DETAILED OVERVIEW OF
VESPA TOUR OF ROME

Embark on a captivating exploration of Rome and its stunning surroundings through an unforgettable Vespa tour with Rome by Vespa. Choose between the exciting self-drive option or the convenient Vespa with a driver for a personalized experience.

All of our tours are led by expert guides who will showcase Rome's iconic landmarks during a 2.5-hour journey, including must-see sights such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, and Trastevere.

Ideal for time-constrained visitors seeking an authentic local encounter, this tour offers a chance to immerse yourself in the charm of Rome while cruising on the world-famous Vespa, an iconic symbol of Italian culture.

Along the way we’ll do many stops, some are quicker (for explanations and photos) and others will allow us to go for an easy walk or enjoy the views.

Regardless, we do not visit the interiors of the attractions. Our aim is to give you a broad and deep overview of the city whilst experiencing the authentic local lifestyle.

After the tour, you will be ready to explore further on your own, and visit the interior of your favorite landmarks with the proper wealth of information to make the most of it.

You can cancel up to 48 hours in advance of the experience for a full refund.

For a full refund, you must cancel at least 48 hours before the tour’s start time.

If you cancel less than 48 hours before the experience’s start time, the amount you paid will not be refunded and the balance that you have to pay at arrival will be charged on your credit card.

If you don't show up, the no-show fee will be the same as the cancellation fee.

Any changes made less than 48 hours before the experience’s start time will not be accepted.

Of course there is always the possibility, in case of rain, to change the departure time. Cut-off times are based on the experience’s local time.

By choosing the Vespa with a driver option, you can relax and fully immerse yourself in our Vespa tour without the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads or dealing with traffic.

Having a driver allows you to enjoy the experience to the fullest, without the responsibility of operating the scooter.

We offer insurance coverage for third-party incidents: Drivers are covered for any damages to vehicles or individuals for insurance purposes.

For those intending to drive, a €500 hold will be placed on your credit card or cash as a guarantee for the Vespa.

Passengers joining the tour are fully covered by our insurance.

1. Scooter driving skills: Due to the intricate traffic and crowded streets of Rome, this option is not suitable for beginners or those lacking prior riding experience. We kindly request that only experienced riders participate.

2. Minimum age requirement is 18 years old.

3. Driving license: If you hold an EU-issued driving license, you need to have the category A or B license (valid also for UK, Turkey, Israel, and Switzerland).

4. International Driving Permit: If you hold a driving license issued outside the EU, you must also have an International Driving Permit as it is a legal obligation.

5. Security deposit: A security deposit of €500 is required, either via credit card or cash as a guarantee for the loaned Vespa.

By opting for the Vespa self-drive option, you have the flexibility to ride solo or with a passenger on your own Vespa. It is essential that you possess confidence as a rider, along with proficient scooter driving skills.

Exploring the city through this option is incredibly enjoyable, as it allows you to experience the city like a true local.
