Tour Itinerary
The tour begins with a ride along the Forums of Rome, where the guide narrates the history of these ancient civic spaces. Guests have the opportunity to disembark and take photographs beside the ruins before continuing toward the Circus Maximus, the ancient chariot-racing venue that is open and free to visitors.
Positioned on the slopes of the Aventine Hill, this garden offers a sweeping panorama over the Circus Maximus and the Palatine remains. Its spectacular setting makes it one of the most visually compelling horticultural sites in the city.
Adjacent to the rose garden, the Orange Garden provides one of the most comprehensive overviews of Rome from a single vantage point. The guide leads guests to the famous keyhole of the Priory of the Knights of Malta, whose lock reveals a centuries-old secret framed by a perfectly trimmed hedge.
At one of Rome's most majestic fountains, guests pause to take in the panoramic scenery and raise a toast to their companion. Here, the traditional tiramisù and Italian coffee tasting takes place in a setting that balances grandeur with intimacy.
The journey concludes inside Villa Borghese, Rome's largest city park, whose layout evokes the shape of a heart. Guests are received at the historic Casina Valadier restaurant for a romantic aperitif featuring prawn meatballs with lime and ginger sauce, a heart-shaped club sandwich with salmon, an aphrodisiac tartlet with quail egg, truffle and asparagus, and a drink of the guest's choice from the menu.
