Rome Segway Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

This is great fun! My wife and I are 62 years old and we felt like kids on the Segway! Our guide was Martina, very knowledgeable about all the tour stops and a delight to be with! My wife and I were fortunate to be the only two members of her tour and she gave us first class treatment! We teased her about having to take the "old people"! Training on the Segway takes about 15 minutes and off you go! The tour is 3 hours and takes in the ancient ruins of Rome and some other interesting stops. If you had to walk the tour route it would take us "old people" a day and half! This is a terrific tour and a great experience to be out in mainstream Rome traffic after only 15 minutes in the training ring!
This would be an excellent tour for families with older children and grandparents. I would thing a 10 year old would probably outperform their parents in short order! The tour started right on time, and our guide was fantastic. They have headsets and an audio system for each person and re-creations on an Ipad of the locations that you visit so that you can get an idea of what they may have looked like years ago! Great value for the price. My wife and I loved the tour! Just do it!

Catacombs and Roman Countryside Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

This is a good event! The tour left on time and ended on time. Our guide was very personable and extremely well versed in the history of the catacombs and Rome in general. Our transportation was very nice and comfortable with air-conditioning and an audio system that was clearly heard in the back. There were other events in our itinerary that I thought were a better value for the money, but that is my own opinion. The tour group more than met their obligations and we had a pleasant and informative experience.
