## Overview

Join us for a unique adventure aboard a Vespa Sidecar! After the pickup from Piazza di San Pantaleo and we are going to ride towards Colosseum and Monte Oppio with our vespas, we’ll ride through Rome’s most iconic spots, offering stunning panoramic views. We’ll pass by Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Vatican. During the tour, we’ll make two stops: one at Pincho in Villa Borghese with a beautiful city view, and another at Fontana dell'Acqua Paola for a breathtaking view of Rome. We’ll also pass through Trastevere, Ponte Garibaldi, and the Altare della Patria, before returning to the Colosseum. A perfect tour to see all of Rome’s highlights in just 90 minutes!
