Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

History narrates that the ancient city of Rome was founded on the Palatine Hill and then expanded on the other six hills that later formed the legendary Seven Hills of Rome. Just driving one of our Vespa scooters across these places you will discover the beauties of the Capital, in an exciting and fun trip. This itinerary of about 3 hours riding a Vespa scooter has always offered the best emotions.
