Peer Through the Aventine Keyhole

Rome and its Seven Hills

Traversing the captivating landscape of Rome, your tuk tuk tour will guide you to some of the renowned seven hills upon which this majestic city was built.

Rome is known as the city of seven hills: Aventino, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, and Viminal, each bearing witness to the rise and fall of empires, the birth of legends, and the evolution of civilization. The Aventine, with its panoramic views and hidden gems, offers a serene escape within the bustling city, while your next stop symbolizes Rome's political power and religious significance.

Climb back onto your tuk tuk and continue to absorb the sights as you're chauffeured to your next stop, after a delicious stop.

Pause for Coffee & Tiramisu

Take a break from zipping through the streets of Rome and refuel the Italian way. Your guide will escort you to a decadent tasting of authentic, Italian tiramisu. Savor every bite as you indulge in this traditional delicacy. Of course, accompany your treat with a delicious coffee.

Once you’re properly caffeinated, continue on to your next stop of the tour.

View the Roman Forum from Capitoline Hill

Whiz through charming Roman neighborhoods on your way up to Capitoline Hill, home to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. One of the historic Seven Hills of Rome, Capitol Hill once represented the epicenter of the Roman Empire and housed some of the city’s most significant temples. From the summit, admire a captivating view of the Roman Forum, adorned with ancient ruins of essential government buildings.

From the top of the hill, admire a captivating view of the Roman Forum, brimming with ancient ruins of important government buildings.

Esquilino Hill and Santa Maria Maggiore

As your tuk tuk tour winds through the historic heart of Rome, we will reach the Esquiline Hill. With its diverse neighborhoods and the grand Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, this hill reflects the city's vibrant and multicultural essence.

Here, against the backdrop of the sprawling metropolis, we'll pause to admire the magnificent Basilica from the outside, a masterpiece of Roman architecture, testifying to both the city's religious heritage and its artistic splendor.

Feel the cobblestone streets beneath your feet as you explore the surroundings, taking in breathtaking views before boarding your tuk tuk for the final stretch of today's journey.
