What to expect

  1. Colosseum

    Meet your drivers and vintage Vespa Sidecar right in front of Rome's most iconic landmark, the Colosseum. We will pause here to admire its awe-inspiring exterior architecture, feel free to snap a few photos with the ancient amphitheater as your backdrop, and imagine the thrilling gladiatorial games that once filled this legendary arena back in 80 AD.
  2. Roman Forum
    Pass by
    We will cruise past the majestic ruins of the Roman Forum on our Vespa Sidecars. As we ride along this ancient valley, you will get a panoramic view of the temples and arches that once formed the absolute political, commercial, and social heart of ancient Rome.
  3. Circo Massimo
    Pass by
    Enjoy a thrilling drive alongside the massive Circus Maximus, ancient Rome’s premier chariot-racing stadium. From the sidecar, you will easily visualize the ancient 600-meter track where up to 250,000 spectators once gathered to cheer on their favorite charioteers.
  4. Roseto Comunale
    Pass by
    As we head up the scenic Aventine Hill, we will pass by Rome's Municipal Rose Garden (Roseto Comunale). Enjoy the picturesque drive along the floral paths with beautiful views overlooking the ruins of the Palatine Hill.
  5. Giardino degli Aranci
    10m
    We will take a relaxing 10-minute break at the peaceful Orange Garden atop the Aventine Hill.
