Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo

The Castel Sant’Angelo Rome was originally built as the tomb of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD. This mausoleum was eventually converted into a military fortress that protected Rome during the Middle Ages. Since then, it has served as the Papal Residence, a prison during the Renaissance era and now, as one of Rome’s museums. Other than serving as a repository of historical information, it is a site of immense cultural value that houses many sculptures, architecture, frescoes, and more.

Admission Not Included

Piazzale Garibaldi

If you're lucky enough to book the morning tour at 12 o'clock, Francesco will take you to witness an incredible spectacle - the cannon shot on top of the Janiculum.

When the moment arrives, you hear the loud boom of the cannon, and you watch as the smoke clears to reveal a breathtaking view of Rome.

You'll never forget the feeling of standing atop the hill, looking out over the city, and feeling like you're a part of its rich history and culture.

Fontana dell'Acqua Paola

Francesco will take you to one of the most breathtaking fountain in all of Rome - the Fontanone. Located at the top of the Janiculum hill, the Fontanone offers a panoramic view of the entire city. As you will approach the Fontanone, the beauty of the view takes your breath away. You can see the winding Tiber River, the dome of the Pantheon, and the majestic VIttoriano in the distance.

As you weave through the backstreets, you feel the breeze in your hair and the excitement of adventure in your heart. As you explore the neighborhood, you can't help but be awestruck by the beauty of the colorful flowers in bloom. The scent of the blossoms fills the air, and you feel like you've been transported to a romantic movie set. The locals bustle about their daily routines, but you and Francesco are in your own world, free to explore and discover. The ambiance is electric, and you feel like a true Roman as you soak up the atmosphere. By the end of your ride, you'll feel like you've truly experienced the essence of Rome.

My husband and I ended our 3 week Italy adventure in Rome. The last day we did the Vespa tour. It was THE BEST way to end our trip! So much fun and such a great day. Francesco was fun, informative and friendly. My husband drove his our Vespa and I rode along with Francesco. Always felt safe and secure. My husband said he was a clear guide and made him feel safe driving with the Roman traffic. 100% recommend. A must do in Rome!!

Lori_S

Our guide was great and it was a great way to see the whole city from afternoon to evening. We saw several panoramic views that were beautiful.

Kristen_K

Francesco was awesome! We felt safe driving the Vespa all around the city with him. He showed us popular tourist spots as well as some spots that we didn’t really know about. He gave us great historical information. I highly recommend doing this!!

Robert_P

Our guide Francesco was the best. Kept us safe though traffic explained the sites in detail. He was fun to be with . Ciara was very competent as a driver also and kept us in good company.

David_K

Riding a Vespa thru Roma streets, alleys and traffic may sound daunting, but it was the most fun we’ve had on a tour during our holiday. Francesco was an amazing host and guide thru the 3 hours of driving and site seeing. Highly recommend and I would definitely do this again when we return.

Patrick M

The day before tour the operator was trying to change start time by 5.5hrs. When we met the Rome-by-Vespa guide Francisco I had asked for refund after a few minutes because of his anti-American talk. They have no store front and the guide showed up at the meeting point 15 minutes late and started his Anti-American talk. Went around the corner, walked into another place and had a great tour.

Tiffany_T

Our tour operator was not comfortable with our driving skills upon 2 short practice runs so he canceled trip but did refund us money. Disappointed as we did have some experience. They did warn that we needed experience but I guess not enough.

Leigh_H

Wow! What a fantastic way to see this amazing city. I can’t believe how much of Rome we were able to see in just a few hours. My boyfriend has never been to Rome, so it was a great way to get an overview of the city. And even though I have been to Rome multiple times, we visited areas that were new to me, too. Our guide Francesco was super fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
