About this tour

This three-hour circuit navigates cobblestone streets past the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and Baroque fountains, then swings through Campo de' Fiori and Largo Argentina.

What to expect
Your driver will pick you up at the Vespa and brief you on safety gear before departing. The sidecar seats one passenger whilst the second guest sits behind the driver; you can swap positions at any landmark stop. Expect to move briskly between sites with brief stops for photos and commentary. The ride is smooth on major thoroughfares but bumpy on Rome's old stone streets. You'll see major monuments from the outside and hear stories about their history without entering buildings, though you'll pass through neighbourhoods where locals still shop and eat.
