Our Rome Vespa and Fiat 500 experience was absolutely fantastic! It was one of the highlights of our trip. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They were incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. They also helped us with different picture ideas and poses, making sure we got beautiful photos and unforgettable memories. Their kindness and attention to detail made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome. It was so much fun, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time! ❤️🇮🇹

Itinerary
The Flavian Amphitheatre, more commonly known as the Colosseum, stands in the archaeological heart of Rome and welcomes large numbers of visitors daily, attracted by the fascination of its history and its complex architecture. The building became known as the Colosseum because of a colossal statue that stood nearby. It was built in the 1st century CE at the behest of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. Until the end of the ancient period, it was used to present spectacles of great popular appeal, such as animal hunts and gladiatorial games. The building was, and still remains today, a spectacle in itself. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world, capable of presenting surprisingly complex stage machinery, as well as services for spectators. A symbol of the splendor of the empire, the Amphitheatre has changed its appearance and function over the centuries, presenting itself as a structured space but open to the Roman community.
The Circus Maximus is the largest building for public entertainment in antiquity and one of the largest of all time (600 metres long by 140 metres wide) and is related by a legend to the very origins of the city: the Rape of the Sabine Women took place here. At the time of the Tarquini kings, the Valle Murcia, the wide valley between the Palatine and Aventine hills, was used as a place for chariot races, but only under Julius Caesar, a real walled circus was built.
The Roseto Comunale (Municipal Rose Garden) is a beautiful rose garden located in Rome, Italy. It is situated at the foot of the Aventine Hill, near the Circus Maximus, and is one of the city's most enchanting green spaces. The garden is home to a variety of rose species and cultivars, and it’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists, especially during the blooming season. The Roseto Comunale was originally created in 1931, and it’s not just a garden but also a place of historical significance. It includes many different varieties of roses, and its lush, colorful displays draw attention each year. The rose garden also offers spectacular views of the ancient ruins of Rome, which adds to the charm of the visit. If you're in Rome in May, it’s a particularly great time to visit as the roses are in full bloom, and the garden often hosts events like the "Premio Roma" (Rome Rose Award), which awards the best new rose varieties.
The Giardino degli Aranci (Garden of the Oranges), also known as Parco Savello, is a stunning public park located on the Aventine Hill in Rome. It's famous for its beautiful orange trees (aranci), which fill the park with fragrance and color, especially in the spring and summer. The garden offers spectacular panoramic views of the city, including a breathtaking vista of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. It's a serene, peaceful spot that provides a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s particularly known for its tranquility, making it a perfect place for a relaxing stroll or to simply sit and enjoy the view. The Giardino degli Aranci has a rich history. It was originally part of the property of the Dominican monastery of Santa Sabina, and over time, it was turned into a public park. The orange trees, which give the garden its name, were planted in the 1930s, adding to the park’s charm.
The Tempio di Ercole Vincitore (Temple of Hercules Victor) is an ancient Roman temple located in the Forum Boarium, one of Rome's oldest and most important commercial areas. The temple, dating back to the late 2nd century BCE, is dedicated to Hercules, the Roman hero and god of strength, who was widely worshipped in Rome. What makes this temple particularly remarkable is its well-preserved structure. Unlike many other ancient Roman temples, the Tempio di Ercole Vincitore has retained much of its original form, especially its circular shape. It features 20 Corinthian columns, which are a testament to Roman architectural excellence. The temple's distinctive circular design makes it unique among other Roman temples, most of which are rectangular or square.
The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola (Fountain of Acqua Paola), also known as Il Fontanone, is a monumental Baroque fountain located on the Janiculum Hill (Gianicolo) in Rome. Commissioned by Pope Paul V in the early 17th century, it celebrates the completion of the Acqua Paola aqueduct, which brought fresh water to the city. Designed by architect Giovanni Fontana and completed in 1612, the fountain is a striking example of Roman Baroque architecture. It features a large central basin with a dramatic water display, flowing from several spouts. The structure is adorned with papal inscriptions and the pope’s coat of arms. Situated atop the Janiculum Hill, the fountain offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rome. The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola has also become famous as the setting for a key scene in the film La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty), solidifying its place in modern Roman culture.
The Terrazza del Gianicolo (Janiculum Terrace) is one of the most scenic viewpoints in Rome, offering stunning panoramic views of the city. Located on the Janiculum Hill (Gianicolo), the terrace overlooks major landmarks, including St. Peter’s Basilica, the Tiber River, and the Roman skyline. The Gianiculum Hill itself is rich in history and is one of the highest points in Rome, providing a breathtaking vista of both ancient and modern Rome. The terrace is part of the larger Parco del Gianicolo and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, particularly at sunset when the views are especially magical. The terrace also features the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, enhancing its beauty. In addition to the views, the Gianicolo Hill is home to monuments, such as the statue of Garibaldi, and has historical significance, particularly related to the Italian unification. It's a peaceful place to relax, enjoy the scenery, and explore Rome from a higher perspective.

We had the most fun time riding on the back of vespas through Rome, the best views and the best guide, Emilio. He brought us to some really great places and even took photos of us each place we went. Very affordable and private tour. Could not recommend this tour enough!!
An absolute highlight of our trip to Rome! Cruising through the historic center in a vintage Fiat 500 was so much fun. Our guide was funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and took us to stunning spots we never would have found on our own. If you want an unforgettable, unique experience in Rome, book this tour immediately
We couldn’t have picked a better way to spend our first evening in Rome! Seeing the city from the back of a Vespa was an unforgettable experience, and it immediately made us fall in love with Rome. Tural was an incredible guide and photographer—friendly, fun, and full of great local knowledge. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we met and captured amazing photos that we’ll treasure forever. It was so nice to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. This tour was the perfect mix of sightseeing, adventure, and photography. It also gave us a great introduction to the city and helped us decide what we wanted to explore during the rest of our trip. If you’re visiting Rome, book this for your first night and ask for Tural if you can. You won’t regret it!
