This tour offers a guided ride through Rome on a Vespa with a driver and guide, lasting about three hours during the day or two hours for the 9:30 PM night option. The tour begins with pickup and starts at Piazza Venezia, where participants put on helmets and get seated either on a Vespa or in a Vespa sidecar. The sidecar is shared between two travelers who switch seats at each stop to ensure both get good views. For solo travelers or groups with an odd number of people, single Vespas without sidecars are used. Guests do not drive; a professional driver handles all vehicles. The route passes several famous landmarks in this order: Piazza Venezia, the Colosseum, Terme di Caracalla (Roman Baths), and the Pyramid of Cestius. Next, the ride ascends Aventine Hill, a quiet neighborhood with elegant villas, stopping at the Orange Tree Garden where travelers can get off and walk around for about fifteen minutes. The tour continues past the Circus Maximus and follows the Tiber River with views of its bridges. There is a twenty-minute break in the Trastevere neighborhood, where participants can enjoy ice cream or coffee from local vendors. The final stop is Janiculum Hill at the Fontanone fountain, offering panoramic views of Rome before the tour concludes. The package includes the use of helmets, a driver-guide, and tea or coffee during the break. Entry fees to attractions are not included. The tour runs rain or shine, with ponchos provided if needed.
