The experience

You start at the Colosseum and travel by Vespa through Rome's central landmarks, sitting as a passenger while your driver handles the navigation and traffic. The route passes Giardino Degli Aranci for city views, Castel Sant'Angelo (Hadrian's former mausoleum), and Janiculum Hill, which offers one of the widest panoramic views of Rome. You'll also pass the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, marking the end of the ancient aqueduct, Vatican City, and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument before finishing at Piazza Navona.

A professional photographer travels with the tour and captures images throughout the ride. You receive the full set of photos within two days. The tour includes a helmet for safety and snacks to eat along the way. Maximum waiting time before departure is 10 minutes, so the schedule stays tight.

Three purchase options let you shape the experience: the standard City Ride includes the Vespa journey and photos; the City Ride alone removes the photography service; or you can add tiramisu and skip the photos. All options cover the same route and landmarks.
