About this tour

See Rome’s celebrated landmarks from the passenger seat of a Vespa sidecar on this 90-minute city tour. With a professional driver at the controls, you can take in the sights without needing to ride or navigate the city yourself.

Starting at Piazza di San Pantaleo, the route passes the Colosseum and Monte Oppio, then continues by the Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Vatican. Stop at Villa Borghese for a sweeping city view and at Fontana dell'Acqua Paola for another memorable panorama. The ride also passes through Trastevere, across Ponte Garibaldi, and by the Altare della Patria before returning to the Colosseum. Passengers can switch between the backseat and sidecar at stops for a different perspective. Each sidecar carries two passengers; solo bookings may share with another solo traveler.

This Rome Vespa Sidecar Tour offers a lively way to see several iconic sights in a short time, with helmets and hairnets provided. Meet your driver at Piazza di San Pantaleo and enjoy Rome from the road on this guided passenger experience.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 211 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 7% in Rome means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Rome by this score.
