Description

Dreaming of your trip you Rome, you may have imagined rustic, colorful palazzi, the wash out on a line to dry and balconies oveflowing with flowers overlooking cobblestone alleyways. You'll be happy to know many streets like this do exist in Rome - and you can find endless amounts of them in the old working-class quarter of Trastevere. Located just on the other side of the Tevere (Tiber) river from Rome's historic heart - this charming, mostly pedestrian  neighborhood has held tight to tradition and you'll find many bustling cafè's, piazzas and artisan shops. Explore this authentic slice of Roman life with us on a 3.5 hour tour of the area's highlights!

Like all of our Rome Segway tours, this experience kicks off and ends at our convenient Colosseum location. Here you'll receive a 30-minute Segway training & safety session with your local expert Tour Leader. You'll be blown away by how intuitive this unique machines are to use!

After a short glide, we'll reach Piazza Trilussa - Trastevere's main square where locals and travelers alike meet. We'll cover all of Trastevere's highlights - from Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere with its gorgeous basilica and Piazza San Cosimato where the neighborhood's local market can be found. Most streets in this area are closed to cars - making it a safe haven for pedestrians and Segway riders. 

From the main Trastevere area, we'll make the climb up her hill: the Janiculum (Gianicolo) which offers a panoramic view over the city of Rome below. We'll make it just in time to witness a 400 year old Rome tradition. At 12 noon each day, a cannon is fired to signal the time. Many years ago, this was the cue for Rome's many churches to begin ringing their bells. On the way down, we'll even catch of a glimpse of the famous "Acqua Paola" fountain.

Heading back in the direction of the Colosseum, spot L'isola Tiberina - a miniscule island that divides the waters of the Tiber river. Today, the island is home to a historic hospital where many of Rome's children are born. Once we reach the office, we'll bring you to our favorite local lunch spot where you will enjoy a mean of Roman specialties -- all included. 

At the start of your tour you'll be given a personal iPod which contains an audio-visual presentation for each famous sight you'll encounter on this Trastevere private segway tour. 

If you are looking to experience the historic local side of Rome - our Private Trastevere Segway tour is the perfect choice.  All tours depart from and end at our office near the Colosseum where a bathroom, free Wifi, water and caffé are available to all of our guests.
