Vespa Tour Rome: Professional Photography Included

Your driver is also the photographer, shooting you at six landmarks in one afternoon.

A Vespa tour through Rome pairs vintage scooter rides with professional photography: you travel as a passenger while a skilled driver-photographer takes you to the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Orange Garden, Basilica di Santa Sabina, Belvedere del Gianicolo, Piazza Navona, and Castel Sant'Angelo. You receive 25 edited photos from a Sony Alpha 7 IV, plus a helmet, hygienic cap, and Tiramisu tasting at Piazza Navona.

The experience

The Colosseum stop lasts about 15 minutes for exterior photos. You don't enter the monument itself, just capture it from the street. From there, the route moves through Circus Maximus, the ancient chariot racing stadium that once held over 150,000 spectators and now sits as a public park. The Vespa carries you up to the Aventine Hill, where the Orange Garden offers views across the city and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica appears in the distance.

Piazza Navona is where you pause for Tiramisu, one of Rome's best versions according to the operator. The Belvedere del Gianicolo, the viewpoint on Gianicolo Hill, gives you the panoramic sweep of Rome's skyline, including the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Castel Sant'Angelo, the cylindrical fortress along the Tiber that began as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum in the 2nd century, closes the route. Throughout, your driver handles the Vespa while framing shots on a professional camera. You arrive at each stop ready to be photographed, and the 25 edited images come with you afterward.

The tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours total. You'll wear a helmet and hygienic cap for the ride. Children from age 4 are welcome, and the pace suits all fitness levels. The work is the driver's, not yours.
