Description:

Dreaming of Rome's quintessential alleyways and piazzas? Then you have already imagined a real street in Trastevere. This “quartiere” of winding pathways with its brightly colored apartments and bustling piazzas is pure magic. It has retained its local charm for hundreds of years.

Aboard a trusty Segway, roll through Trastevere's famous squares: Trilussa, Santa Maria, and even Piazza San Cosimato, home of the neighborhood market where locals barter prices for fruits, vegetables, and other goods. Trastevere is a pedestrian haven, making this Segway ride particularly take a breaking.

Next, head up to the top of Trastevere's hill: the Gianicolo (Janiculum) for stunning views. Here, you visit the fountain dell'acqua Paola, a stunning Baroque monumental fountain constructed in 1612. Your tour is perfectly timed to catch a unique 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 time.

At each stop, you also enjoy an audio-visual presentation on a personal iPod. On your way back to the starting point, catch a glimpse of Tiberina Island and the Colosseum. For lunch, sit at a handpicked restaurant where you can enjoy typical Roman fare.
