My husband and I had a city break in Rome and he booked us the Segway tour, as he had done it once, many years ago. I was slightly dubious, having some issues with my joints, but I’m so happy to report, it was absolutely amazing! Matt, the owner of the company, who also does cycle tours around Rome, was brilliant. There were only three of us on the tour, along with Matt and his colleague. A training session in a beautiful little palazzo, and we were off! Matt is, not only incredibly knowledgeable about his city, but spoke with great passion and love for Rome. We visited, among many other sites, the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the Roman Forum. We even had the opportunity to have a virtual reality tour of the Colosseum and Circus Maximus, as they would have been in ancient times. A real wow factor! We had a lot of laughs during our 3 hour tour, the time just flew past. Thank you Matt, we thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend Fat Tire tours as a way to see some of the major sites in Rome.

So much fun and so informative! A great way to see the city… and segways are just soooo much fun! Loved the commentary from our guide on the sites and the context in Roman and Italian history.

Matt was our tour guide and he was amazing. Super informative and very helpful. He made sure we got where we needed to safely. He had a good sense of humour that kept you intrigued the entire tour.

Highly recommended, 14 Nov 2023 - an excellent way to see loads and then decide what we wanted to go back and explore at a later date, the 3 hours flew past as it was so much fun and we felt so safe. My son and I booked this tour and were lucky enough to be the only ones on it so we had a private tour of Ancient Rome and the Jewish Quarter (our choice) and our guide, ARVIN, was EXCELLENT - I don't think we could've asked for a friendlier or more knowledgeable guide if we tried, he was INCREDIBLE. After a few mins learning how to use the Segway we saw The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth), Capitol Hill and so many other breathtaking sites and monuments. If you are visiting Rome, try to do this early on in your trip as it is a great way to familiarise yourself with different areas.

I have done many Segway tours in th US and the Rome tour was amazing Marco used a Virtual Reality headset to help imagine the beauty of ancient Rome. His commentary was fun and educational. We loved it!

We had a great morning despite the rain going around past of Rome .Alvin our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us everything about the history . He’s also an Opera singer and gave us a short rendition 😀 We would recommend Fat Tires for a Segway ride - great pre ride training too

We LOVED this tour with Marco! We are frequent Segway users when we travel and try to book a tour on our first day to get the lay of the land… this tour did far more. Marco showed us ruins and sites in Rome and nailed the explanation of the layers of history unfolding in front of us. The easily understood explanations set us up for the rest of our visit in Rome! We SCORED with this one! Bravo Marco! Ciao

Guide from fat tire was amazing and I couldn’t recommend him more! He was so accommodating, friendly and patient to guide my wife on the Segway. Throughout the tour, he professionally took care of her ensuring her safety as well as all of us in the group. The VR used enhanced our experience to see the city for what it was in those days. Without it, it was hard to imagine the splendour of the Roman forums and colosseums from the ruins they now are.
