Our story

Francesco is from Puglia — he studied Archaeology in Lecce, then History in Rome, working in tourism along the way. Together with his wife Mihaela, they opened a small rental shop near Campo de' Fiori. First it was bicycles. Then Vespas. Soon after, the tours became the heart of everything.

  1. 2013–2018
    Started in the centre of Rome (Campo de' Fiori) with bike and Vespa rental, under the name Roma Rent Bike.
  2. 2018–2019
    Moved closer to Termini station, growing the team and the fleet.
  3. 2020
    The pandemic pushed us to focus on one thing only: guided Vespa tours.
  4. Today
    Tours for couples, families, friends and corporate groups — scaling with trusted local drivers when needed.
