   Roman Forum

   Pass by

   Enjoy a thrilling drive alongside the massive Circus Maximus, ancient Rome’s premier chariot-racing stadium. From the sidecar, you will easily visualize the ancient 600-meter track where up to 250,000 spectators once gathered to cheer on their favorite charioteers.

   We will take a relaxing 10-minute break at the peaceful Orange Garden atop the Aventine Hill.
