What To Expect
Start with a pickup from your Rome hotel, and hop on the back of your Vespa scooter, behind your private guide. After a short safety briefing, you’ll set off to explore the colorful cobblestone streets of Rome. Your first stop is Piazza Venezia, home to the Vittoriano monument, the imposing white structure that dominates the cityscape of Rome. Hop off to learn about the landmark and hear recent stories about the struggles of Italians for their freedom. Head onward to the Imperial Forum to learn about the Roman Empire from its glory days to its decline. As you circle the streets of Ancient Rome, you’ll come face-to-face with the Colosseum. Jump off for a few more photos, and listen to your guide’s commentary to separate the Hollywood stories from the Colosseum’s historical reality. Continue to tucked-away treasures such as the Baths of Caracalla, and get to know the Ancient Appian Way. Stop to refuel with an espresso or gelato in the food-lovers district of Testaccio, and climb the green boulevard known as Aventine Hill. Admire sweeping panoramas from the orangery, before you look through the secret keyhole of Rome for a unique sight of St. Peter’s Basilica. As you wind your way back down the hill, check out Circus Maximus and the ruins of Caesar’s Palace in the distance. Once back in town, it’s time to finish up with a drop-off at your Rome hotel. Please note: It is not possible to drive the Vespa on this tour.

5.00Simone and Alé were wonderful guides. Visits to some of the best views in Rome, and knowledge about the city's history. They gave us great food recommendations and we're familiar with the neighborhoods within the city of Rome and outskirts. It made for an easy-going and low stress way to see the city. Very well thought out. Thank you both again for all the great pictures and sights! Andiamo!

5.00This was the perfect way to start our vacation in Rome. Marco and Enrico were absolutely fantastic—both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely fun to spend time with. They picked us up right at our hotel, which made everything seamless, and took us all over the city while sharing history, stories, and local insight you simply wouldn’t get on your own. Even in the middle of busy rush hour traffic, we felt completely safe the entire time—they are expert drivers and true professionals. Riding through Rome on a Vespa gave us such a unique perspective of the city, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an unforgettable and effortless way to experience Rome.

5.00Absolutely the best way to see Rome! Marco made sure to ask if there were specific things we wanted to see and made sure he accommodated us. All the drivers were very pleasant and made the experience fun for my kids. Lots of historical context included with the sightseeing made this a must-do activity!

5.00BEST way to tour Rome! We liked it so much that, if we were staying a few more days and could see a slew of different sights, we would go out again on Vespas. Giacomo was very knowledgeable and took us to many hidden gems and a delicious pastry shop and introduced to us a special treat only available around Easter .
Unrivaled experience…

5.00Our nighttime tour of Rome by Vespa was BY FAR our favorite experience throughout our 3 weeks traveling through Italy. The tour was fantastic but it would not have been as wonderful as it was if it weren’t for our 3 guides. My guide was Giacomo. Giacomo and his crew were so incredibly knowledgeable of Rome, including so many small bits of knowledge only locals would know. He included personal aspects of the tour that made the trip truly authentic and my favorite part. The value of the trip was unrivaled because it was so personal. He included personal recommendations of restaurants, gelaterias, and patisseries. They even made us a reservation for dinner at one of their recommendations during the tour and dropped us off at the restaurant afterwards. We will 1000% be returning for a countryside tour when we return!
