Our Vespas
When it comes to touring Rome on a Vespa, there's no better way to do it than with an original Piaggio Vespa.
And at our tour company, we take that authenticity seriously. That's why we only use Piaggio Vespas on our tours - specifically, the Vespa Primavera 125 cc and the Vespa Lx 125 cc.
These Vespas are not only iconic Italian vehicles, but they're also reliable, comfortable, and easy to handle. Plus, with their 125 cc engines, they're the perfect size for zipping through the narrow streets of Rome.
The Vespa Tour of Rome
When you arrive at the meeting point, you'll be greeted by your expert guide, Francesco.
He'll provide you helmets and a Vespa that's ready to take you on an adventure.
If you've chosen the self-drive option, don't worry - before you hit the road, Francesco will make sure you're comfortable with your scooter during a test drive.
The Colosseum
As we rev our red vespas at the Colosseum, the most iconic symbol of Rome, Francesco will take the time to enlighten us about the history of this incredible monument and the city it represents.
Using visual reconstructions, he will provide us with a deeper understanding of the architecture and engineering that went into creating this magnificent structure.
And of course, we'll have an incredible photo to commemorate the experience with our trusty red vespas in front of the Colosseum.
Trevi Fountain
Approaching the fountain, you will be struck by the sheer size and grandeur of the structure.
The fountain is massive, with intricate carvings and sculptures that tell the story of the Roman god Oceanus and his sea horses.
You will take a moment to toss a coin into the fountain, hoping that the legend is true and that you'll have the chance to return to this beautiful city someday.
Spanish Steps
As you will approach the Spanish steps, the excitement in the air will be palpable.
Francesco, the guide, will explain the famous stairway that connect Piazza di Spagna with the church of Trinità dei Monti.
Don't forget to strike a pose at the Spanish Steps, the perfect spot for a picture that will forever remind you of this incredible journey.
Villa Borghese
Villa Borghese is the biggest urban park of Rome, where Romans relax and it will be part of our tour.
As you ride through this lush oasis, you'll be able to take in the beauty of Rome from a whole new perspective.
From this vantage point, you'll witness the majestic dome of St. Peter's Basilica towering above the cityscape.
Piazza Navona
The square is built on the site of the ancient Domitian stadium, and it's filled with history and culture.
You will be immediately strucked by the stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers, which takes center stage in the middle of the square.
The fountain was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of the most famous artists in Italian history, and it's a true masterpiece of Baroque art.
As you will approach the fountain, you can see the intricate details of the four figures representing the great rivers of the world - the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges, and the Rio de la Plata.
St Angel Castle
The castle was originally built as the tomb of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD.
This mausoleum was eventually converted into a military fortress that protected Rome during the Middle Ages.
Since then, it has served as the Papal Residence, a prison during the Renaissance era and now, as one of Rome’s museums.
Gianicolo
As you approach the Janiculum, you can feel the excitement building. Francesco explains the history of the cannon shot and its significance to the city.
From the top of the Janiculum, you can see all of the city's main monuments, from the Colosseum to the Pantheon to St. Peter's Basilica.
Trastevere
Imagine cruising through the winding streets of Trastevere on the saddle of your own vibrant red Vespa.
The sun is shining down on you, casting a warm glow over the pastel-colored palaces and cobblestone roads.
As you weave through the backstreets, you feel the breeze in your hair and the excitement of adventure in your heart.
As you explore the neighborhood, you can't help but be awestruck by the beauty of the colorful flowers in bloom.
