The Experience

The first thing that happened? My helmet felt too big — or maybe my head’s just small. Our guide Marco grinned and swapped it out for another, then handed me one of those little paper caps (hygienic, he said, “Roman style!”). I could already hear the scooters buzzing around the Colosseum before we even started, and honestly, my nerves kicked in. But once we took off, weaving through the traffic with Marco chatting about gladiators and how Romans still argue over the best gelato spot, I forgot about everything else.

We stopped for our first photo near the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola. The air smelled faintly of wet stone and oranges — there are actually orange trees everywhere up there. The photographer kept telling me to “look natural,” which is impossible when you’re laughing because your hair’s sticking out from under a helmet. Still, I think those moments made the pictures better. At Gianicolo Terrace, the view sort of caught me off guard — Rome just spreads out below you in this messy, beautiful sprawl. Marco pointed out rooftops and churches I’d never have noticed on my own.

I didn’t expect to get so into the whole Bocca della Verità thing (the Mouth of Truth), but Marco insisted I try it — he said if I lied with my hand inside, it’d bite me. He winked; I tried not to look nervous for the camera. The ride along Via del Corso was loud and chaotic and somehow perfect; people waved at us like we were locals. By the time we looped back toward Piazza Venezia, I realized I hadn’t checked my phone once. That’s rare for me.
