Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

March 16, 2022 Flossie Demartino

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

The owner is great and explains everything very well. Make sure you bring your International Driving Permit, got it at AAA in America, $20.00 good for a year. Makes things much easier with renting any type of vehicle. This is the place to go right next to the Colosseum. The Vespa was in excellent condition and ran beautifully. My daughter got to experience Rome the way I did when I lived there. Unforgettable!!

Great way of seeing Rome, because you're outside rather than inside a vehicle, you can hear and smell everything as well as see it. You can also get closer to things than you would be able to in a car ... it was great - and our host / driver Greg really knew his stuff

I was blown away by the price, only costing £25 for 24 hours. Unfortunately I arrived to late so missed the 125 (book online before) but the 50cc was more then adaquate with a pillian passanger the whole time. I strongly recommend this place and you soon get used to the roman roads. Happy customer

All of the experience was breathtaking. The whole park is amazing and very well kept. The guide was very good at not annoying my children that went through a three and a half hour guided tour! Luckily the weather was good and not too warm. This helped a lot. The park is full of shaded areas and water fountains anyway. Recommended tour.

Was such great fun for the girls, the games were adapted for 12 year olds and they loved it. They came out enthusiastic! The owner and managers were very good and supportive. They watch and monitor from a screen and intervene only if they see the kids can’t move forward. So they weren’t able to finish or solve the problem, meaning prevent a nuclear bomb from exploding. Was fun! Recommend for birthday parties for groups of 8-10, so they can be playing the same game in two separate rooms and compete.

Entertaining a group of teenagers in Rome is not simple. My daughter's 14th birthday was a success thanks to Foxtrail. Her idea was to have a treasure hunt organized by Mom. Even if there is no treasure at the end, the trail and resolving the riddles made the kids be engaged at all times and kept them active and excited to continue. Our guide was fantastic. There were 3 groups and he remained with one but was available always for the other groups to call and ask for guidance. He was great! Great experience, would do it again anytime. I would however, maybe choose the shorter version. It was the two adults that accompanied the other two groups that ended up exhausted, more than the kids. :)
