You will see much more of the city in short period of time than you could ever see as a tourist on your own. Overall, an…”

“Fabulous experience going around Rome on a Vespa and zipping through traffic and side streets while cars are stuck in gridlock. You cover so much ground in the 3 hours. Have frequent stops for photos and you get to see all the main sights (and get to park real close so little walking). The next day we went back to certain spots that we wanted to spend more time at, but this tour is the perfect introduction to Rome with a hilarious tour guide. Thanks Francesco for the laughs and memories. Best tour we have done yet!”

“Mario is phenomenal. Full stop. I’ve been fortunate to travel to a variety of countries with the help of wonderful guides, but Mario is by far the most knowledgeable and personable guide I’ve encountered. I told him that I would love to get off the beaten path, and he took me on a country route that included multiple stops (including for gelato at a local spot and an Italian soda at a market)! This tour made me feel like a local - I cannot recommend the experience and Mario’s expertise enough! It was the best thing I’ve done on my trip. (Thanks again, Mario!)”
