Rome was not built in a day but you can see its glory in just a few hours. Ancient Rome will take shape before your eyes as your Segway brings you up and down the city’s famous hills. An orientation session before the tour begins and your tour guide will make sure you know all about riding a Segway. You will not miss a thing on your journey.
Look out for the Palatine Hill, while our tour guide explains where legend says Romulus and Remus founded Rome and imagine how hills and fields turned into the Eternal City. You will pass by the incredible Circus Maximus on your way to the Aventine Hill and the Orange Grove. Following this, you will glide down to view the Ancient church of Santa Maria of Cosmedin where the remains of San Valentino (Valentine’s day) are kept.
