It would be hard, however, for folks with accessibility issues as there is a lot of walking and hills to deal with.”

“We have been to Italy many times and have been on dozens of tours. This tour was - by far - the worst tour ever. There were 75-80 people on our tour. Who would ever sign up for a tour, anywhere, with that many people? We were loaded onto a double decker bus and the tour company paired our English speaking tour with a Spanish speaking tour. Every discussion/announcement was in 2 languages. Moving that many people from one location to the next was an effort and took away from the time that could have been spent in any of the location stops. One of the worst parts of the…”

“This was a 10/10 experience! The guides were so informative and personable, which made the trip even better. The only guide we recall is Haider, but there was a female guide as well but we did not catch her name. You take a bus to a parking lot to get you out of the city and familiar with the vespas prior to taking them out on the road. We appreciated the professionalism from the guides as they will make sure anyone who is driving is competent with the vespas to ensure everyone is safe. Then, you hit the road and get to spend a good amount of time to drive…”

Our guide, Angie, and driver, Alex made the trip so much fun. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no restroom on the bus and also no food or drink other than water. The tour was capped at 25 people which allowed us to meet and socialize with people from all over the world. My wife has a milk allergy and each snack and lunch was prepared without dairy.”
