Full description
See the aqueducts, thermal baths, and baroque fountains of Rome on a 2.5-hour Segway tour along the Aqua Virgo. Completed by Marcus Agrippa in 19 BC, the Roman aqueduct was built to supply water to the Campus Martius.
Meet at the source of the Virgin Aqueduct (Aqua Virgo) and climb aboard your self-balancing electric bike. Then, follow the path of the aqueduct, gliding from fountain to fountain. Admire masterpieces by the great architects of Rome, such as the baroque Trevi Fountain. Go to the Spanish Steps to see the extraordinary fountain of a half-sunken ship called the ”Barcaccia” (“Ugly Boat”).
Admire the fountains of Piazza Navona, including Bernini’s Fountain of Four Rivers, the Fountain of the Moor, and the Fountain of Neptune. Take a sip of refreshing water from the Virgin Aqueduct, and see where it gushes into the extraordinary fountains of the “Eternal City.”
Discover hidden treasures, such as the Fountain of Turtles in the Jewish Ghetto, the Fontana delle Arti (Fountain of the Arts) in the Via Margutta, and even a Fountain of Wisdom.
