With a deep knowledge of the history and art of the city in addition to a true ability of storytelling, your guide will be full of fun anecdotes and information to share with you while wandering among the narrow streets or passing beside the most famous monuments and attractions of Rome. Infact, you will be provided with a whisper headset, so you will be able to listen to his tales during the ride and ask some questions at the same time.
The team at Vespa Sidecar takes pride in having one of the most authentic experiences to explore the beauty of Rome just as a true Roman would.

Vespa Sidecar Tour itinerary
You will pass by countless attractions but 12 will be the main key points of the tour. Starting from Piazza della Repubblica: Quirinale, Fontana di Trevi, Trinità dei Monti, Piazza del Popolo, Saint Peter Square, Gianicolo, Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto, Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, Colosseum and Santa Maria Maggiore, for a total of 25 km.
But this is not only a “on the road” tour: three of the above stops will include time to walk and explore, and one of them will also include a tasty break. First stop at the Pantheon: just before entering inside the ancient temple now converted into a church and starting the visit, you will taste a typical Italian breakfast; then, during the second stop, you will have the chance to make a wish throwing the coin in the water of the Trevi Fountain (scenario of the unforgettable scene of the movie La dolce vita). And then, the final stop at the Gianicolo, one of the 7 hills of Rome, the one with the most breathtaking view on the city skyline.
At the end of this unique tour you will surely be able to link all the different aspects which combine the mosaic of this extraordinary city made of marble and stone, built through the centuries.
