About this tour
Cruise Rome's historic heart aboard a Vespa whilst a photographer documents your journey. Over 90 minutes, you'll sweep past the Colosseum, climb to the Orange Garden's vistas on Aventine Hill, ride by the Mouth of Truth, and approach Castel Sant'Angelo. The route winds through Piazza Venezia and concludes at Piazza Navona, where you'll sample tiramisu amongst Renaissance fountains. Your guide navigates the backstreets; the photographer ensures you leave with 20 polished images of the city's grandest monuments.

What to expect
You'll be paired with an experienced Vespa driver who handles all cornering and traffic whilst you sit back and soak in the views. The pace is leisurely—stops last 10–15 minutes, giving you time to explore each piazza and pose for shots. Expect narrow cobbled lanes, occasional city noise, and crowds around major landmarks, especially mid-morning. The photographer works discreetly, framing wide vistas and intimate details alike. You'll receive tea or coffee during the Piazza Navona halt, then 20 JPEGs via email within days.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for short walks between stops. Bring sunscreen and water. Scooter riding isn't suitable if you have back problems, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. The bike can accommodate one passenger plus driver; no exceptions. Nearby bus and metro stations offer alternatives if you change your mind.
