Itinerary

Colosseum Stop 1
No Roman tour would be complete without the Colosseum—and while we won’t go inside, we will stop nearby so you can capture that epic shot. This ancient amphitheater, once the stage for gladiator battles and Roman spectacles, still stands as a powerful symbol of the Eternal City. A quick photo here is a must—and the Vespa makes it even more iconic!

As we weave through Rome’s historic streets, we’ll pass by the grand Basilica... Stop 2
As we weave through Rome’s historic streets, we’ll pass by the grand Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. One of the city’s four major papal basilicas, it’s a masterpiece of sacred architecture and centuries of Christian history. While we won’t stop here, you’ll get a great look at its impressive facade and elegant bell tower—a true gem of Roman spirituality and art.
Pass by
Terrazza del Pincio Stop 3
We’ll take a relaxing break at the Pincian Terrace, nestled in the beautiful Villa Borghese gardens. From here, you'll enjoy one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Rome—overlooking Piazza del Popolo, the rooftops of the historic center, and even St. Peter’s dome in the distance. It’s a peaceful moment in nature with the Eternal City laid out before you—perfect for photos, a deep breath, and taking it all in.
Pass by
Piazza del Popolo Stop 4
As we descend from the Pincian Hill, we’ll ride past the grand Piazza del Popolo—one of Rome’s most iconic squares. Once the main northern gateway to the city, this elegant piazza is framed by twin churches, ancient fountains, and a towering Egyptian obelisk at its center. Though we won’t stop, you’ll have a fantastic view of its symmetry and scale from the sidecar as we glide by.
Pass by
Castel Sant'Angelo Stop 5
As we cruise along the Tiber River, we’ll pass the striking Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, this fortress has served many roles over the centuries—from a papal refuge to a prison. Its circular shape and dramatic position by the river make it one of Rome’s most photographed landmarks. Though we won’t stop here, the view from the sidecar is more than worth it!
Pass by
Vatican City Stop 6
As we cruise through the heart of Rome in our Vespa sidecar, one of the most iconic landmarks we pass—though not enter—is the Vatican City. This tiny independent city-state, the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic Church, is home to St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. While our tour doesn’t include a stop inside, you’ll get a unique street-level view of the Vatican’s majestic walls and bustling surroundings. It’s a perfect photo moment and a chance to take in the grandeur of the world’s smallest country—right from your seat in the sidecar!
Pass by
As we ascend Janiculum Hill, we’ll pass by Piazza Garibaldi, home to the towe... Stop 7
As we ascend Janiculum Hill, we’ll pass by Piazza Garibaldi, home to the towering equestrian statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, a hero of Italian unification. This scenic square offers sweeping views of Rome and is steeped in 19th-century history. While we won’t stop here, the atmosphere and views from the Vespa make it a memorable part of the ride.
Pass by
Fontana dell'Acqua Paola Stop 8
Just a bit further along Janiculum Hill, we’ll pause at the majestic Fontana dell'Acqua Paola—often called “Fontanone” by locals. This grand baroque fountain, with its cascading water and panoramic backdrop of Rome, is one of the city's hidden gems. It’s a perfect place for photos and to soak in the peaceful beauty of the Eternal City from above.
