Rome, the Eternal City, is turning 80, and to mark this milestone, Emma Cook embarked on a thrilling Vespa tour of the Italian capital. The tour, which took her through the city's historic centre, allowed her to recapture the magic of Audrey Hepburn's iconic 1953 film Roman Holiday.
The tour, which cost £80 per person for a half-day ride, took Emma through some of Rome's most famous landmarks, including the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. With the wind in her hair and the sun on her face, Emma felt like a true Roman Holiday starlet.
