Santa Maria in Cosmedin

Private Experiences

Rome is the perfect city to explore on 2 wheels, and there are no 2 wheels more iconic than a Vespa moped. The quintessential Roman mode of transport will see you turn heads for your sense of style as much as you will be turning yours to admire the historic and hidden sights of the Eternal City. Accompanied by an expert driver, visit the most important monuments of Ancient Rome, such as the Circus Maximus, Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Pantheon. Discover why romantics (and the Romantic poets) love the city at enchanting churches and decorative monuments, such as the Baroque Trevi Fountain - throw a coin in to make sure you return to Rome one day - and the Spanish Steps. Go to some of the city’s lesser known attractions, such as the carved face of the Bocca della Verità in the portico of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, recognizable to film fans from the Audrey Hepburn movie “Roman Holiday.” Keep your eye out for the new Pope Francis as you cruise past the Vatican City, and more.

Follow in the footsteps of popes, Roman emperors and gladiators on a 4-hour private walking tour of Rome and learn about life in the imperial city. Start at the Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum. Once able to seat up to 50,000 spectators, work on the immense theater began in 72 AD but wasn’t completed until 8 years later. Providing wild spectacles between man and beast, it was the most impressive of all the Roman arenas. Walk through the remains of the Roman Forum, where Romans spent time praying, trading, conversing with fortune tellers, electing their leaders, and even playing chess. Stroll from the Circus Maximus to Palatine Hill to see where Romulus and Remus were found by a she-wolf, and so began the story of Rome. Continue your walk through the Imperial Forums: Octavian Augustus, Caesar, and Trajan. Arrive in Piazza Venezia, where the man who wanted to be known as a new Caesar — Mussolini — addressed his speeches to the clapping crowd. It's also where the new kings of Italy built their memorial, the Victor Emanuel Memorial, also known as the Wedding Cake.
