The experience

The driver handles the Vespa while you sit behind, taking in the route through Rome's historic districts without navigating the traffic yourself. You stop at Piazza Navona for photos and history, then move through the city's older quarters toward the Colosseum, pausing at the Theater of Marcellus and Circus Maximus along the way. The itinerary ends at a high point in the historic center near Rome Termini, where you get a view across the city before returning to your starting point.

Helmets are provided, and the guide gives historical context at each stop, leaving time to photograph the landmarks. The remaining time in the tour is travel between sites. A live guide in your chosen language (English, Spanish, Italian, French or another) leads the experience, and pickup from your hotel or a meeting point is optional. You can also make your own way to the start.
