Segway Tour Through Rome
Across the world there have been a number of different types of tours. You can take food tours, walking tours, bus tours, boat tours, land and sea tours, duck tours, and now in Rome you can take a tour on a segway. Yes the item that has been used for all kinds of gags in the land of Hollywood is now one of the best ways to take a tour of Rome. Now don’t do this if you don’t like the idea of being stared at. There is a magnetism between people’s eyes and a segway, when there is a whole herd of them there is no way to not watch. It is not a bad thing however and it can be nice to feel a little bit like a celebrity with your own personal segway and tour guide to show you the city.
Leave your luxurious Rome hotel and find one of the segway stations around the city. They offer three hours on the segway, that come with a three hour segway tour, a personal guide who is well versed in languages, art and history. Your guide can tell you many things about the talking statues, the Vatican , and much more. It goes around all the most important areas of the city and brings you back in a loop so that you know where you are at the end. There is also no worries about looking like a fool on a vehicle that you don’t know how to drive because included in the tour is a thirty minute class on how to use and control the segway.
During the summer you will want to do this early in the morning, because it will be very hot by the afternoon. However, if you start around nine you will end just in time to explore the city again, after lunch at a beautiful outdoor Rome cafe .
