“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!”
