Itinerary
Day 1:Rome, Italy
Although the magnificent city of Rome was not built in a day, guests on this segway tour will be able to see its glory in just a few hours. The day will begin after guests have been picked up from the specified departure location in the city. We will start with a brief orientation session during which we will learn how to drive and operate a segway. Then, we will set off into the city, stopping first at the Palatine Hill. Next, we will continue on our way, passing the incredible Circus Maximus before reaching the Aventine Hill (and the quaint orange grove at the summit). After this, we will glide down to the hill to reach the Church of Santa Maria of Cosmedin, where the remains of St. Valentine are kept. Later on, we will go to the Capitoline Hill, the Roman Forum, and finally, the Colosseum. Please see "Departure and Return" for more detailed information regarding pickup and drop-off times and locations.
