Appian Way Vespa Rome Tour

The Appian Way Vespa tour will start in front of the Colosseum. Start by getting adjusted to your Vespa by having a short ride to introduce you to how the scooter works. Then, head off toward the first and most important of all roads leading to Rome, the ancient Appian Way.

Ride the first 10-miles of the way, stopping by famous ancient Roman monuments, such as the Ancient Roman Tombs, early christian catacombs, the best preserved ancient Roman Circus (Maxentius), the great Roman aqueduct, mosaics from a first century Roman villa, famous churches like Domini Quo Vadis and St Sebastian outside the walls, ancient royal tombs and more.

Visiting the Appian way is a real treat as you will get a chance to go outside the city's center. You will be surprised to discover yourself immediately on a countryside with shepherds walking along with their sheep, plus a lot of greenery on your sides filled with monuments left from all periods of time.

During the tour your guide will ride a Vespa with you following on your scooter, enjoying a safe and beautiful ride. Stop from time to time when arriving at special sites, going down and exploring them. Your guide will make sure you get to see a lot of hidden gems and secret corners missed by most people when traveling along the way.
