If you ever fantasized about what a classic alleyway or piazza in Rome should look like, you have already pictured a street in Trastevere. This magical, medieval labyrinth of winding streets with its colorful palazzi and lively squares has maintained its small-neighborhood charm for centuries. Today, Trastevere is the go-to spot for locals for a pleasant evening out among friends at the many wonderful bars, café’s and restaurants lining the picturesque streets. Join us and experience Rome from a local’s point of view on our Trastevere Segway Tour including a typical Roman lunch.
Your tour departs from our office, conveniently located a short walk from the Colosseum. You’ll enjoy a brief and easy training as you discover just how easy it is to learn to ride a Segway!
Soon we’ll find ourselves in the heart of Trastevere. Aboard our Segways, we’ll explore the area’s characteristic alleyways and pass through the famous squares or piazzas Trilussa, Santa Maria in Trastevere and even Piazza San Cosimato, home of Trastevere’s local open-air market. The area is a pedestrian paradise and most of the areas we’ll visit have been closed off to traffic, making our Segway ride particularly pleasant. We’ll see locals going about their daily lives, crowds of friends meeting up in the piazzas, laundry strung up on lines hanging over alleys, and neighbors calling to each other from their windows.
After we’ve had time to soak up the festive atmosphere of Trastevere, we’ll head up to the top of her hill: the Gianicolo (Janiculum). This is the second tallest of Rome’s many hills; from here, the panorama over the city below is simply stunning. With ample time to enjoy the view, we’ll visit Fountain dell’acqua Paola, an impressive monumental Baroque fountain dating back to 1612. Our itinerary has also been perfectly timed to catch a Janiculum ritual that dates back to 1847: daily at noon, a cannon shot is fired in the direction of the Tiber river to signal the exact time.
On our way back to our office, we’ll catch a glimpse of Tiberina Island and the Colosseum before heading to lunch. We have handpicked a restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a typical Roman meal.
At each stop you’ll enjoy a presentation on a personal iPod, which you’ll be provided with at the beginning of the tour. You’ll discover fascinating facts and curiosities about each of the spots you’ll visit in a modern and entertaining audio-visual presentation.
If you want to visit Rome’s most quintessential quartiere – we’re sure you’ll love our eco-friendly Trastevere Segway Tour! You’ll cover more ground and see more without the effort it would take the cover the same route on foot. 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.
