The honest answer
Is a Rome Vespa tour worth it?
Highest rating on the page at the lowest price; the bus still has the review count.
On the numbers, the Vespa ride is the strongest listing on this page and one of the strongest on the site: 5.0 on 1,280 reviews at $27, cheaper than the hop-on hop-off bus at $22, which is rated 4.1 on 13,162. The bus has ten times the reviews and lasts up to three days; the Vespa lasts one to one and a half hours and comes with a driver and guide.
The sidecar at $120 costs more than four times the ride and buys three hours, pickup and a gelato; it is also 5.0, on 262 reviews. The Ferrari at $424 is the most expensive listing on this page and the only one where you drive, 5.0 on 76 reviews.
Where a Vespa is not the right purchase: a group that wants to sit together behind one guide. The golf carts from $44 seat the group in one vehicle, and the bike rides from $35 keep everyone on the same route at the same speed.
