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.

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.

Must do while in Rome
A friend told me we HAD to do this while in Rome. Only being here for a few days, it was totally worth our time. Pietro and Claudio were great guides. I gave them a challenge of showing us Rome, but not spending time at the big tourists traps. We ended up having gelato at a local Roman family run business, and coffee at a hidden terrazzo and coffee bar, which overlooked ancient ruins and had views of the Colosseum. They still also managed ride through most of the big attractions and stop for us to take quick photos, too. Our 12yo and 10yo also had a great time on the back of the Vespa and in the carts. The carts also got plenty of attention, waves, and smiles from everyone we passed. They even made the onlookers happy! Winners all round.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re thrilled that your friend’s recommendation lived up to expectations and that you felt the experience was worth your time, especially during your short stay in Rome. 🇮🇹❤️

Sunset Vespa sidecar tour
Francesco was amazing! He took us on a 3 hour sunset tour on our last night in Rome and gave him a tough task because we had already seen most of the famous sites. He still managed to show us even more sites we had not seen, hit perfect photo ops and make it such a memorable last night! He was very kind, knowledgeable and fun to be with for 3 hours!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that your sunset tour with Francesco was such a memorable highlight for your last night in the Eternal City.

Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole cost?
+
Prices start at €89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome by Vespa Sidecar: Colosseum, Orange Garden &Aventine Keyhole start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
