Itinerary
See the sites of Rome on the back of a Vespa and pretend you’re a local, hair blowing in the wind. This evening Vespa tour is with a small-group, so you’ll meet a few new people while you’re sightseeing.
You won’t be driving- your guide will. You can relax either behind the driver or in a sidecar. You don’t have to worry about dealing with traffic or navigating between the city’s landmarks. Your guide will also tell you all about the history and culture of the places you pass by places like Venice Square, the Roman Baths, the Colosseum, and much more.
Make sure your cameras are ready, too.
Along the way you’ll also be treated to an Italian delight- gelato, plus a cup of coffee to get you energized for the night ahead.

Best way to see the city! Great guide with lots of knowledge! We covered many miles and it was largely after the crowds were gone! Will definitely do it again!
Lindsey_K, May 2026
Amazing!! Had a FANTASTIC time!! The best way to travel and see things around Rome!! Highly recommend!! A* Thanks to Manuel and Simon!!

This tour was the best thing we did during our two weeks in Italy.
Our driver, Simone, was outstanding. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome. He was so personable and knowledgeable.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was how much he shared with us about daily life in Rome, the culture, and the city beyond the usual tourist perspective.
We were also able to experience parts of Rome that we never would have been able to see on foot.
It was such a fun way to explore the city, and I cannot recommend this experience enough.

I treated my husband (who is a sponge for history), my teenage son (who is ADHD and gets overwhelmed easily) and my 10 year old son (who is easy doing anything) to a Vespa tour with Andreas and Marco. For our financial situation a tour like this is a luxury and I had to save up for it....and I cannot tell you how impressed with myself I am...this tour was pure joy for all of us. We all have very different capabilities of sight seeing and this tour was the highlight for each of us. In terms of safety-it's so safe; my nervous husband was relaxed from the start. In terms of fun-even though it's safe the feeling of zipping around is exactly as cool as I was hoping. In terms of touring and information-Andrea is a through and through historian. I felt badly that he got stuck with me because I am NOT good with history (I just wanted to spend time with my kids and not have to be responsible of anything) but he was so understanding and to my own surprise I DID actually learn so much. To get a locals view of this unreal city I abolutley recommed this tour and especially Andrea and Marco. Thanks guys, we'll never forget our afternoon.

Tara_M, Mar 2026
We loved this excursion! In fact, it was my daughter (who's 13) and I's favorite experience in Rome. The guides were great, both our driver and the lead guide. Super friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone!
Ernesto_B, Mar 2026

