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.

5.00A great way to get an overview of Rome including the bohemian student quarter as well as the famous sights. Beats slogging around on foot in the heat! Friendly, professional guide. Well worth it.
Awesome Vespa tour

5.00We took a private tour, just two of us, with Giacomo and Andi. This was THE BEST way to see all of the sites and being guided by locals we were taken to places we would never have seen otherwise. They were very knowledgeable with a true passion for Rome. Giacomo and Andi were also so fun and friendly. This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon, zipping through small city streets, piazza's and up hills for great views. We also stopped for amazing gelato and Giacomo gave us so many other great recommendations for shopping and food. We will definitely take this tour again, next time we visit Rome.
Fantastic day!
