About this tour
Cruise Rome's backstreets in a vintage Fiat 500 or classic Vespa over two hours, guided by a local who knows where the real city hides. You'll sip prosecco as your driver navigates tight cobblestone lanes and piazzas most tourists miss, experiencing the city the way Romans do—wind in your hair, engine purring beneath you, and no windscreen between you and centuries of layered history.

What to expect
You'll be paired with a driver—this is not self-guided riding. Groups of three travel in a Fiat 500; larger parties split between a Fiat and a Vespa or Vespa with sidecar. Expect tight medieval streets, narrow piazzas, and the occasional honk from locals. Your guide narrates as you move, stopping occasionally so you can step out, breathe in the neighbourhood, and raise a glass of prosecco. It's more scenic meander than high-speed thrill, designed to show you quarters—residential enclaves, neighbourhood cafés, lesser-known churches—that tour buses can't reach. Two hours passes quickly once you're in motion.
