You’ll glide through Rome’s glowing streets on a Segway with a local guide, stopping at icons like the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Spanish Steps after dark. Expect laughter during your orientation session and plenty of stories along the way. By tour’s end, you’ll feel like you’ve seen another side of Rome — one that lingers long after you leave.
"You ever tried steering one of these things?" That’s what our guide Marco asked, grinning as he handed me my helmet near Rome Termini. I was nervous — not sure if I’d end up in a fountain or something — but after a quick practice loop, it honestly felt like floating above the cobblestones. The air smelled faintly of espresso and rain on stone, even though it hadn’t rained for hours. There were only six of us, which meant Marco could actually hear when I muttered “wow” at every corner.
We zipped past traffic and into Piazza Navona first. The fountains were lit up, water catching bits of gold from the streetlights. Marco told us about Bernini’s Four Rivers Fountain (I kept forgetting which river was which), and a couple holding hands asked him something in Italian that made everyone laugh — wish I’d caught the joke. When we reached the Pantheon, there was this hush; even the pigeons seemed quieter at night. The marble felt colder if you leaned close, but maybe that’s just me being weirdly tactile.
I didn’t expect to feel so giddy rolling up to the Trevi Fountain after dark. It wasn’t empty but it also wasn’t swarmed like during the day — just enough people tossing coins or whispering wishes. The sound of water almost drowned out Marco’s stories about ancient aqueducts (which are honestly more interesting than they sound). My favorite stop was probably the Spanish Steps; locals sat around chatting softly while we took photos. Someone nearby played guitar — not well, but it fit somehow.
By the time we stopped outside St. Ignazio Church to stare at its 3D ceiling trick (Marco swore it would mess with our heads), I realized how much ground we’d covered without feeling rushed or lost in a crowd. I still think about those little moments — like when Marco pointed out an old bakery he used to visit as a kid, or when my Segway wobbled over a loose cobble and he caught my arm before I could embarrass myself too badly.
