Vittoriano Combo Tour: Tuk Tuk Ride Through Rome and Panoramic Lift at Il Vittoriano
Discover the eternal city from a red Ape Calessino and ascend to the rooftop of Italy's most iconic national monument.
The Vittoriano Combo Tour combines an intimate tuk tuk journey through Rome's most storied neighborhoods with a skip-the-line entrance and panoramic lift ticket to Il Vittoriano, giving travelers a complete portrait of the city in a single six-hour experience.
The tour opens aboard a classic red Ape Calessino departing from Piazza della Repubblica, weaving through layers of Roman history that range from the Circus Maximus and Aventine Hill to the grandeur of Trastevere and the commanding viewpoint of the Gianicolo. A mid-tour stop at a bar frequented by local Romans — not tourist crowds — offers a genuine taste of everyday life in the city.
The second chapter of the day unfolds on foot inside Il Vittoriano, the vast marble monument erected in honor of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of a unified Italy. Completed in 1911, the complex later became home to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, making it a living site of national memory. A digital audioguide available in seven languages accompanies the visit, and a panoramic lift carries visitors to the summit terrace for unobstructed views over the Roman roofscape.

Itinerary
The Ape Calessino departs from in front of Hotel Naiadi at Piazza della Repubblica. The route passes the Quirinal Palace, the official residence of Italy's president, before arriving at the Trevi Fountain.
The tour continues south toward the Circus Maximus, the ancient chariot-racing venue, and then climbs Aventine Hill to the Garden of Orange Trees and its celebrated panorama over the city.
Crossing into the Trastevere neighborhood, the calessino winds through cobblestone streets before reaching the Fontanone di Acqua Paola and the monument to Garibaldi atop the Gianicolo. A stop at a local bar offers time to eat, drink, and use facilities.
The tuk tuk portion concludes at Piazza Venezia, with views of the Campidoglio Hill and the Imperial Forum. The Colosseum is observed from the outside as the route passes through this ancient core of the city.
The final segment is a guided visit inside Il Vittoriano, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Risorgimento museum, and the Palazzo Venezia museum. The panoramic lift carries visitors to the Sommoportico terrace at the top of the monument.
