About this tour
Ride pillion on a Vespa through Rome's countryside, choosing between hilltop wine towns or Renaissance villas. This 4–5 hour private tour takes you to the Castelli Romani—Frascati, Rocca di Papa, Marino, Ariccia—or Tivoli's Villa d'Este and Villa Adriana. Stop for lunch featuring local produce and regional wines whilst your driver navigates winding roads past vineyards and historical sites. You'll travel as a passenger, so no riding experience needed.

What to expect
Your guide collects you and you'll climb aboard as a passenger whilst they navigate the Vespa along scenic routes. The ride itself becomes part of the experience—feel the shift from urban Rome to quieter hilltop settlements or grand Renaissance grounds. You'll stop to explore on foot, eat at a local spot (included), and take in views across the Campagna. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a race but a flavoured tour of why Romans escape the city. Bring sunscreen and wear closed shoes.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spine problems, cardiovascular concerns, or are pregnant. If you want to ride your own Vespa, you'll need solid experience, an International Driving Licence (non-EU) and must pay separately for rental. Entry fees to villas or attractions aren't included. Helmets and basic insurance provided.
