Our kids’ favorite memory of Rome.
We had an amazing tour for our family of four (two kids, 8 and 11). Enrica was a fabulous guide with additional advice about how to enjoy Rome after the tour, and Chris sent us fantastic recommendations. With a Vespa and motorcycle licenses at home, my husband and I were able to continue our rental of the Vespas, and riding around the city became our kids’ favorite memory. The Vespas were perfect, and in seemingly new condition. I was very pleasantly surprised by how safe I felt riding in Rome. The Vespa culture is something I’d wish for back in the US. I’ve already started recommending “My Scooter Rent in Rome” to friends and family.

Raised by a feminist I believe I can do anything. Which I can...but it can be scary too. Thankful for the safety, guidance and s
So helpful, caring & safe. I rented a scooter with my 11 year old. I was a little rusty, but they were so patient & made sure I was safe before I left. With my Daughter on the back, I drove it through the city & explored the beautiful sights. The shop even answered my S.O.S call out of hours to help me when I lost my confidence and even arranged to collect the scooter. Although I found driving the scooter in such busy traffic scary, the team could not have done more to make sure I was safe and supported. One thing checked off the Rome 'must do' list. I am so thankful to them.

Lovely service and experience
We organized our rent with a lovely man who was also very fluent in English. The scooters are in excellent condition. You pay a 400€ bail that you get back a few days after the end of your rent. You can bring the scooter back without refilling the fuel tank, you just pay a 5€ fee. If you don't have the 5€ in cash, they can take it off your bail (so you get 395€ back).

Definitely recommend!

Response from the operator: Hi Lara :) Thank you for this wonderful review! We look forward to seeing you again. Greetings to you and your wonderful family... Ciao da Chris e Giancarlo

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Tours in Vespa Self Drive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
