Beginning in the heart of Roma’s historic core, guests glide past architectural marvels and under the watchful eyes of centuries-old ruins, each turn steeped in millennia of history. The tour pauses at the Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) on Aventine Hill, an understated green haven offering some of Rome’s best sunset panoramas, where you can sip an Aperol Spritz and soak in a moment of quiet sophistication.

Part sightseeing, part cultural immersion, this journey also highlights Rome’s culinary delights with a stop for authentic gelato from a traditional Roman gelateria — a perfect counterbalance to the thrill of the ride.
