“We booked 5 rides- two adults, two teens, and a senior citizen. We were very pleased with the tour and the Vespa rides. Our guides were knowledgeable about the city and fun to converse with. The only drawback was that we had ordered 5 sidecars and only one of the vespas had a side car. (The rest of us sat on the back of the Vespa seat with the drivers.) Also, it was hard to get in touch with the guides before the experience. We waited for a while but our guide did not see us at first and we didn't know who to look for.”
