have ever done in Rome and around the world. So much fun while seeing all the top spots in Rome!
We had a great time! Riding around Rome on the back of a Vespa or in the sidecar is hard to beat. This tour didn't have a lot of commentary, but the experience was incredible. Highly recommended!
Super fun way to see all the sights in Rome! Would love to do it again next time we visit. Drivers were lovely
