Tour Itinerary

1

Your tour begins near the Colosseum
Meet at Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano, 2, by the red bus stop opposite the Colosseum. Hop into your private tuk tuk and get ready to see Rome.
2

Drive past the Colosseum and Circus Maximus
Start by cruising by the Colosseum and nearby Ludus Magnus, where gladiators trained. Then roll toward Circus Maximus as your guide explains Palatine Hill and the emperors’ seat of power.
3

Climb Aventine Hill for the Orange Garden
Next, you head up Aventine Hill for a quieter, greener Rome. Walk into the Orange Garden for skyline views, then step into Santa Sabina Basilica to see its early Christian beauty and ancient wooden door.
4

Stop at the Mouth of Truth and look beyond it
Pause at Bocca della Verità for the classic photo, then turn around for the real surprise. Spot two ancient temples, including the round Temple of Hercules, and hear why this corner preserves Rome’s oldest layers.
5

Enter the Jewish Ghetto for living history
Then you glide into the Jewish Ghetto, where the city’s story turns personal. Pass Portico d’Ottavia and the Turtle Fountain, and learn what “ghetto” meant here and why this neighborhood still feels distinct.
6

See Piazza Navona and the Pantheon nearby
Next, you swing through Piazza Navona to study its stadium-shaped design and Bernini’s Four Rivers Fountain. A short ride later, you stop at the Pantheon and unpack why its dome still feels impossible.
7

Ride up Gianicolo Hill and through Trastevere
After that, climb Gianicolo Hill for Garibaldi’s statue and a sweep of rooftops that makes Rome click into place. Then drift into Trastevere, “across the Tiber,” for a glimpse of the city’s most lived-in streets.
8

Taste your way through Monte Testaccio’s cave
Now it’s time to treat your tastebuds in Monte Testaccio, an artificial hill built from ancient potsherds. Step into a cave and taste five cheeses, five cured meats, local bread, and wine aged right here.
9

Your tour ends at the Pyramid of Cestius
Finally, you arrive at the Pyramid of Cestius, where the Aurelian Walls and old roads collide. End with a last photo and an easy handoff to the Metro and the rest of your Rome plans.
