This was hands-down the best decision I made about our trip to Italy!
Annie and Giovanni were terrific. Giovanni was my contact before our trip - he was responsive, helpful, and patient. Annie and Cristiano were our two drivers and they were AMAZING. I brought my 14-year old daughter to Italy last month and this was her favorite part of our trip (and we did a lot of cool stuff). I like to know the lay-of-the-land when I visit a new place and this was the perfect way to see the city -- an up close, personal, guided tour on our first afternoon. My daughter and I both felt completely safe on the backs of their Vespas, scooting along the streets past incredible sites that we were going to see later that week. Annie + Cristiano made it very personalized, taking us to see specific places that were interesting / important to us (e.g. street art, Jewish Ghetto), in addition to all the main tourist sites (e.g. Coloseo). We stopped every 15 mins or so to take a break and hear all about the area around us. My biggest concern was how the rest of our trip would possibly compare to this fantastic experience on the very first afternoon we were there.
I have to add that Annie was a wonderful resource -- recommending other places for us to see during the rest of our stay, restaurants to go to, the best gelato places, neighborhoods to visit. She and Cristiano actually marked up our map of Rome with all of their ideas and suggestions, tailoring it to what they knew about us and our interests.
Later on, we visited all the main sites they'd shown us (e.g. Vatican, Colloseum, Roman Forum, etc.) and in every tour group when we heard about certain things, we thought, "Oh yeah - we saw that!" or "Right - we were there and heard all about that". What we'd learned from Annie + Cristiano was consistently more in-depth than what we heard from the guides INSIDE the actual sites we'd driven past.
I recommended Scooterama to everyone we met. Best best money I've ever spent on a trip and they deserved every penny.
