Itinerary
Meet your Vespa guide and driver directly at your Rome hotel and set off for a driving tour through the streets of the capital. Buzz through busy Piazza Venezia past the landmark “Vittoriano” monument, Colosseum, and Forum to the Circus Maximus, stopping to snap photos and learn about the city’s ancient Roman history from your driver along the way.

We booked the 3 hour tour to get an overview of the city. Marco and Erico were fantastic guides, with great historical and fun facts intertwined during the tour. From hotel pick up to drop off, everything was top class.
Highly recommended 👌🏾 Eric & Michelle 🇮🇪
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Eric and Michelle, we do our best to welcome our guests on board inspired by the authentic spirity of Conviviality of our old country. Marco and Enrico are actully two Stars of any Vespa Safari in Rome! Grazie Mille!
Lacy_C, May 2026
This was the perfect way to start our vacation in Rome. Marco and Enrico were absolutely fantastic—both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely fun to spend time with. They picked us up right at our hotel, which made everything seamless, and took us all over the city while sharing history, stories, and local insight you simply wouldn’t get on your own.
Even in the middle of busy rush hour traffic, we felt completely safe the entire time—they are expert drivers and true professionals. Riding through Rome on a Vespa gave us such a unique perspective of the city, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an unforgettable and effortless way to experience Rome.
Response from Host, May 2026
Ciao Lacy, Marco and Enrico send his best Italian Grazie and Arrivederci!!!!!
Jinexa_N, Apr 2026
Our main guide was a nature loving engineer proud local who clearly loves Roma and did a great job of sharing his love with us. The ride was bumpy and a bit chaotic yet so much fun! Such a great way to get to explore different neighborhoods! Definitely recommend it!
Response from Host, May 2026
Grazie Mille, we do daily our best to share our passion for Roma!
Tisha_C, Apr 2026
Absolutely the best way to see Rome! Marco made sure to ask if there were specific things we wanted to see and made sure he accommodated us. All the drivers were very pleasant and made the experience fun for my kids. Lots of historical context included with the sightseeing made this a must-do activity!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Grazie Mille for your great words Trisha. Marco and the Boys told us they ha a lot of fun driving Rome around with your kids.
We're glad they made a good Job.
Come back soon!
Ciao!
Willow_B, Apr 2026
BEST way to tour Rome! We liked it so much that, if we were staying a few more days and could see a slew of different sights, we would go out again on Vespas. Giacomo was very knowledgeable and took us to many hidden gems and a delicious pastry shop and introduced to us a special treat only available around Easter .
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Ciao, grazie Mille!! Giacomo, like all of us, is born and raised here and is so easy for him to orientate his guests to the essence and the authenticities of Roma.
Christa_A, Jan 2026
Our nighttime tour of Rome by Vespa was BY FAR our favorite experience throughout our 3 weeks traveling through Italy. The tour was fantastic but it would not have been as wonderful as it was if it weren’t for our 3 guides. My guide was Giacomo. Giacomo and his crew were so incredibly knowledgeable of Rome, including so many small bits of knowledge only locals would know. He included personal aspects of the tour that made the trip truly authentic and my favorite part. The value of the trip was unrivaled because it was so personal. He included personal recommendations of restaurants, gelaterias, and patisseries. They even made us a reservation for dinner at one of their recommendations during the tour and dropped us off at the restaurant afterwards. We will 1000% be returning for a countryside tour when we return!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Grazie Mille Christa, we do our best to pass you over our passion for our old city.
Caio_F, Jan 2026
We had such an amazing time with our guides Andi and Giacomo, despite the rain that got us they gave us an amazing experience full of history details. They even added an extra stop by our request.
I had the tour with my wife, it was our first time in Italy and our guides were so respectful and kind answering all our questions and even giving us some tips about the city, restaurants and other places to visit.
This is a must do!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Grazie Milel Caio! Girando in Vespa a Roma esce sempre l'arcobaleno!
Rebecca_S, Dec 2025
The best Roman experience! We had been to Rome a few times and somehow Valerio managed to take us to several new places we hadn’t explored before, was so full of knowledge and didn’t hesitate to answer every single question. Highly highly recommend doing this tour!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Grazie Rebecca, we had such a great time with you, indeed. The wonderful Sunset of Rome played his role greatly!
Patty_R, Dec 2025
Ricardo was amazing! He took me all over Rome, from the old to the new to the hidden gems. His energy and knowledge on the history was perfect.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Ciao Patty, well, you got the Vespa Star.
We know very well Riccardo's experiences are amazing.
He says Ciao!!
Nick_B, Dec 2025
Amazing private guided tour with very knowledgeable local Giacomo. Hidden gems were found and tourist traps were avoided! 5 stars!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Grazie Mille Nick.
Well...you got Giacomo, born and raised here in Rome... a star of the Vespa Guides. We're glad you enjoyed the Tour.
Have a great Roman Holiday!
Alexa_M, Dec 2025
Alessio and Andi were the most incredible tour guides. My mom and I did a private tour and would do it again ten times over!! Thank you so much again!!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Ciao Alexa, Alessio and Andi say Grazie Mille for sharing your Roman Holiday with us!
Buona Natale! (Merry Christmas!)
Jenivie_G, Nov 2025
Valerio was an absolute rockstar during our Vespa tour. He was exceptionally kind, with a contagious sense of humor, and possessed a wealth of knowledge about Rome's history and hidden gems. Being able to spend my birthday with him while exploring the vibrant streets of Rome made the experience feel truly adventurous, immensely fun, and remarkably memorable. This tour didn't even feel like a typical guide-led activity because it was more like riding a Vespa with a close friend, sharing stories and laughs along the way. Thanks so much, Valerio. I highly recommend this experience to everyone I know who wants to see Rome from a unique and personal perspective.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Mia Dolce Jenivie,
I'll never forget our Ride, indeed.
Keep in touch.
Valerio.
Whitney_A, Nov 2025
Marco and Alessio were excellent guides. We had so much fun and learned a lot. It is a great way to see other parts of Rome.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Ciao Whitney, Marco and Alessio are Rome Born and raised. Their city has no secrets for them and they naturally perform the greatest authentic tour ever!
Scott_F, Oct 2025
This was just fantastically fun. Our family of 3 each had a Vespa with a driver. The driver/guides were terrific. Friendly, knowledgeable, funny. We were traveling with our 10yo son and they were very engaging with him. They picked us up at the hotel and gave us the option to go back or be dropped off somewhere and so we chose Campo dei Fiore. What a terrific way to experience Rome.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Ciao Scott,
our young Guests are always our Vespa Stars. We feel the honor of that and we try our best to leave them a memory of our Roma.
Grazie!
Sandra_B, Oct 2025

