Travelers exploring Rome usually face two common problems: regular traffic and summertime heat. On this private tour, zip through street traffic on a Vespa scooter during the evening, when the temperature drops and the tourist crowds disperse. Follow your guide past the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, and Castel St. Angelo before finishing at the Trevi Fountain after several hours of sightseeing. A daytime tour option includes stops for coffee and gelato.

All the different sites we stopped at and areas we hadn't seen before. Tour guide was excellent and informative.

Most memorable part of our Rome trip

Tim_R, Apr 2024

Fabulous way to see the City…. The highlight of our trip. We would have missed the best two views of Rome. Had just the right blend of excitement and safety :-)

ABSOLUTE MUST

David_W, Apr 2024

For anyone visiting Rome, I would strongly recommend the vesper tour at night through the city. It’s experience not to be forgotten.—The sunset on Aventine Hill was unforgettable

Magical

Haley_W, Apr 2024

Cuma and Angelo were amazing!!! By far the BEST experience we have had in Roma! The evening tour was magical and highly recommend! We have been on other tours and this one tops the charts bc we saw areas we didn’t know about!!!

So Fun!

Ellie_L, Apr 2024

This was such a fun way to see Rome! Great views. Lots of people looking at you and you feel like a celebrity. Our guide was funny. We felt safe on the Vespas. If you have full size teens under 18 just pay for them as adults because otherwise it is too squishy to fit two adult size people in the sidecar which is how they do it.

Bucket List item - TICK!!!!

Jess_S, Mar 2024

This tour was so much fun!! Riding a vespa in Rome - WOW!! Bucket list item ticked off. The tour was so cool, we seen a lot of the main places you want to see but we also got to see some hidden gems that not too many tourists know of. My favorite in particular was the keyhole to the city, OMG it was so beautiful and random!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun - Mum and I had the best time doing this :)

Amazing way to see Rome

Bernadette_p, Mar 2024

The Vesper and Sidecar tour was amazing. We got to see parts of Rome that we just wouldn’t see on foot. The tour guide was brilliant Roberto and so knowledgeable and made the whole experience brilliant. I would highly recommend this trip!

A wonderful adventure in Rome

Roberto our driver had made this experience amazing. We had learned so much from him and he showed us many different places. We saw main attractions and he also showed us little secret locations in Rome. Must do this tour !!

Vespa is the way to tour!

Elizabeth_L, Dec 2023

Fun Way to See Rome

Jessica_M, Dec 2023

We met some people at our hotel who did this tour & raved about it, so we had to book it for our last day in town. It was a great way to see some familiar sights (albeit from new angles) and some new ones. Stefano was a great guide & even volunteered to take some photos of us at the different destinations. Very fun and unique experience that I would recommend to all!

Come back!!

Guillermo_G, Nov 2023

They were on time. It was only four of us on the tour. Very informative and interactive with us. Views, I did not expect to see I saw. Angelo and Roberto were great tours.

Amazing

Erika_O, Nov 2023

It was the best experience for my 8 year old son. We went to celebrate his birthday on this Vespa tour. They tour guys were amazing!! They weee knowledge about history and patience with my son. They also gave great restaurants recommendations!!!

Must do tour in Rome

Sian_S, Nov 2023

This was a awesome tour!! I took my 9 year old son and we both loved it. You don’t drive the Vespas so you are free to relax and take in the sights. You have a main tour guide at the stops, and your driver is also a guide giving you lots of facts and stories about the places you drive through. The main tour guide was Roberto and he was very funny, attentive and so incredibly knowledgeable! We stopped off at all of the main sights and I learned things about The Colosseum that I didn’t learn on the main Colosseum tour. Our driver and guide on the Vespa was Stefano and he was brilliant. A very safe driver but also a very good guide also. You have a nice drink with the whole party at your last stop which is nice as you can swap pics etc. It’s honestly the most fun I have ever had on a city tour - my 9 year old loved it! And kids don’t always love tours but they will love this one! Great value for money too!

So much fun . Excellent guide and tour!

Ellen_Z, Oct 2023

Fabulous tour , the highlight of our stay in Rome! We had so much fun & felt like this was the best way to see the whole city on our 1st day . We covered so much & they took us to places we never would have thought of seeing. Our guide Giovanni was so informative & so eager to make us feel totally happy with the experience. I highly recommend this!

Brilliant tour with good drivers and guide

Emma_F, Oct 2023