Simon was a a perfect guide for a perfect day.
We recommend this tour for first time visitors!
Lisa_W, Dec 2025
Absolutely the best way to experience Rome! We were able to see and hear about so much about the city. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable.
Norah_A, Dec 2025
An absolutely amazing Vespa tour! Not just because of the ride itself, but because of our incredible tour guide. He was extremely generous with his time and knowledge, explaining the history behind every place we visited in such an engaging way.
Jodie_S, Nov 2025
Friendly, fun and educational!! Our driver was great, he took his time to explain everything into detail. Also, it was quite cold out during our excursion. He even provided us with a blanket to keep us warm.
Amy_B, Nov 2025
Such a fun way to see Rome! One person on the back of the Vespa and one in the side car-you see the main highlights in a fun and efficient way to travel the city. Our guide was great fun and super knowledgable. We had a blast!
Tori_W, Nov 2025
Best your ever! Simon was the best tour vice and I had so much fun in the side car!!! We saw all the tourist spots and some hidden gems. Great photo ops! Would definitely recommend!
sue_S, Nov 2025
Lovely quite relaxing activity. Fun and scenic and a great way to see Rome at night. Polite and thoughtful drivers who were very engaging.
Jane_C, Oct 2025
Great fun if a little crazy in the mayhem of Rome traffic but we felt safe. Booked on a last minute whim and glad we did, although if there had been availability we would have seen more in daylight
Lynn_H, Oct 2025
Could not have been more fun and our drivers and guide were great! We stopped at sites with great reviews of history and structures, stopped for gelato at a place/ piazza identified as great by Stanley Tucci in his food search TV program (the red wine gelato is very good!) I expected something quick and cursory. This tour is not that! Loved it. And they are very accommodating for those with mobility issues, even to the point of positioning the side cars for maximum views and listening to the guide speaking.
Jann_L, Oct 2025
You have to book this tour!!! I booked at 6:00pm, the sun setting was beautiful. We stopped for pictures and informative talks about different areas! Also stopped for gelato. Zooming through the streets is an amazing way to see so many different areas of the city of Rome.
Reggie_H, Oct 2025
We had the best time! Our guides were so amazing and experiencing Roma is an experience we will never forget. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
George_U, Oct 2025
Beautiful night in Rome, great tour, great tour guide(s), exhilarating ride in a sidecar on a Vespa, crazy Rome drivers, great Vespa drivers! Always felt safe. Everyone, including the drivers, had a great time!
Karen_P, Oct 2025
Booked the 6pm tour and the views were amazing! Our drivers would point out sights throughout the ride too. At the stops, our tour guide would explain each landmark and was very funny, made the experience fun for sure. It was honestly a great way to end our trip. Highly recommend them!
Weronika_M, Oct 2025
We booked the 6pm Vespa tour and it was such a great way to see Rome and get a lay of the land. Our driver was Roberto, who pointed out landmarks and sights along the way. At the stops, Manuel provided us with descriptions of the locations and he also gave us food and drink recommendations in the area we were staying in - we ended up only eating at the places he recommended. Highly recommend this experience - seeing Rome this way was magical.
Maria_T, Oct 2025
Just do it!!! It was the highlight of our trip to Rome!!! We saw parts of the city we have never seen before and our driver was really sweet and really cared to make sure we had an amazing experience.

Wonderful experience. Manuel, Fortunado and Henrico were gracious, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Great way to see Rome and experience the Vespa culture. Would highly recommend.
fiona_b, Oct 2025
A wonderful first evening in Rome. Simone was a wonderful guide, sharing the sites and stories of Rome. He was great with our son and we loved the family side car.
Barb_S, Oct 2025
Our driver was amazing! He shared all of his knowledge regarding each monument we stopped to visit. This was my second tour with Viator, my sister was traveling with me. Please book your tour. It was so fun to see Roman this way. I can’t wait to return to Rome! 🇮🇹🇺🇸😒
Natalie_A, Oct 2025
This was the highlight of my tour. Loved this tour. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. The views were amazing.
Mahima_A, Sep 2025
It was our first time doing a Vespa tour in Rome and Roberto was one of the best drivers. He made us feel very comfortable, took our pictures, very knowledgeable about the architecture, and was very kind. Manuel was also very knowledgeable, gave us very good food recommendations (we tried one spot after, was amazing) highly recommend both of them and this tour if you are in Rome!!!
Katrina_K, Sep 2025
WOW! Absolutely blown away by this experience. If you’re lucky to get the amazing Andrea as your tour guide, then you’re in for a real treat! I surprised my sister to a trip to Rome for her 30th birthday and booked this as an added surprise. From start to finish, it was the most perfect experience. Andrea really knows his stuff! He was the most fun, entertaining and informative tour guide I’ve ever had (and I’ve done some travelling over the years!) His passion for his city really came to life, and my sister and I learned some really interesting new facts about this beautiful city. Andrea even stopped off and got us a beer - WHAT a day. My sister and I will never forget this incredible day together. THANK YOU ANDREA!! You made our day 💓 thanks for all the laughs, the photos, everything! It’s a day we’ll never forget. I HIGHLY recommend anyone visiting Rome to book this activity in! sending all our love from the UK 💓

My niece daughter and grandchildren did this and loved the tour. They got a great feel for the city. They loved it!
Kara_d, Sep 2025
A beautiful and thrilling way to see the city led by such kind and knowledgeable locals! Plus, I especially recommend catching the 6pm tour we did (mid-September) to catch beautiful sunset views.