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Grazie Mille Nathan,
our guests smile is our best prize!
Ciao!
Debbie_F, Oct 2025
SO much fun! Our tour guides were amazing! I had Andy and had the coolest most fun night ever. Such a unique and special way to see Rome. They were as nice and flexible/fun as could be. We have nothing but good things to say about this tour. I highly recommend to anyone especially if you have limited time to see Rome or limited mobility. Very easy, fast and fun way to see so much of the city.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
It's a pleasure to read this kind words. Our guys are always happy to welcome new people!
Grazie mille, Debbie!
Natalie_J, Oct 2025
I surprised my husband with the Vespa tour of Rome. What an amazing experience! Marco and Federico, who were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, took us places we could never have visited in our own, outside of the touristy Centro. And the feeling of zooming through the Eternal City on the back of a Vespa is not to be missed. A day I will never forget.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Ciao Natalie,
you got the A-(Vespa)Team for your special Occasion. Marco and Federico, both born and raised in Rome are some of our Top Guides.
They're glad you enjoyied the Experience.
Grazie Mille!
Victoria_B, Sept 2025
A great way to get an overview of Rome including the bohemian student quarter as well as the famous sights. Beats slogging around on foot in the heat! Friendly, professional guide. Well worth it.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Grazie Mille Victoria. Our Vespa Tour is, frankly, THE Tour in Rome., indeed.
Greetings by our Boys!
Kim_N, Sept 2025
Omar & Andi were amazing Vespa tour guides & drivers. They had so much historical knowledge and showed us some hidden gems, such as the Caracalla Bathhouse which we toured today. They were friendly and answered all questions we had. It was fun & exhilarating!
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Ciao Kim, grazie mille for your sweet words. Andi and Omar are two of the best Players! You got the "CHiPs"!
Thank you for joining us!
Diane_R, Sept 2025
We took a private tour, just two of us, with Giacomo and Andi. This was THE BEST way to see all of the sites and being guided by locals we were taken to places we would never have seen otherwise. They were very knowledgeable with a true passion for Rome. Giacomo and Andi were also so fun and friendly. This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon, zipping through small city streets, piazza's and up hills for great views. We also stopped for amazing gelato and Giacomo gave us so many other great recommendations for shopping and food. We will definitely take this tour again, next time we visit Rome.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Ciao Diane, Grazie Mille for your sweet words. Giacomo and Andi are two Vespa Stars, and they're Rome Addicted yes, Indeed. Come back soon!
Paula_T, Aug 2025
Absolutely FANTASTIC
A must to do in Rome! The guys were so informative. One of my daughters rode a vintage Vespa!!
A memory that WILL last a lifetime
Just struggled with pick up at the location
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Kind Paula,
Grazie MIlle for yor majestic words.
This is exactly what we want to give to our guests: a Memory that lasts (of a sequences of masterpieces spotted in a row, gladdened by the fresh breeze, seasoned by the conversation with your italian driver).
P.s.:yes, we struglgled to find you at the beggining, because your accomodation was actually right next to the Vatican Museums entrance and we couldn't park the scooter there.

Our tour with Ricardo was amazing. He knew so much about all the hidden gems that we would have never seen on our own. So much fun, easy going and an overall great experience.
Thank you!!
Response from Host, Aug 2025

This was our favourite experience in Italy. Giacomo and co. made my family feel safe whilst zipping through Rome. Lots of facts, sights, photos and fun! We loved it!

Ciao Sally, Grazie mille for joining Giacomo and his team. Giacomo is a brilliant guy, we must admit.
He sends his Ciao!
Sarah_A, Aug 2025
Both gentlemen made us feel comfortable and safe from the start of the tour. They were very friendly and informative. We were a bit nervous since it was our first time on a Vespa. Everything was organized and well planned out. Guys were punctual at pickup and dropped us off at a lovely restaurant. If you want a great tour of the city including hidden gems book this tour. They also gave us great recommendations to restaurant spots and things to see.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Ciao Sarah, thank you very much indeed for your so positive reviews. Once you book us, you book the entire package of our "obsessive-radical-joyful" Italianity. So, we just our ourselves...by our Vespa.
Ciao!!

Grazie mille Heather, it was a pleasure to guide you through the City. Ciao!
Vanessa_T, Jul 2025
My friends and I had the best time with Andy, Frederico, and Andreac! They knew so much about all the historical spots, but what really made it special was that they also took us to some awesome hidden places we never would’ve found on our own. They were super fun, patient with all our photo-taking & just made the whole experience feel easy and exciting! This was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone visiting. I’m already planning to do it again next time I’m in Roma! Huge thanks to you guys for ending our trip on such a high note & can’t wait to come back!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Ciao Vanessa, thank you for your kind words. We're waiting for you to come back for another ride!
