Rome Must See Self-Drive Tour by Vespa or Electric Buggy
Get ready to steal the spotlight in the cutest, most jaw-dropping two-seater e-buggy — or one of our brand-new, absolutely gorgeous Vespas — to ever hit the streets of Rome. It’s not just a ride, it’s a private, authentic experience through history!
This private guided tour is for anyone who wants to proudly say, “Yes, saw that!”
From the Colosseum to Trastevere, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps — in just 3.5 hours, we’ll guide you through the must-see icons of the Eternal City, at your own pace and with your own group.
Follow your English-speaking local guide via walkie-talkie as you zip along hidden alleyways, explore characteristic neighborhoods, stop at panoramic spots, and take all the photos your camera can hold.

Can pregnant women join the tour?
Pregnant guests are welcome, but participation is at their own discretion.
Please note that Rome’s cobblestone streets (San Pietrini) can make rides a bit bumpy.
We do not recommend the Vespa option for pregnant women; the Electric Buggy is a safer and more comfortable choice.
Can I modify the itinerary or request specific stops?
Yes — on request, small adjustments can be made.
We always try our best to accommodate your preferences, but changes depend on the guide’s discretion and current city conditions (like events, traffic, or closures).
If a specific site isn’t accessible that day, don’t worry — we’ll replace it with something equally beautiful and authentic.

No — this is a private tour only.
You’ll enjoy your experience exclusively with your travel companions and your personal guide.
Are there moments where we walk during the tour?
Yes, absolutely!
At several stops, you’ll enjoy short strolls to take photos, explore, and simply enjoy the moment.
There’s no rush — this is your tour, and it’s meant to be relaxed and fun.
Do we enter the monuments included in the tour?
No — this is a sightseeing tour focused on the exteriors.
You’ll admire famous sites such as the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and more from the outside, while learning their stories and enjoying the atmosphere.
In what languages is the tour available?
The tour is led in English by default, but can also be arranged in Spanish or French upon request.

Absolutely! Our team is international and we speak several languages, so communication is always easy — before, during, and after your tour.
