About this activity

Join your tour leader in central Rome and enjoy an orientation session on your two-wheeled, electric, self-balancing Segway. You’ll also receive an iPod with an audio-visual overview of each stop, giving you interesting lowdowns on each sight as you go.

Once you’re comfortable on your Segway, set off into the streets of Rome’s beautiful historical center. See the Spanish Steps, Church of Sant’Ignazio and Campo de’ Fiori, and ride to Piazza Navona to gaze at Bernini’s sublime Fountain of the Four Rivers. Other highpoints include taking in stunning vistas over St Peter’s from a viewpoint, and a visit to the baroque Trevi Fountain to cast your good-luck coin.

At around 1pm, enjoy a leisurely 2 hour break for lunch at a local restaurant. Feast on typical Italian dishes such as bruschetta and pizza or pasta, all washed down with a complimentary glass of wine, mineral water and an espresso. See the Itinerary for a sample menu.

After lunch - you'll hop back on your segway for an express visit through the sights of Ancient Rome to glide past the Roman Forum, noting its crumbled buildings and learning about its history via your audio commentary.

Pass Palatine Hill and see Circus Maximus, once the site of chariot races. Continue to the Colosseum and take photos of the exterior of this vast arena that once rang with the noise of bloody gladiatorial contests.

When the time comes, ride back to the starting point where your tour concludes.

Please note: the order of the activities, as described above, are subject to change on the day of your tour.

I did the full day tour and especially enjoyed my morning segment and lunch! I was a little afraid to do this but the guides are patient and kind and it truly was a thrill to see Rome this way. It was very hot and I was so glad I wasn't just tramping around on my feet every day. I should mention that I was a solo traveler and over 60! There were a lot of young adults too. This tour is for everyone:

The previous night we also took a Night time Segway tour from this company. During the two part daytime tour we visited a couple of the same sites but was a totally different experience during the day. The whole day tour is broken up into three parts - a morning segway tour and an afternoon segway tour with lunch in-between at a local restaurant lunch was excellent - I highly recommend the lasagna. Each of our tours had a different Segway Guide. This allowed us to hear some different perspectives. Our morning tour consisted of a group of 8 and our afternoon was supposed to have 5 but the other two cancelled that morning so we basically had our own private tour which was wonderful. All tour guides make sure that each of the passengers feel safe on their segway machines. Taking a segway tour of Rome is the ONLY way to see everything the city has to offer. Zipping past the other tours in their walking groups really made us appreciate how much nicer and efficient this way of touring really is to see Rome.

It was a hot and crowded day in Rome, but we still enjoyed both parts of this Segway adventure. In the morning, Bruno showed us all kinds of sights. I think our favorite stops on the morning tour were the market in Campo del Fiori and tossing our coins in the Trevi Fountain. Bruno did an awesome job making sure that everyone was comfortable on the Segways and then describing many of our stops. There were 4 in the group, so his bilingual French / English explanations were detailed and informative. In addition, he pulled out Ipads at some of the stops for even more information. Flavio led our afternoon tour - 5 of us with German and English descriptions. He was a lot of fun to follow on a Segway. Our favorite stops on the afternoon tour Ancient Rome were the amazing overlooks - loved the one in the orange grove overlooking the dome of St. Peter's which got smaller the closer you got to it!

It's a bit late to write my review but....never too late! I joint this super fun and exciting Segway Tour on 4th of May. Before the tour, I just wondered if I could visited all those famous ancient attractions mentioned in the itinerary within several hours, but that's true and all the way riding on the Segway was so cool!! I forgot the name of our tour leader in the morning session but just remembered this handsome young guy is tall and gentle, and in the afternoon, we visited the best places of Rome with Flavio I hope my memory is correct! I wanted to thank them again and tell them that this Happy Tour is the most unforgettable memory in Rome to me.

It was good, but not great. Everything was so rushed that we didnt spend anytime. It was more of a drive by places. We stopped minimally at CERTAIN places to take photos. Tour guide was great, but the set up was poor. Many of the other people, including myself left the tour at the half way mark so we could better check out everything. I recommend finding something else.
