Rome Highlights by Vespa: Private Guided City Tour
Ride through the Eternal City with a local guide and discover Rome the way Romans live it.
This private Vespa tour in Rome places you on the back of an iconic Italian scooter as a real local guide navigates the city's most celebrated landmarks, hidden corners, and storied neighborhoods. It is a curated journey through what is arguably the world's greatest open-air museum, designed for travelers who want genuine encounters rather than crowded queues.
Your driver is a Roman through and through, armed with firsthand knowledge, neighborhood anecdotes, and a passion for sharing the city they call home. You will move fluidly between ancient ruins, baroque piazzas, and panoramic hilltops that most visitors never find on their own.
This is a passenger experience, not a self-drive tour. Each Vespa carries one guest and one driver, keeping the journey intimate, safe, and deeply personal. Special self-drive arrangements require a separate inquiry, a valid motorcycle licence, and an additional supplement.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins near one of Rome's most surprising monuments: the Pyramid of Cestius, a genuine ancient Roman pyramid. From there, your guide leads you into an important historic district, rich with excellent local eateries and a story unlike anything found in guidebooks.
A sweeping Vespa ride takes you up one of Rome's celebrated hills, where a panoramic view over the city awaits. Your guide has a secret surprise in store at this stop — a reward for those who venture off the standard tourist trail.
No tour of Rome is complete without the dome of Saint Peter's and the Pantheon, the most intact ancient Roman monument in existence. Your guide shares the legends, architectural secrets, and historical context that bring both structures to life.
Ride through Piazza Navona to admire Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers and Borromini's Sant'Agnese Church side by side. Then toss a coin in Trevi Fountain before climbing to Trinita dei Monti for a stunning view over the city below.
Pass by the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina, the ancient Roman forum where Julius Caesar was assassinated. The tour concludes at the Aventine Hill, home to the celebrated Knights of Malta Keyhole and the fragrant Orange Trees Garden.
