The three-hour Vespa Panoramic Tour in Rome by My Vespa Tours we recently took was an amazing way to experience one of the most beloved cities in the world and truly some of the best fun anybody could ever have on two wheels. We are very experienced Vespa riders and the tour allowed us to get our overseas "scooter fix" while getting to see a good portion of the city with a very personable and knowledgeable guide.
Our experience with My Vespa Tours was really wonderful from start to finish. Francesco went above and beyond arranging for our tour with guide Vittorio. When we arrived at the shop, we were greeted and had a lot of fun talking scooters with the guides getting ready to set out on their tours. They really made us feel comfortable and helped us get helmets that fit us correctly.
Vittorio got us each on our own Vespa and gave clear instructions before taking off. The amount of different sights throughout the perimeter of Rome that we visited was really a great way to get a feel for Rome. The tour and places we went were fabulous but it was really the guide that made this one of our favorite experiences of our trip. He was fun, full of enthusiasm for scooters and his city, and made it his own personal mission to pack our tour with a lot of interesting sights.
We are used to riding scooters in city traffic and had no problem navigating traffic following Vittorio. Initially he took us through a variety of different types of streets and traffic, assessing our skills. A lot of Rome is a maze of streets and it was great to not have to worry about getting from point A to point B and follow.
Loved the places we rode to which included the Appian Way, a quick stop at one of the Catacombs, and the amazing Fontana dell'Acqua Paola fountain on Janiculum Hill, a stop at a favorite coffee shop in Trestevere, and others. Worth every single cent!
