Sightseeing Tour in Rome

The main difficulty of a family trip to Rome is the queues. The five-hour programme with a bike and skip-the-line entry to the Colosseum costs 140 dollars and removes exactly that problem: entry is timed and there is no waiting outside. The eight-hour version with lunch and a golf cart costs 222 dollars, but the day there is dense and does not suit every age.

The flagship of the section is a ride in a vintage Fiat 500 with a driver, pizza and ice cream: three hours at 435 dollars, the most expensive entry. The format is simple — a car, stops for food, no walking. A similar logic comes from a private golf cart through the historic centre with a local driver, three hours at 163 dollars: the children sit and do not tire of the cobbles.

The bike routes all cost the same, 81 dollars each. The three-hour highlights run with a view of the Colosseum, the evening one with the sunset and the four-hour route along the Appian Way through the park of the aqueducts differ in time of day and surface. The five-hour deluxe with the catacombs and lunch costs 105. An electric motor settles the climbs, but the age limits are stated on the pages and are worth checking before booking.
