About this tour
Ride pillion through Rome's backstreets and piazzas on a private Vespa, stopping at the Colosseum, Orange Garden, Santa Sabina Basilica, and hilltop viewpoints. Your driver navigates past Castel Sant'Angelo, St. Peter's and Trastevere en route to Piazza Navona, with a professional photoshoot at the start and a tiramisu tasting mid-route. Ninety minutes of two-wheeled sightseeing that feels less touristy than the usual coach crawl.

What to expect
You'll meet your driver at a central Rome location and climb aboard a vintage Vespa. The ride starts with a photo session at the Colosseum, then winds through quieter streets toward the Orange Garden and past the Circus Maximus. You'll climb to Santa Sabina—a serene 1,600-year-old basilica with city views—then ascend higher for Rome's broadest panorama. From there, the route heads west toward Piazza Navona, skirting Castel Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's, dipping into bohemian Trastevere. Before arrival, you'll dismount for tiramisu and coffee at a neighbourhood spot. The whole journey favours views and corners over major monuments; expect wind, noise and the hum of the engine.
Good to know
