We would highly recommend this tour. It's without doubt the best way to get around Rome. Our guide Stefano was brilliant; good fun & great local knowledge. We went to lots of places which were off the beaten track & we might not normally have seen. Some great views of this amazing city & lovely photos. Our 9 year old said this was his favourite thing to do in Rome... even above the rugby match!! There are lots of restaurants near the tour-guides office which you're gonna need after 3hrs of flying around Rome on a Vespa. We'll definitely do this trip next time we're over.

It was the best decision to book for this tour! Was expecting only food tour but Monica went extra mile to educate us with some history of places we passed by. She is one of the best tour guide I’ve met across. Would definitely recommend this tout with her. I was a solo traveler but I really enjoyed it and had a fantastic time! Try this and you wont regret experiencing local street food tasting ❤️❤️❤️ merci Monica! Til next ❤️
