A cozy, cool and fun way to visit Rome.Join a Rome highlights tour in a more traditional way, with a scooter that is used in the everyday life of almost all Italians. Meet at the departure point, pick up your scooters and begin the tour. The first stop will be at the monumental Colosseum, the symbol of the ancient Roman world, one of the most visited attractions of the world. Then, continue toward Circus Maximus, where chariot races were held, to see the tracks where 180 thousand inflamed spectators could fervently incite their favorite heroes on the site of an ancient circus.
On the way to the Catacombs, you'll have the opportunity to admire the great ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. Cruise along the ancient Appian Way, between the ruins of numerous Roman tombs. Once you reach the Catacombs, you'll visit some of the 150 kilometers of underground tunnels and galleries used as cemeteries by Roman-era Christians. After the tour of the Catacombs, head toward Aventino Hill with the view of the sprawling Emperors Palace on Palatine Hill. Passing the Theatre of Marcellus, the tour will go though the most central square of Rome, the Piazza Venezia, or Venice Square, where you can admire the Monument of King Victor Emanuel II, credited for the unification of Italy.
Take a lunch break next to the spot of Julius Caesar’s assassination on the Ides of March, 44 B.C., now refuge to thousands of street-cats.
After the lunch break, continue on toward Piazza della Rotonda, where you can admire an architectural wonder and one of the best preserved monuments of the ancient Roman world, the Pantheon. Driving amongst the little cobblestoned streets, you will reach Piazza Navona, a square built on the site of the ancient stadium of Domitian. Afterward, will ride to the Quirinal Palace, official residence of the Italian President, originally built by Popes in the 1580’s as their splendid summer residence. Descend to the cascading waters of the Trevi Fountain, the grandest of Rome’s Baroque fountains, still fed by an ancient 19 B.C. Roman aqueduct and toss a coin into its gushing sprays to propitiate a sure return-visit to the Eternal City.
Continue with the scooters to see the Castle of the Holy Angel, or "Castel Sant’Angelo", on the Tiber River, originally commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress. From here you can see one of the largest churches of the world, St Peter’s Basilica, one of the most prominent works of Renaissance-era geniuses Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gianlorenzo Bernini. The last stop will be the Janiculum Hill, with its spectacular view overlooking the city.
Afterward, drive the scooters back for the final check at the end of your tour of Rome.
