My girlfriend and I did the Rome by Night Tour and we are 27 and 29 years old respectively. This was our first segway tour so we were not really sure what to expect. It didn't take long to get the hang of riding a segway though, and Max our tour guide made sure we were all comfortable on the segway and the training was simple, straight forward and efficient. I wouldn't be worried about riding a segway as Max told us how he once had a customer that went on the tour for her 80th Birthday and had no problems.

The tour was 79 euros and was 3.5 hours long and I definitely would recommend the Rome by Night Tour as Rome was such a pleasure to explore during the night. It was a little cold during the time we went, so it might be advisable to dress up a little warmer if you go on a cold day. Also a side note, we were worried that weather forecasts were saying there was a chance of rain, but it didn't. But if it did, I believe that they did provide ponchos. We were in a small group of 4 which was quite nice. It was a Friday night and it was very peaceful, I can imagine it being a bit harder to manoeuvre the segway at some of the more busier times. You spend a large majority on pedestrian routes so there is not much worry of traffic and feel very safe during the tour.

The actual tour was very well thought out. The highlight of the tour would of course be the Colosseum which is gorgeously lit up at night and ideal for a little night photography. I should also note that I wore my camera bag while on the segway tour without any problems, but Max also offered to carry my camera bag while riding the segway if I did have any problems so that was reassuring. There is also a small bag in front of the segway where you can put some of your belongings if you don't want to leave them behind at the office and a bottle of water is supplied in the bag too. There is also a toilet at the office if you need to go before or after the tour. Another highlight of the tour was Campidoglio (Rome's Capitol Hill) where you get beautiful views of the city at night in such a serene atmosphere. There were also quite a few small stops we made during the tour where Max would have a lot of interesting facts and stories and so we found the tour to be quite educational too.

Just like to mention a little about our tour guide Max, who was very friendly while remaining professional. My girlfriend also mentioned she was cold and he offered to lend her a jacket that we could return the next day so Rex Tours were very accommodating. We had a little bit of free time after the tour too so Max kindly spent some of his free time to recommend us a few more attractions, restaurants and cafes we could go to for the rest of our time in Rome.

In conclusion, it was definitely the highlight of our short time in Rome and I highly recommend it and would certainly do a day tour next time we are back in Rome.

if you want to check off the "must see" off of your list when in Rome this is the way to do it . We spent a fun 3h on our Segways exploring the city with incredible insights and knowledge only a local could relate. To boot I took my 74 year old mother and our guide Arturo was most sensitive to her abilities. He took his time to properly explain and introduce her to the vehicle and then followed up throughout the ride by sensing her getting nervous at intersections or passing through narrow passages. He would quickly grab the handle bar and she was safely guided through the situation without ever feeling incapable. This type of attention is truly only possible in smaller group tours with proper attention and care to each and every customer. I was utterly impressive with the client care and attention to detail and highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Arthur and Leo for this one of a kind experience!!!

My cousin and I had a blast on this tour with Max last Saturday morning. Rome is the perfect city to see by segway - we zipped over distances between the Forum, the Colosseum, and the Circus Maximus that take a long time to cover by foot, and also steamed full power up hills for a stunning view of the city (accompanied by a suitably reviving macchiato). Rex is an excellent operator to choose - unlike other companies, they have a policy of limiting group numbers (to around six, I believe) so that guests always receive a very personal and safe experience. Our guide Max was awesome: he is very informative, keeps the atmosphere fun and light, and knows just how to take the perfect photograph with your iPhone. Go Segway, go Rex!

Due to COVID we were lucky enough to be the only two on our tour. As we had both been to Rome before our guide, Arthur, asked us what we wanted to see. We said we had done the main tourist attractions we were more interested in hidden gems and good places for food and drink. Arthur did a fantastic job. Completely off script his encyclopaedic knowledge of the city shone through. He knows every crack in every cobble and which Roman emperor put it there! He was super engaging and friendly and gave us more tips than we will be able to fit in on this trip- we’ll just have to come again! The tour was a highlight of the holiday, for us. Thanks Arthur.

Our guide was funny and informative, and showed us everything we wanted to see. We could not have made a better choice of how to spend our day.

Spend a few hours with Rex tours very knowledgeable staff. Cover lots of ground and visit areas only accessible by bike or foot. This was the most enjoyable 3.5 hours. Quentin was our guide and his expertise on Roman history was worth every penny. This is s not to be missed experience !

We spent 3 days in Rome and one of our most memorable experiences was the Segway Tour with Chris from Rex Tours. We were a family of 4 adults with no experience riding a Segway so we were a bit nervous about this excursion. Chris was an outstanding instructor. He was patient, extremely positive, and put us at ease quickly. Even when we made mistakes, Chris made us feel like we did nothing wrong.
In a very short time, we felt very confident using the Segway and were riding in an out of all the piazzas and in the roads. Chris showed us many of the major Roman sights such as the Parthenon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Campo D’ Fiori, Piazza Navona, the Vatican City, etc. but also some other areas which we would not have visited on our own. We loved that aspect of the tour very much. Chris was extremely knowledgeable about Roman history and was also very engaging. Segways are a great way to sightsee in the hot temperatures of August because you can cover a lot of areas quickly. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Chris for a super fun and educational afternoon!!

We were in Rome with two of our sons when the rest of the world was visiting in early July! I wanted to try this tour as it is something I was considering recommending to clients (I am a travel agent) and what a winner it is! This is so much fun and Chris navigated the crowds with ease. I am totally uncoordinated and he had me feeling comfortable within minutes. He is passionate about this city and he covered the major sights and included information that was relevant and entertaining even to our 15 and 18 year old sons! He also included a couple of secret spots you would never get on a standard tour...I won't share them here - book this trip and find out - you won't be disappointed. I say it again - it's a winner - great value and lots of fun!

We have nothing but great things to say about our Rome by Night bike tour! We lucked out and ended up with a private tour, but they keep their groups to a max of 8 people so you’re sure to have a great experience. I’d recommend doing this early on in your trip, as it’s a great way to see the major sights of the city from the outside while getting a great overall feel for their proximity to one another. Davida was a fabulous guide and we enjoyed his tour very much! If possible, take advantage of the night tour option as this let’s you see the sights when they are mainly empty and beautifully lit up.
