What to expect

Start with a thorough equipment briefing to get comfortable on the Segway—instructors take time ensuring everyone's confident before the tour begins. Once rolling, you'll glide up and down Rome's famous seven hills, stopping at key monuments and lesser-known archaeological spots. Your guide ties these locations into Rome's arc from republic to empire. The pace is steady rather than rushed, allowing you to absorb both grand structures and the texture of neighbourhoods connecting them. Expect a mix of bustling areas and quieter backstreets.
