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.
Zip away from the bustling center to take in ancient treasures further afield, including the Baths of Caracalla, Appian Way, and Pyramid of Cestius before taking a break in the foodie quarter of Testaccio. Relax over an espresso or gelato before heading up to the Orange Garden atop Aventine Hill to take in views over Rome and pop into the Basilica of Santa Sabina.
End with a ride through the Campo de’ Fiori to check out Rome’s most famous open-air market before a final scenic leg up Palatine Hill before drop-off back at your hotel.

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!

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!

Grazie Milel Caio! Girando in Vespa a Roma esce sempre l'arcobaleno!

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!

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.

Have a great Roman Holiday!

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!!

Buona Natale! (Merry Christmas!)

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.

Mia Dolce Jenivie,
I'll never forget our Ride, indeed.
Keep in touch.
Valerio.

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!

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!
