You will be taught about the city by a highly knowledgeable guide, combining an educative experience with the fun of riding a Segway.

Play Golf in Rome
Make your choice from a great selection of Golf Courses that surround Rome. From the Archi di Claudio which is surrounded by ancient Roman aqueducts, to the Fioranello, one of the oldest courses with views of St Peter’s Dome, to the Castelgandolfo which hosted the Roma masters in 1993 and many other courses you can choose the club where you want to spend your day.

Appian Way 6 hour bike tour
This tour will give you an insight into ancient Roman culture and architecture. You will also be astounded by the excellent condition of this Roman road, which was inaugurated in 312BC by Appius Claudius.

Stops along the way include the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch or Drusus, the Porta Sebastian and the Catacombs of San Castillo, not forgetting the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella and the Villa dei Quintili.
Italian Football: Reserve AS Roma Tickets
For the football fans: see AS Roma in their home stadium! Be prepared for an unforgettable show of Italian football at its best. It’s even possible to grab hold of some premium seats if you order early. Enjoy a tour of the stadium before the game, then sit or stand or jump up and down when you get caught up in the excitement of this amazing game.
Discover Italian Culture: Private walking tour in Rome
You will be taken on a private half-day walking tour of Monti near the Colosseum and the ancient Roman Forum where you will see beautiful little churches and art shops and cafes.
