Rome Historic Center Night Segway Tour with Virtual Reality Experience
Discover the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and Trevi Fountain on two wheels with an expert licensed guide
If you've already seen Rome by day, this ride shows it in a whole new light. Nights are when the crowds thin and the monuments glow. You'll glide through the historic center on a Segway, from the domed Pantheon to Bernini's fountains in Piazza Navona, then on to the Spanish Steps. A licensed local guide fills in the history while a virtual reality experience rebuilds the ancient city around you. For a small-group night tour, nothing beats seeing the Trevi Fountain lit up from two wheels.

Tour Itinerary

1
Your tour begins in central Rome
Meet your guide at the office on Via dei Delfini, about a 5-minute walk from Piazza Venezia. After a hands-on training session and safety briefing, you'll hop on your Segway and roll into the Roman night. -
2
Glide past the ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina
Roll into Largo di Torre Argentina, a sunken square of Republican-era temples lit against the dark. This is where Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and stray cats now prowl the ancient ruins below. -
3
Pause before the mighty Pantheon
Next, pause before the Pantheon, the best-preserved monument of ancient Rome, built around 126 AD with a soaring domed roof and open oculus. Along the way, a virtual reality experience reveals the ancient city. -
4
Take in the fountains of Piazza Navona
Then glide into Piazza Navona, a baroque square shaped like the ancient stadium of Domitian that once staged chariot races. Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers glows at its center, framed by grand palazzi. -
5
Cruise past the Temple of Hadrian and Montecitorio
Cruise through Piazza di Pietra, where 11 towering columns of the Temple of Hadrian survive in a later façade. Nearby stand Palazzo Montecitorio, seat of Italy's parliament, and the Column of Marcus Aurelius. -
6
Admire the Spanish Steps
Pause at the foot of the Spanish Steps, a sweeping stairway of 135 steps built in 1725. The travertine flight climbs from the lively Piazza di Spagna to the twin-towered Trinità dei Monti church above. -
7
Behold the iconic Trevi Fountain
Finally, stop at the Trevi Fountain, the baroque masterpiece completed in 1762 and fed by an ancient Roman aqueduct. Tradition claims that tossing a coin over your shoulder into the turquoise water ensures you return to Rome. -
8
Your tour ends back where you started
By the time you roll back to the office on Via dei Delfini, you'll have seen Rome's landmarks lit against the night sky. Hand over your Segway near Piazza Venezia and step off with the city still glowing.

Customer Reviews
We arrived early. Waited 45 minutes and no one showed up. The Roman guy is rescheduling us for tomorrow so I’ll let you know how it goes! We were very disappointed last night
I debated between the day and night tour. I am really glad we chose night time. Rome definitely looks different at night and it is much cooler than the day. Our guide was very informative and answered all of our questions. She recommended an amazing restaurant (Ivo) that ended up being one of our favorites. Only improvement I would make… I wish it was longer 😁
Wonderful tour, highly recommend!!
