3hr Rome Street-Food and Street-Art Tour on a Vespa in Rome - f48ae6230fe770ac19fa423cf6395e77

"Rome Street-Food and Street-Art Tour on a Vespa" is an exclusive 3 hour scooter ride for travelers who are looking to take their holiday to another level.

Join me and my vintage vespa collectors friends for a unique tour where you will see the most and the best of unusual Rome. We will take you for a ride on the back of our Vespa and we will stop by all the places in town we knew since we were kids.

When we were young students in high-school we used to skip school and have the best Focaccia at the bakery in Campo de Fiori where the scent floods through the streets.

Sometimes, with my friends, we had sandwiches in "Mordi e Vai", the best sandwich store in the very heart of Testaccio.

Those were great times!

We will stop by all these places of my memories and many more, and you wont forget the best espresso ever in Caffè di S.Eustachio, just behind Piazza Navona, nor the best street food from one of my favourite place!

You will experience best street-food (Italian way) while exploring hidden treasures and optical illusions that visitors rarely get the chance to experience.

But this tour is mostly about major Street Art epicenters !

Scooting around this city has been a great adventure and we recently grew passionated in Street-Art.

We designed this tour to enjoy this "en plein-air" masterworks signed by DIAMOND, LUCAMALEONTE, BLU, STEN & LEX and many others.

The travelers who want to immerse themselves in local life, Urban Art, history and super-tasty local food will fall in love with this tour.

So get your camera (and your tummy !) ready, the Roman most unconventional "en plein-air" museum is waiting for you on my Vespa!

If you ever come accross this opportunity, please do not hesitate for a moment! Alexander picked me up 8 minutes before tour to ensure that he understands all what I desired to see and what my expectations are from this tour. He explained health&safety procedures as he saw me shaking for my life. What an magnificent time I had! It is not just to see all the hidden gems of the city and try roman food, it is feeling of living la dolce vita and being part of the city. Riding through small streets, feeling breeze, getting all the knowledge from Alexander and seeing the things through his eyes! 926 churches Alexander! I will never forget what a wonderful time I had and I will recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience something unique and eye opening. Thank you soo much!!! Danke schon Grazie LenkaExperience of the lifetime😊

No better way to see the city than on a vespa! I took this tour with Alexander and it was a great day. A real highlight. We didn't do much eating (had quick breakfast stop then a light lunch, but it was 100+ F that day so I wasn't super hungry) and we opted to skip the street art and do more historical sight seeing. So it was different, but IMO all the changes were great. If you're really into the food, I'd just be vocal with your guide you want to eat a lot because I don't think it's a huge part of every itinerary. But loved seeing the city on vespa! Communication with Oliver was a bit hit/miss. I had to follow up a few different times leading up. He eventually got back to me but took a few prods. Not a huge deal, and my guide was on time and lovely, but just a heads up.What a way to view Rome!

Victorio and the guys that took us were amazing BUT DO NOT book “food and art tour” as it said bring you appetite so we didn’t eat all day and when on tour we got one gelato no food.. we were so hungry! They took us on sightseeing tour which we had already been on - so will not be using this company again as you do not get what you pay for and the sightseeing tour was a lot cheaper than this tour!

Amazing way to see the city. Completely different perspective on visiting Rome. Vittorio and Renzo were excellent guides and we left with a greater understanding of the history of the city. We plan on doing it again when we return to Rome. Definitely worth it!

Yesterday i had a great tour with Alexander. He showed me all the beauty of Rome on the back of the Vespa and we ate some of the greatest food. Alexander was very chill and had a lot of knowledge. I would say the best guide you can wish for ;-) Definitely would recommand this tour if you want to see the city in a original way. Had a great tour with Alexander!

I learned alot on the trip, and would recommend this to others. One of the best days i had in Rome. Thank you for a good Day A! Amazing

Francesca and Luca took my 18-year-old daughter and me out for a three hour vespa tour of Rome. In this short time, we saw some incredible sites, got a little bit of history/culture, and had the most delicious “granita” on the planet. They were so nice and made the tour fun and memorable. We highly recommend!!!Vespa Tour with Francesca and Luca

My Tour Guide was Alexander. He picked me up at the agreed upon location, asked about my expectations and we were off! Alexander was professional, knowledgeable and a skilled Vespa driver. We visited points of interest that I would have missed without him. It was the highlight of my trip so far so, thanks Alex for a wonderful day!Even Better

This was by far the best decision we made on this trip! Our guide, Alexander, asked what we hadn't seen, what we wanted to see and curated the tour from there. My parents who are in their 70s loved it and felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Would recommend this tour to anyone!Best way to see Rome!

If you’re looking for a beautiful an thrilling way to experience Rome, look no further! This 3-hour tour from the back of a Vespa is quite possibly the best thing we’ve ever done. With our knowledgeable and charming host/guides, we were able to experience the sights and sounds of this wonderful and iconic city through the lens of locals, and their passionate regard for its beauty, history and hidden treasures. Thanks for an experience and memory that will last a lifetime!A must for experiencing Rome!

This experience is really a must when visiting Rome. There’s no way I would have been able to see everything that I saw without doing this tour, plus riding around on a classic Vespa is really the only way to get around this city! Federico was my guide and he was delightful! Super knowledgeable, easy going and was proud to show some of the more off the beaten path, non-touristy areas! Highly, highly recommend!!A MUST do when visiting Rome!

