About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, riding in a real genuine Vespa sidecar through Rome. This is a private tour for your group only, riding in a genuine Vespa sidecar — a distinctive, real format different from a solo Vespa ride.

The Vespa itself is a genuine piece of postwar Italian industrial design. Piaggio contracted aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio to design the first prototype in 1946, carrying over aviation details such as a stressed monocoque body and a wheel mounted like an aircraft's for easy tire changes. When company head Enrico Piaggio saw its narrow waist and curved rear bodywork, he reportedly exclaimed "Sembra una vespa!" — "it looks like a wasp!" — and the name stuck on the spot. The sidecar format used on this tour is a genuinely distinct configuration from the solo scooter: a second wheeled compartment is attached to the side, letting a passenger ride alongside rather than behind the driver.

Nothing did more for the Vespa's international image than a single film scene: Audrey Hepburn, riding side-saddle behind Gregory Peck through Rome's streets in Roman Holiday (1953), is widely credited with pushing Vespa sales past 100,000 in the years that followed. Decades on, the scooter is still inseparable from how outsiders picture getting around this city, and riding one in a sidecar, rather than on the back seat, gives you an actual seat with a clear forward view of the streets rather than just a grip on the driver.

Because the sidecar is wider than a solo Vespa, routes through Rome's historic center are chosen with that in mind: narrow enough lanes to feel genuinely close to the buildings, but wide enough that the sidecar doesn't need to detour around every tight corner a standard scooter tour might take.
