WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Piazza della Repubblica
Designed during the urban redevelopment undertaken after Rome was declared capital of Italy, the Piazza della Repubblica is one of the most important squares of the city, and extremely striking. The Piazza della Repubblica is made up of a large roundabout with an exquisite fountain, Fontana delle Naiadi, surrounded by imposing buildings on one side and a seemingly demolished temple on the other.
2. Quirinale Palace (Palazzo del Quirinale)
The Quirinal Palace (known in Italian as the Palazzo del Quirinale or simply Quirinale) is a historic building in Rome, Italy, one of the three current official residences of the President of the Italian Republic, together with Villa Rosebery in Naples and Tenuta di Castelporziano in Rome. It is located on the Quirinal Hill, the highest of the seven hills of Rome in an area colloquially called Monte Cavallo. It has housed thirty Popes, four Kings of Italy and twelve presidents of the Italian Republic.
3. Piazza Venezia
Inaugurated in 1911 to pay respect to Victor Emmanuel II, the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (Altare della Patria) is an imposing building located in Piazza Venezia. It provides some breath-taking views of Rome. The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele was inaugurated in 1911 as a tribute to Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of Italy after the country's unification. Inside the building is the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento and the Central Museum of the Risorgimento. Since 1921, the Victor Emmanuel Monument holds the tomb of the unknown soldier, a place in which the eternal flame shines and which is always guarded by two soldiers.
4. Pantheon
The Pantheon of Agrippa, also known as the Roman Pantheon, is one of the architectural masterpieces of the Italian capital. It is the best preserved building from ancient Rome. Completed in 126AD, was a Roman temple with a surprising oculus that is the building's main source of natural light.
5. Trevi Fountain
Trevi Fountain is the most beautiful fountain in Rome. Measuring some 20 meters in width by 26 meters in height, Trevi Fountain is also the largest fountain in the city. The origins of the fountain go back to the year 19 B.C., in which period the fountain formed the end of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The first fountain was built during the Renaissance, under the direction of Pope Nicholas V. The final appearance of the Trevi Fountain dates from 1762, when after many years of works at the hand of Nicola Salvi, it was finalized by Giuseppe Pannini. Interestingly enough, the name of Trevi derives from Tre Vie (three ways), since the fountain was the meeting point of three streets.
6. Spanish Steps
The Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti in Italian) were built at the beginning of the eighteenth century connecting Piazza di Spagna and the Church of Trinità dei Monti. It is one of the most famous parts of Rome. The staircase is a favourite spot among tourists to sit, relax and enjoy the views of Piazza di Spagna
7. Piazza del Popolo
The Piazza del Popolo (meaning The People’s Square) is located inside the northern gate of the city, which was once called Porta Flaminia. The square is situated at the beginning of Via Flaminia and was the main entrance to the city during the Roman Empire. Once on the main route to the north, Piazza del Popolo is still strategically located. Three important streets part from the square: to the left, Via del Babuino; to the right, Via di Ripetta and to the centre the Via del Corso, one of the main high streets of Rome.
8. St. Peter's Square
St Peter’s Square or Piazza San Pietro is probably one of the world’s most famous squares and one of the most breath-taking. It is located in Vatican City, at the feet of St. Peter's Basilica. Designed by Bernini during the seventeenth century, it houses over 300,000 people.
9. Terrazza del Gianicolo
Janiculum Hill, considered by many as the eighth hill of Rome, is a peaceful and refreshing attraction close to the city center. It's situated just outside the ancient city and is a great place to visit to get away from the bustle of Rome. Not to mention that the panorama from the top of the hill is breath-taking. As you walk up its pathways, you'll enjoy superb views of the city. Janiculum became very popular due to the important historical role that it played in the defence of the city. Becoming the setting for the battle in which Garibaldi repelled an attack from French troops, its paths are full of sculptures of the heroes, including Giuseppe Garibaldi.
10. Trastevere
Soak up the neighbourhood’s bohemian atmosphere and its numerous landmarks. You'll enjoy a drive through the authentic soul of Rome's alleys and typical trattorias, passing by the picturesque Jewish Ghetto.
11. Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is an ancient Catholic basilica that is considered to be the largest of the churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome. It is one of the city’s four major basilicas.

We had such an amazing time with the Sidecar Tour in Rome team! You get a unique view of the city (we had seen many of the sights a couple of years before so this gave us a fresh, unique perspective without all the walking!) With time at the Trevi fountain, Pantheon, overlooking Rome and the delicious gelato-stop, our time was nicely broken up. The commentary and history shared was fabulous! Always felt safe and comfortable. Thanks to the whole Sidecar team who put so much energy into this. It was the perfect high on which to end our vacation and an unforgettable experience. Would love to come back and do the Christmas run!

A couple of things to know about Rome before you visit - it is crowded and you spend a lot of time just getting around. It is also a really beautiful place that you want to see as much of as possible.

How to do both? Book an afternoon trip with Rome Vespa Sidecar Tours. This was the highlight of our trip to Rome (and there were plenty of great things). Matteo was a wonderful guide who knew so much about Rome and the sights we visited. The Vespas got us into and out of crowded places with relative ease and it was an absolute hoot spending the afternoon on the bikes.

I could not rate this experience more highly.

This is a highly recommended tour for anyone who’s visiting Rome, in the few hours we were able to reach all the places that are the highlights in Rome. This tour also includes tickets to the Pantheon. Mateo, our tour guide is awesome, very informative and led us through the crowd to get some good photos.

We had a fabulous time on this 3+ hour tour with a small group of others.
Barbara was our informative and lovely guide throughout via headsets, Fulvio our "pilot"! Several stops along the way from the Piazza dela Repubblica where we started all the way out to Vatican City and Trastavere including entry to the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, a gelateri and the Colosseum before heading back to where we started!

We had the best time on this tour. Our family of 4 loved every minute and would 100% recommend it. Fantastic way to get to many of the great sites in Rome and we never once felt unsafe. Our guides Alessio, Manual and the others were super friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely safety oriented.
This is a must do……

I had an amazing adventure riding in the Vespa sidecar! I think this tour is something that everyone should do when in Rome (or anywhere else). The drivers and tour guide are fantastic, the stories are original and the information is definitely more interesting than listening to the same-old same-old that you'd get on a bus tour. Driving around Rome in the sidecar I was able to see so many things that I'd missed on a general tour of Rome. The tour director and drivers definitely have a handle on the best gelato in Rome - you've never tasted anything this good. I might add that at 75, I was surprised that climbing into a Vespa sidecar presented no problem at all. If you have any doubts about whether or not to go - just do it! I guarantee you'll love making memories of Rome this way!

This is our second time visiting Rome so we decided to try something different. I own two Vespas but I’ve never rode in a sidecar and thought it would be fun! The tour did not disappoint! It was fun and informative!

From start to finish this tour was so unique and what a great way to get around Rome and see and learn about so many sites and their history. Luca was a great guide and driver as well as the other drivers here were so friendly professional and safe. We felt like rockstars as so many people were taking photos of us with envy and joy to see us and how much fun we were having. Highly recommend!
