WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Segway Roma
We were the first to introduce the Segway to Italy and develop the organised tour formula; we employ specially-trained, expert guides who will show you all the secret corners and mysteries of Rome. All that, and you get to explore the capital city on a speedy, convenient and eco-friendly means of transport. Microsoft, Coca-Cola e Ferrarelle have all taken Segway Roma tours; come and find out more at one of our rental points!
2. Via del Corso
The Via del Corso is a main street in the historical centre of Rome. It is straight in an area otherwise characterized by narrow meandering alleys and small piazzas. Considered a wide street in ancient times, the Corso is approximately 10 metres wide, and it only has room for two lanes of traffic and two narrow sidewalks. The northern portion of the street is a pedestrian area. The length of the street is roughly 1.5 kilometres.
3. Basilica Parrochiale San Lorenzo in Lucina
The name/topnym of the square and the church is quite uncertain. For many years it has been believed that Lucina was a Roman matron, full of mercy, who founded her home following the ancient custom of certain Patrician residences of ‘ecclesia domestica’. That means the private house was dedicated to the religious worship, instead of in a public basilica. Afterwords Lucina donated her house to the Roman Church, which thus became the first foundation of the future church of San Lorenzo.
4. Campo Marzio
Campo Marzio is the IV rione of Rome, which covers a smaller section of the area of the ancient Campus Martius. Located in Municipio I, the logo of this rione is a silver crescent on a blue background.
5. Pantheon
The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down.
6. Area Sacra di Largo Argentina
Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, with four Roman Republican temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is in the ancient Campus Martius. The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which takes its name from the city of Strasbourg whose Latin name was Argentoratum. In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as "Argentinus", built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.
7. Roman Ghetto
The Roman Ghetto or Ghetto of Rome was a Jewish ghetto established in 1555 in the Rione Sant'Angelo, in Rome, Italy, in the area surrounded by present-day Via del Portico d'Ottavia, Lungotevere dei Cenci, Via del Progresso and Via di Santa Maria del Pianto, close to the River Tiber and the Theatre of Marcellus. With the exception of brief periods under Napoleon from 1808 to 1815 and under the Roman Republics of 1798–99 and 1849, the ghetto of Rome was controlled by the papacy until the capture of Rome in 1870.
8. Teatro di Marcello
The Theatre of Marcellus is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, Italy, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song. Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before its construction could begin; the theatre was advanced enough by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus, named after his nephew Marcus Claudius Marcellus who had died in 23 BC.
9. Bocca della Verita
The Mouth of Truth is a marble mask in Rome, Italy, which stands against the left wall of the portico of the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church, at the Piazza della Bocca della Verità, the site of the ancient Forum Boarium (the ancient cattle market). It attracts visitors who audaciously stick their hand in the mouth.
10. Circus Maximus
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue located in Rome, Italy. Situated in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire. It measured 621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width and could accommodate over 150,000 spectators. In its fully developed form, it became the model for circuses throughout the Roman Empire. The site is now a public park.
11. Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
12. Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II
The Victor Emmanuel II National Monument or Vittoriano, called Altare della Patria, is a national monument built in honour of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. It is currently managed by the Polo Museale del Lazio and is owned by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities.
13. Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini and several others. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain has appeared in several notable films, including Roman Holiday, Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, the eponymous Three Coins in the Fountain, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Sabrina Goes to Rome.
14. Piazza di Spagna
Piazza di Spagna, at the bottom of the Spanish Steps, is one of the most famous squares in Rome (Italy). It owes its name to the Palazzo di Spagna, seat of the Embassy of Spain to the Holy See. Nearby is the famed Column of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
15. Spanish Steps
The Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top. The monumental stairway of 135 steps (the slightly elevated drainage system is often mistaken for the first step) was built with French diplomat Étienne Gueffier's bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1723–1725, linking the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France – located above – and the Bourbon Spanish Embassy to the Holy See – located below – in Palazzo Monaldeschi. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
16. Via Margutta
Via Margutta is a narrow street in the centre of Rome, near Piazza del Popolo, accessible from Via del Babuino in the ancient Campo Marzio neighborhood also known as "the foreigner's quarter". Mount Pincio is nearby. Via Margutta originally was home to modest craftsmen, workshops and stables, but now hosts many art galleries and fashionable restaurants.
17. Piazza del Popolo
Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian) after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name.

We had so much fun in this tour! It is a fabulous way to see a lot of Rome in a few hours and get a lay of the land. We met Ahmed in Piazza Del Popolo across from the Rosati restaurant where he gave excellent instructions on how to operate the Segways and made sure we were comfortable before proceeding with the tour. Ahmed is a very experienced guide, is very knowledgeable on all of the Roman sites and has a great sense of humor. We had an absolute blast and highly recommend this tour! Saves your feet from many kilometers of walking too. Thank you, Ahmed for a great tour!

We booked this Segway tour through Viator before our trip and it ended up being the best part of our holiday. Our tour guide Ahmed was fabulous - so friendly and knowledgable about all the main landmarks in Rome which we were able to see in just 3 hours thanks to the Segways. Zipping our way through the streets of Rome was so much fun (and saved our feet too!). Ahmed knows Rome incredibly well and kept us safe the whole time while remaining respectful to the locals and other travellers. Cannot recommend this tour enough and we will be booking another one when we next return to Rome!

Doing the segway tour was the best way to see Rome. There was no way we could have walked and got to see everything we did on the segway. I thought there was no way I was going to be able to "drive" the segway but Ahmed made it very easy. There was only 4 people in group. I would definitely do this segway tour again.

We met Ahmed at the designated spot and discovered that it would only be the guide and the two of us on the tour - a private tour! This was awesome as it is the first Segway experience we have ever had with only the two of us. Ahmed did a great job of safely guiding us through the city and stopping at points of interest that we asked about as well as those on the tour. It was very nice to have his whole attention. We rode all over the city and saw Trevi fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Coliseum, and so many other places. The end of the tour was through a lovely garden area where we were able to see from a hill all of the places we visited that day. What an amazing way to see the city. I am so glad we didn’t have to walk that whole way.
