Segway Tours in Rome

  To get our bearings in Rome, we (two adults, two teenagers) spent our first morning with Ali from Segway Fun Rome (SFR) and we were able to spend a little... read more time at many locations and decide where we wanted to come back for a more thorough tour.

We met him at the SFR office - where they we collected equipment, water bottles, and used the restroom before departing. We talked through what we wanted to see - we told him where we already had tours scheduled, and he took us to sites not yet on our agenda so we could determine our interest in returning.

Ali gave us each individual instruction to make sure we were comfortable on the Segway - loading/unloading, starting, stopping, turning in place, backing up, and going full-throttle.

From there we took off to see all of the typical sites you think of in Rome, passing all of the walking tours, weaving through small streets and alleys. When we'd approach a venue with a crowd of tourists (e.g. Trevi Fountain & Pantheon), Ali waited with the Segways while we walked around the sites.

Doing a lap around the Colosseum and through Circus Maximus was surreal.

Ali took us to some sites we otherwise would not have visited, like the Orange Garden, for some great views and a chance to see things we might have missed.

Bottom line - this was well worth the time and expense. In a half-day we were able to see what would have taken 2-3 days by any other means, and our family could decide where to invest our time.

  The night segway tour with Ali was beyond incredible. He helped us all get comfortable and made learning how to use the segway fun, easy and enjoyable. It was my... read more boyfriends birthday the following day and Ali sang in Italian in his beautiful opera voice “Happy Birthday.” Ali was very knowledgable and answered all questions. Riding through Rome on the segways was so awesome. Loved this tour!

  Thank you for your nice review! We hope to see you again!

  Family of 3 (2 adults & 14 year old) first time riders. Jose was awesome! We had a blast!! The was our favorite tour.

  This was amazing night tour with our guide Ali, he made is simple to understand the sagway functions and did a outstanding job one getting us around. You will not... read more be disappointed with this tour. I would definitely do this again but for longer if I could. Thanks Ali....

  My family has never ridden a Segway before, my 13 year old son was up for going but my wife and I we were hesitant to give it go but... read more we should not have been. Ali gave us an incredible tour. The whole family had so much fun and got to see a lot of Rome (you get to stop and look around for example we went into the Pantheon) in just 3 hours. It’s really a must do if you have limited time like we did. My only advice is try to do it private if you can. One person in our group was slow and Ali was amazing in helping her but despite his heroic efforts we were slowed just a bit. Ali was also really helpful in taking pictures and customizing the tour. Also it was a bit challenging to find the shop as we were expecting the Segways to be in the street but they were actually kept in a small storefront.