We had a fun time with our drivers Vittorio and Francesca as we whizzed around the city sights and beautiful viewpoints. I was very confident in my driver and loved buzzing around the narrow little back streets in Trastevere, stopping for an espresso and soaking up the atmosphere. Thank you for a fantastic trip!Adventure in Roma

So many thanks to Alex, Andrea and Michele for giving us a wonderful tour. Alex has so much information to give and they all looked after us so well. If you are nervous, don’t be. The care and attention is second to none. Being able to see areas off the beaten track and simply see Rome as the locals do, you really can’t beat it. So lovely to see Alex again, 5 years after my first trip. He’s great! Would recommend without question. xxThe only way to see Rome!

If you have one day in Rome you should definitely do this three hour guided tour on the back of a Vintage Vespa. The guys were fantastic, their local knowledge brilliant. They were wonderful and kind to my 84 year old mother who wanted to experience what Audrey Hepburn did in the film - Roman Holiday- with her own Gregory Peck driving. We would not hesitate to do this again as you can personalize the tour. Vintage Vespa Ride with Locals

Our Vespa tour was absolutely a highlight of my 10 day trip around Italy. Vittorio is the best guide, and took us to both the quintessential Rome highlights as well as tucked away spots for gorgeous views, lesser known historical sites, and a granita di cafe con panna - a delicious local staple. He brought Benjamin and Fillippo to ride with my friends, who were just as wonderful. They even went overtime make sure we saw everything and got the most out of our short visit to Rome. Tons of fun and very safe driving. Would 1000% recommend (and I am very particular)!! Highly recommend!

Einfach ganz wunderbar. Ein Traum für jeden Vespafahrer. Der Klassiker. Man fährt zu den Sights, durch enge Gassen ab vom Mainstream. Die Informationen durch den Guide stehen sicher nicht in jedem Reiseführer. In kurzer Zeit sieht man so viel u.a. Auch ein paar Geheimtipps. Auf individuelle Wünsche wird spontan eingegangen. Z. B. kleiner Stopp für Snacks. Unsere Kinder waren auch begeistert, vor allem durch das leckere Eis. Lieben Dank an Vittorio und seine Gang😘Wie ein Italiener durch Rom

Had the best experience during our 3hour trip through Rome with our guide Francesco, and the kindest drivers. Francesco's enthusiasm about the Roman history was just what we needed to get a clear and brief view on the most important main achievements and attractions of Rome. And in addition you will get a couple of nice typical Roman experiences on top. For my 13y old son, the vespa tour was the highlight of our trip!Fantastic experience

Having visited Rome on a few previous occasions, this was the first time with my kids (6, 9, and 11). So I knew I would have to find something exciting to counter the walking and museum tours and generally adult-focused activities. The Vespa tour hit the mark for myself and the 9 and 11 year old without question, and the best way I've had seeing Rome. Our guides, Vittorio, Piero and Renzo, couldn't have been more accommodating and engaging with the kids and provided several stops throughout the tour for photos, etc. They were we a great laugh too and it's evident they love doing what they do! Driving down small alleys and amongst the crowds at the Pantheon are fantastic memories and the ones my kids will certainly remember!The best way to see Rome!

My boyfriend and I booked this Vespa tour relatively last minute, and I am so glad that we did. We were accommodated on a Sunday morning and collected straight from our hotel. Marta and her friend greeted us with warm smiles and had the route mapped out, although she did ask us what we had already visited and would like to see. We felt very safe and I was glad to not do the driving! I rode with the gent and my boyfriend rode on the back of Marta’s Vespa. It’s a beautiful way to see so much of the city and lots of fun. We stopped along the route for some info and photos. Would highly recommend! Best way to experience Roma

I and my bf hopped on a Vespa Tour and this is one of the highlights of the trip. It was a last minute decision and Oliver responded to my messages promptly! I couldn’t have asked for a better response and the whole process of bookings were seamless! Vittorio and Max ( our Vespa Guides) are such friendly and wonderful people! Being the last night in Rome, Vittorio took us to some of the off- beaten tracks which has some of the most spectacular views of Rome and it is a highlight to our trip! We took some great photos through the keyhole at Aventine Hill, the 1st pyramid out of Egypt ( which is in Rome), visited some landmarks like the Colosseum, up the hills that make up Rome, and we even went into neighbourhood like Travestere, Monti - and had an espresso in one of the oldest cafe in Rome. The weather was pouring at one time, and we felt safe, Vittorio and Max always made sure that we felt safe and ready to go. The flexibility of them adjusting to our preferences also put us more at ease. Furthermore, the love and passion from Vittorio and Max about their city, Rome shows through as they were wonderful guides and wonderful story on each of the places that we visited. This is a recommended activity if you would like to experience Rome with the locals! A Must Do Vespa Tour in Rome!

Vittorio was absolutely charming! His smile made me happy! He took me some highly recommended sites and added his favorites. I wanted to go into a neighborhood away from tourists. We went down narrow cobbled streets! I’m traveling alone and he made sure I got great pictures of the sites with me in the pics. I got to see many places in 2 hour that I didn’t expect to see. I was thrilled I picked you for my first day in Roma!! Vittorio was very knowledgeable and loves his city! I start another tour today but I can’t imagine having more FUN than I had with Vittorio.
