Rome Boat Experience is a Roman-based operator offering river cruises, hop-on hop-off boat services and guided walking tours along the Tiber in Rome, Lazio. The company provides seasonal boat operations and a variety of combined tickets that link river transport with museum entry, including Castel Sant'Angelo and the Ara Pacis. Travelers can choose standalone boat trips, 24-hour hop-on hop-off passes, one-way or roundtrip options, and guided tours focused on Trastevere, the Jewish Ghetto, baroque squares and fountains such as the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona.
The operator features themed offerings like an aperitivo sul battello prepared by chef Marco Mondini, riverfront lunches at Timo restaurant followed by a boat tour, and food tastings in Trastevere markets. Hop-on hop-off services include multilingual audioguides and frequent departures during the main season. Several combo tickets bundle access to museums such as the Musei Capitolini, Ara Pacis and Castel Sant'Angelo with boat rides for streamlined sightseeing. Additional practical services listed include deposito bagagli and RomaPass-compatible tickets.
Guided walking tours cover major monuments and hidden sites, including Piazza di Spagna, the Pantheon, via dei Coronari, the Stadio di Domiziano remains and the Fontana delle Tartarughe. The business also lists specialty experiences beyond Rome, such as a food tour at the Vucciria Market in Palermo. Available seasonal windows include river cruises from April to October for some products and April to November for hop-on hop-off service in 2025. All descriptions focus on combining river access, cultural visits and local gastronomy to help visitors navigate Rome’s attractions.
