About this tour
Cruise Rome's festive streets on a vintage Vespa with sidecar during the two-hour Christmas lights tour. You'll pass the illuminated façade of St. Peter's Basilica, Piazza Navona's twinkling fountains, and the Spanish Steps dressed in holiday décor, then duck into quieter piazzas and neighbourhood corners that glow softly beneath seasonal lights. A licensed guide shares local stories and historical detail from your seat—either in the sidecar for prime photo angles or behind the driver—while professional riders handle all the navigation.

What to expect
You'll board a classic Vespa—either settling into the sidecar or the rear seat behind the driver—and spend two hours weaving through Rome's central zones. The route hits major landmarks wrapped in Christmas lights, then pivots to quieter streets where locals celebrate. Your guide narrates history and seasonal details over headsets so you can hear clearly above the engine. If you're riding solo, you'll share the Vespa with another guest and swap seats at stops so both of you experience the sidecar. Travel time to and from the start point counts toward the two hours.
