Treat yourself to a 2.5 h Vespa spectacle: drive your own red Vespa or ride as a passenger with our seasoned driver.

Francesco’s witty banter and impromptu serenades make stops at Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and more a true show. Skip the crowds, enjoy VIP‑style thrills, and leave with epic memories. Act fast—this dolce vita experience sells out!

This isn’t just about pretty pictures – it’s a real Vespa experience led by a licensed Italian guide.

While others offer quick photo shoots, we take you on a cultural journey through Rome’s history, stories, and local life – all from the saddle of an iconic scooter.

You’ll see famous sites like the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain, and explore hidden corners tourists rarely reach.

The meeting point may vary. Always check the tickets we sent you to confirm the final details before the activity.
