Tiber Sightseeing Tour
This is completely eco-friendly experience that will see you glide down the lovely Tiber River on a sightseeing boat tour that usually lasts two hours. You can get away from the city and paddle along some gentle currents while inside a raft, all while the guide will tell you about the rich history of the waterway. Admire the riverside monuments and if you do not have rafting experience, do not worry! This is not needed.
Highlights:

- Explore the history of the Tiber River waterway
- See a side of the city you cannot enjoy in another way
- Be led by a local that has all the knowledge and insights you want
- Suitable for all ages
This option shows you that Rome can be so much more fun than what people initially think. The city is not just about architecture and hundreds of thousands of visitors present at the main sites.
Tandem Paragliding
As you visit Rome you do not really need to be stuck inside the city. An afternoon or morning tandem paragliding experience is available close-by. Launching spot is Lake Bracciano, Tivoli or Rieti. There will be a guide that will help you glide for around 45 minutes over scenic countryside views.
Highlights:
- Prearranged round-trip transportation available
- Technical and safety training before paragliding
- Guide with huge paragliding experience
- Afternoon or morning experiences
Obviously, flying paragliders is difficult from a technical point of view. However, this is available thanks to the guide that will take you through the entire trip. Even the drive to the launch point is an attraction that allows you to see the unseen side of Rome.
Rome Running Tour
Do you love exercising? Why not combine it with sightseeing? You can jog along some of the most popular of the Rome attractions while guided by a local. The running tour takes you across highly popular tourist destinations like Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.
What is interesting with such a Rome tour option is that you can see some locations that are less-visited, locations that you do not often see in tour packages. You would be on a small group that is normally limited to 6 people. That is so you can easily enjoy everything you visit. However, you should be a runner to consider the tour. Upgrade to the Pantheon Square Italian breakfast.
