To know me is to know that my favorite way to explore a new city is on the back of a motorbike, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to discover Italy’s vibrant Vespa culture.
During my time in Italy, I took two Vespa tours, which inspired me to assemble a list of Rome Vespa tours that offer tourists a genuinely unforgettable experience.
Scooteroma’s Scooteroma Shuffle Tour
Scooterroma is a company whose name does exactly what it says it will—it gives guests an experience where they will be scootering around Rome.
The company provides over a dozen Rome Vespa tours that showcase the history, food, street art, cinema, and photography in Rome.
Scooteroma hosted me on their “Scooterroma Shuffle” tour, which combines all of the above in one 3-4 hour tour.
My tour guide, Marco, picked me up from my accommodation, planned our route in a few minutes based on what I wanted to see, and we were on our way!
I visited so many spots in Rome, stopping along the way to take beautiful pictures around the city and finishing with a refreshing gelato cone.
Vespa Sidecar Tour
Taking on a bit of a different twist to traditional Rome Vespa tours, the Vespa Sidecar Tour will have you riding in the sidecar of a Vespa, driven by a local guide.
The tour covers about 12 main sites in 12 miles, and there is a radio connected via modern whispers, so you can freely look around and enjoy all the sightseeing with insightful narration.
If you’re a morning rider, you’ll enjoy a light breakfast of cappuccino & cornetto, while afternoon riders can expect gelato.
My Vespa Tours
My Vespa Tours offers tailored Rome Vespa tours beyond the general city tour.
While many tours focus solely on the historic center, this company curates unique itineraries that introduce travelers to the lesser-known—but equally stunning—sides of Italy.
Tours like their Tivoli Villas and Castelli Romani adventures take guests off the beaten path, guiding them through scenic countryside roads and sites that the average tourist often misses.
Scooter Colosseum
Scooter Colosseum offers a range of Vespa tours that show the best of Rome.
The company offers Rome Vespa tours where you can explore Rome day and night, seeing the city from different perspectives.
Highlights covered during the tour include the Colosseum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trevi Fountain, with customizable itineraries to suit individual interests.
Buzz 4 Tours
If you want to live out your goal of riding a Vespa in Rome, Buzz 4 Tours is another company that provides Rome Vespa tours.
Tailored to more experienced Vespa/moto vehicle riders, you can expect to breeze past iconic landmarks like Circus Maximus and Piazza Navona while still receiving informative commentary along the way.
It’s a great option for travelers who want the thrill of riding through Rome with the flexibility to stop, explore, and take in the sights.
