Itinerary
One of Rome’s highest points, Gianicolo offers breathtaking panoramic views over the city. Here, we stop at the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, a stunning 17th-century fountain that has inspired countless artists and filmmakers. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of Rome and capture incredible photos before we ride down into the heart of the city.
Descending into Trastevere, one of Rome’s most vibrant and authentic neighborhoods, we stop for a taste of pizza al taglio, a Roman specialty known for its crispy base and delicious toppings, served fresh from the oven. After savoring this local favorite, we head to Bar San Calisto, a true institution where Romans gather daily. Here, you can enjoy a classic espresso or a digestivo like amaro or sambuca, immersing yourself in the city's laid-back café culture in one of its most iconic spots.
Next, we head to the Orange Tree Garden, a quiet and beautiful spot on the Aventine Hill. This peaceful park is filled with orange trees and offers one of the best views of Rome. From here, you can see the city’s rooftops, domes, and famous landmarks. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy the view, and take some great photos.
Next, we make a quick stop at the Pyramid of Cestius, a unique ancient monument that stands out in the heart of Rome. Built over 2,000 years ago, this Egyptian-style pyramid is a fascinating piece of history. Right nearby, it’s time for something sweet—a delicious gelato from one of Rome’s top gelaterias. With creamy textures and rich flavors, it’s the perfect treat before our final stop.

Brilliant. What a fabulous time we had with Simone today. He was charming, informative and such a pleasure to spend time with. Our Vespa 🛵 was beautiful Rosso, and the breeze as we drove along the streets was wonderful. Simone sang to us and told us all sorts of history, fabulous, would highly recommend.
Best time! Super accommodating and very friendly! Laughed and enjoyed so much! This is a must do!
Theeee best!!! We really enjoyed the tour Thank you Andrea and roberto
Huge thanks to Andrea for such an amazing tour in Rome! 🇮🇹 He made the experience so fun, interesting, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Rome, don’t miss this tour — highly recommended and absolutely worth it!
Wonderful tour, so fun in the sidecar! And Simone was a fabulous guide!
I loved knowing different corners of blunt to a very different style... 100% recommend it!! Thanks, Simone! 💜😎
Fantastic experience and a great way to see Rome from a different perspective after lots of walking to museums and monuments! Simon was a great guide; friendly , funny, and knew all the best spots to go to for a panoramic view of the city , or some hidden gems not often visited by the crowds. Food stops were tasty, and service was quick. Recommendations from the staff and guide made sure whatever was order it was guaranteed to be good. Absolutely recommend, if only to see how the Romans drive haha, which is exciting to say the least. 10/10
A great experience this gastronomic tour, Simmone was very friendly and attentive on this tour, fulfilled everything promised in the description of the reservation. The delicious Pizza, the incredible gelato, without a doubt an experience you should live if it is your first time in Rome.
Very chevere the experience, very cordial Simon, explained several things to us, in an incredible spirit, we had a great time with my son, thank you
We did the Vespa sidecar food tasting at night tour and it was 10 out of 10! Cesare was our guide and he did such a good job of taking us to the best pizza and gelatos that we had during our 8 day trip! Cesare also took us to “off the path” spots to take in views from less known locations. He offered to take our pics at every location too! My husband was on the fence about doing a Vespa tour but after we got going, he loved it and was so happy I booked it. It’s just a really good way to take in the sights, try some good food as recommended by a local and get your bearings of the area. After trying to narrow down which tour group to choose, I ultimately chose this one because I liked their tour route the best. So glad I did! Book it now and then let them lead the way!
