About this tour
Spend three hours exploring Rome from a classic Vespa sidecar, steered by a local driver who handles the navigation while you take in the city's rhythm and light. You'll weave past landmarks both famous and tucked away, stop for gelato at a proper spot, and swap seats at pauses so everyone gets sidecar time. It's a faster, breezier way to see the Eternal City without your feet doing the work.

- Live commentary through headsets during the route

What to expect
Your driver collects you and briefs you on the Vespa—one passenger sits in the sidecar, the other behind. You'll spend three hours moving through Rome at a pace that lets you absorb the surroundings: the warmth, the street-level energy, conversations drifting from piazzas. The driver provides context through your headset, pointing out why a corner matters or what happened on a particular street. At a stop or two, you'll swap places so both of you get sidecar time. Gelato happens mid-tour at a spot locals actually use. The whole thing feels less like tourism and more like being ferried around by someone who knows the city.
