Riders need prior scooter experience and a valid licence.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and receive your Vespa with a full safety briefing. The route winds through Rome's centre, stopping at major landmarks whilst your guide shares historical context. Expect narrow cobbled streets, moderate traffic, and the physical sensation of leaning into corners—nothing extreme, but genuine riding. The climb to Janiculum Hill involves steady acceleration but rewards you with unobstructed views across rooftops and domes. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a race. Tours run rain or shine; ponchos provided when needed.
