See Rome’s Historic Landmarks
Your journey begins with one of Rome’s top attractions, the iconic Colosseum. Cruise up to this historic amphitheater in your vintage car as your expert guide explains more about this legendary site.
Continue diving into the city’s rich history as you zip over to the Circus Maximus. This ancient racing stadium was once one of the most significant entertainment venues in Rome, and is a classic stop on any historic tour of the city.
Explore Aventine Hill
Next, zip up to the picturesque Aventine Hill. As one of Rome’s seven hills, this is where some of the city’s most prominent churches could be found. From here, gaze out at a captivating view of the Eternal City as you spot some of Rome’s most important sights and landmarks.
From this enchanting hill, you’ll also find the stunning Orange Trees Garden. This breathtaking park offers an even more picturesque view of the city, so make sure to have your camera handy!
Your last stop along the Aventine Hill will be to peer through the Buco Della Serratura, or the Aventine Keyhole. As you approach an unassuming doorway, look through its keyhole to witness a perfectly framed view of St. Peter’s Basilica. This is surely one of Rome’s most spectacular hidden gems!
Cruise Through Trastevere
After descending from the stunning Aventine Hill, continue cruising through the charming streets of Rome from your beautiful, vintage vehicle. After zigzagging through the lively city, you’ll arrive in the idyllic neighborhood of Trastevere.
Admire vibrant boutiques and bustling trattorias while riding through narrow alleyways flanked by ivy-clad buildings. This is one of Rome’s most beautiful neighborhoods, so make sure you have your camera ready!
Admire the Views from Gianicolo Hill
Next, your guide will bring you to the magnificent Gianicolo Hill, which is located in the Western part of the city and is the second tallest hill in Rome. First, you’ll drive up to the Fontanone, which translates to “the big fountain.” This enormous fountain is located at the summit of Gianicolo, and is absolutely breathtaking.
From here, whiz over to the Terrazzo del Gianicolo for an absolutely jaw-dropping view of the entire city!
Admire Vatican City and the Mouth of Truth
After hopping back in your classic car, take in the sights as you ride down to Vatican City. Not only is this independent country home to the Pope, but it also boasts incredible art and architecture. After marveling at the impressive sights from Saint Peter’s Square, your knowledgeable guide has one more iconic spot to show you!
For your final stop on the tour, you’ll cruise over to the famous Bocca della Verità, or the Mouth of Truth. This marble mask rests along the wall of the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church, and legend states that it will bite the hand of any liar who dares to place their arm in its mouth.
This legendary site marks the end of your unforgettable tour through Rome, before being dropped off in via di San Giovanni in Laterano, though you’re free to continue exploring the captivating city by foot!

Fantastic
Don Cook
Andrea's tour was 11/10! My son and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. Andrea chose a mix of iconic and less "touristy" sites to stop at. It was an itinerary that only a true Roman would have planned (and Andrea is!) In addition to the sightseeing, which was fantastic, Andrea is also a great photographer and took care to take many beautiful photos of us at the sites we visited . And last, but obviously not least, is his car! My son is crazy about cars and the chance to spend a couple of hours in this piece of history that Andrea restored was a dream come true. Andrea is a great driver and there really is nothing like the freedom and pleasure of being driven around Rome by someone who knows the city so well. Andrea is a truly wonderful person and guide. If we were here longer, I would do it again!
Magical experience
Merritt Kellett
Such a magical experience to drive around Roma in this vintage car with the city lit up and sparkling! Andrea was an attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable host, with a love for his city. He was also very gracious when we accidentally left a personal item in the car, returning it to us immediately. I am so glad we booked this experience! Highly recommend!
