Itinerary and highlights
Meet your drivers and vintage Vespa Sidecar right in front of Rome's most iconic landmark, the Colosseum. We will pause here to admire its awe-inspiring exterior architecture, feel free to snap a few photos with the ancient amphitheater as your backdrop, and imagine the thrilling gladiatorial games that once filled this legendary arena back in 80 AD.
We will cruise past the majestic ruins of the Roman Forum on our Vespa Sidecars. As we ride along this ancient valley, you will get a panoramic view of the temples and arches that once formed the absolute political, commercial, and social heart of ancient Rome.
Enjoy a thrilling drive alongside the massive Circus Maximus, ancient Rome’s premier chariot-racing stadium. From the sidecar, you will easily visualize the ancient 600-meter track where up to 250,000 spectators once gathered to cheer on their favorite charioteers.
As we head up the scenic Aventine Hill, we will pass by Rome's Municipal Rose Garden (Roseto Comunale). Enjoy the picturesque drive along the floral paths with beautiful views overlooking the ruins of the Palatine Hill.
We will take a relaxing 10-minute break at the peaceful Orange Garden atop the Aventine Hill. Walk through the fragrant orange trees to enjoy one of the most famous panoramic views of Rome’s skyline, where you can also experience the fascinating optical illusion that uniquely frames and alters your perspective of St. Peter's Basilica dome as you walk towards it.
Experience the authentic charm of Rome as we glide through the vibrant neighborhood of Trastevere. Riding on the classic Vespa, you’ll breeze through its picturesque cobblestone alleys, ivy-draped ivy facades, and lively local squares.
We will stop at the top of Gianicolo Hill, widely considered to offer the single best panoramic lookout over the Eternal City. Enjoying the fresh breeze from Rome's highest ridge, you can take in the sweeping cityscape, distant mountains, and the unique experience of taking in two different countries—both Italy and Vatican City—from a single vantage point.
Our tour concludes at Piazza Navona, located in the heart of the city—an iconic square of great historical and artistic importance, famous for its magnificent Baroque architecture and Bernini's world-famous Fountain of the Four Rivers.
