Seven Hills of Rome Private Tuk Tuk Tour aboard the Ape Calessino
Discover the Eternal City from a unique perspective, one legendary hill at a time.
The Seven Hills of Rome Tuk Tuk Tour is a three-hour private journey through the most iconic and hidden corners of Rome, riding aboard the original Ape Calessino by Piaggio — Italy's most recognizable three-wheeled vehicle. A professional driver accompanies you exclusively, making this one of the most personal ways to explore the city's layered history.
From the grandeur of the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum to the fragrant Orange Garden on the Aventine Hill, the route connects monumental landmarks with quieter neighborhoods rarely seen on standard tours. The contrast between ancient ruins and lively contemporary streets gives the experience a depth that walking tours or bus excursions cannot replicate.
The tour crosses the bohemian Trastevere neighborhood before climbing to the Gianicolo Hill, where a panoramic view of Rome's rooftops and domes rewards every traveler with a photograph that captures the city in its full sweep. Each stop has been chosen to reflect both the well-known and the lesser-visited sides of Rome.
Tour Highlights
Ride past the Quirinal Palace, the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic and one of Rome's most significant institutional landmarks.
Stop at the Trevi Fountain, the most celebrated baroque fountain in the world, set within a dramatic architectural backdrop.
View the Colosseum and Imperial Forum from outside, taking in the monumental scale of ancient Rome's civic and entertainment heart.
Visit the Orange Garden on the Aventine Hill, a tranquil public park offering one of the most intimate and lesser-known views over the city.
Ascend to the Gianicolo Hill for a sweeping panoramic view of Rome, considered among the finest vantage points in the entire city.
Explore the Trastevere neighborhood, a historic district of medieval streets, ivy-covered buildings, and authentic Roman daily life.
Travel exclusively in a private Ape Calessino with a dedicated professional driver — the only fully Italian-made tuk tuk on Rome's roads.
Itinerary
The tour departs from Piazza della Repubblica, passing the Quirinal Palace — seat of Italy's presidency and a commanding example of Renaissance and Baroque architecture set atop one of Rome's seven hills.
The route continues to the Trevi Fountain before reaching Piazza Venezia, where the Vittoriano monument, the Venezia Palace, and the Campidoglio Hill form one of Rome's most dramatic civic ensembles.
The Ape Calessino circles the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum, then continues to the Circus Maximus and the Roses Garden — ancient sites seen in a single, seamless stretch of road.
A visit to the Orange Garden on the Aventine Hill reveals a peaceful terraced park with orange trees and a framed view of St. Peter's Basilica that many visitors to Rome never discover.
The tour crosses Trastevere's cobblestone lanes before ascending to the Gianicolo Hill, where the panoramic viewpoint offers a complete vista over Rome and the ideal location for a memorable souvenir photograph.
