See the sights of Rome in a unique and fun way on a Segway personal transporter. Your 3-hour small-group tour begins at Piazzale Flaminio right inside the entry gates to Villa Borghese, where you’ll have the opportunity to get comfortable with your futuristic vehicle. Head out with your guide on a route that takes you to see the major highlights of the city's historic center, from the monuments of Ancient Rome to those of the Roman Theatrical Baroque. Cruise by iconic monuments, including the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and the Colosseum. Traveling by Segway means that you can cover longer distances in comfort than is possible on foot. The tour is perfect for families, first-time visitors to the Eternal City, and also experienced travelers who wish to enjoy Rome in a different way.

The Trastevere neighborhood offers a pleasant diversion from the heavily touristed historic center of Rome. It is largely residential, and characterized by narrow, cobbled streets, medieval-era structures, and a large university student population. As you explore Trastevere on this 3-hour tour you’ll find an impressive selection of restaurants, bars, and cafés that are frequented by locals. Explore the boutiques and studios for some unique gifts. Trastevere literally means beyond the Tiber, and it was originally connected to the main city of Rome by a tiny wooden bridge. Immigrants, mainly Jews and Syrians, arrived from the East and settled in the area. The center of public life in the neigbhorhood is the Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere, a large square outside of the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the city's oldest churches and one of the most visited in Rome. Visit the site of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, which is located near the Tiber in an area surrounded by today's Via del Portico d'Ottavia, Lungotevere dei Cenci, Via del Progresso, and Via di Santa Maria del Pianto. In Italian, the ghetto was called Serraglio delli Ebrei, which mean the enclosure of the Jews. See the Synagogue of Rome in what is today a charming area, known for its restaurants and some of the best food in Rome.
