The experience

You ride as a passenger on a Vespa with a driver who navigates Rome's streets and points out the city's history. The tour starts at the Colosseum with a photo session, then moves through the orange-tree terrace at Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, built by Pope Paul, and stops at Bocca della Verità, the marble mask in the portico of Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church that legend says bites the hand of liars. You'll pass through Piazza Venezia, the city's famous square anchored by its iconic monument and home to the National Museum of Palazzo Venezia, and see Via del Corso, Rome's main shopping street.

The photographer travels with the group and takes 25 professional images on a Sony Alpha 7 IV at two designated stops. Those photos are sent to you within 3–5 working days at no extra charge. You wear a helmet and hygienic cap throughout the ride. The guide speaks English, Italian or Turkish and can answer questions about the sites as you pass them. The whole tour runs 90 minutes.

Is this one for you?Small groups work best here since you're riding as a passenger and the photographer needs clear sightlines at each stop. Book this if you want Rome's main landmarks without navigating the streets yourself, and you want professional photos of the experience without paying separately for them.
