Itinerary

Begin your Roman auto rickshaw adventure with convenient pickup at your hotel. Your guide will get you settled in the backseat of the Ape Calessino, an Italian-designed vehicle from the 1960s which is widely used in Asia under the name Tuk Tuk.

Zip through Rome's famously congested streets toward the Piazza Venezia to see one of Europe's largest monuments, the Vittoriano. See the Imperial Forum, then continue to the Colosseum to learn its fascinating, bloody history. Learn about the ancient Romans' obsession with 'otium' at the Bath of Caracalla, then travel on the ancient Appian Way.

Scale both Aventine and Janiculum Hills, see the famous Circus Maxiumus, and visit the Vatican. Stop for a caffè, a cappuccino, or a gelato. This private tour has a flexible itinerary and plenty of personal attention from your guide.

We had so much fun zipping around Rome with Ricardo. He was full of interesting information and we got to see some sights off the beaten track at our request. He answered all our questions and it was a great first day activity because after we had a great orientation of Rome.

The knowledge of our guide was amazing. Not only the information he provided but the way he answered all our questions. He made it so interesting especially seeing Rome from so many angles. He adapted the tour to take in something we wanted to look at too.

Amazing trip around the Ancient Rome to discover the Superb Roman Empire . The smallest angle never seen in the tourist guides and the magnificence of the famous well known Buildings like Colosseo and Terme di Caracalla among many others . The guide Mimmo very well prepared. The best way to have a great overview of Rome seen by a very funny Ape Calessino

100% empfehlenswert!! Just book it! It’s great!! 😊
