“Really fantastic night zipping around Roma seeing the city, the lights and Christmas decorations. Daughter claimed the side car so I can't comment on its comfort, but the vespas are a fun way to travel, and gives access to Rome's alleys and back streets.. The team did a great job in making us feel welcome and ensuring our safety. Everything was clean and efficient. Highly recommend this tour at any time of the year, but it is something special at Christmas.”
