Why Choose a Private Ape Calessino Tour?

When visiting Rome, there’s no shortage of options for guided tours. But if you’re seeking something truly special, an Ape Calessino tour provides an intimate experience in a vintage three-wheeler that’s become an icon of Italian charm. These tours are designed for small groups or couples, offering a personalized touch to make your visit to Rome truly unforgettable.

Here’s why an Ape Calessino tour is the best way to see the city:

    Unlike larger group tours that stick to a set route, a private Ape Calessino tour lets you customize your itinerary based on your interests. Whether you want to visit iconic landmarks or discover lesser-known areas, the tour is entirely tailored to your preferences.
  2. Travel in Style
    The Ape Calessino is more than just a vehicle—it’s a fun, nostalgic way to explore Rome. Its compact size allows it to navigate Rome’s narrow streets and ancient roads, while its open design lets you take in the sights and sounds of the city as you ride.

  4. Avoid the Crowds
    Rome’s most famous sites can get crowded, but a private tour allows you to visit at your own pace, skipping the tourist traps and discovering quieter, more authentic parts of the city. Enjoy a more relaxed experience while still seeing all the highlights.
  5. Comfort and Flexibility
    With a private tour, you can enjoy a leisurely pace and stop whenever you like for photos, snacks, or simply to take in the view. The Ape Calessino is comfortable and perfect for zipping through the city in style.

    Welcome to Lesser-Known Rome

    Your journey begins with the Piaggio Ape Calessino, a vintage electric three-wheeler that adds charm to the experience. Depending on your selected departure time—morning or early afternoon—you’ll meet your expert guide and fellow explorers at a starting point along the Via Appia Antica. From here, you’ll set off to explore the historic Appian Way, a stone-paved road that’s less than 2 miles (3 km) from the Colosseum yet offers a peaceful escape from the typical tourist route. As you ride along, your guide will share captivating stories and historical insights, bringing to life the ancient figures and events tied to this famed Roman road.

    Discover the Appian Way’s Treasures

    A memorable stop is the Domine Quo Vadis Church, where Saint Peter is said to have encountered Jesus in a moment that changed history. A short ride further reveals the grandeur of Emperor Maxentius’ Villa and Circus, a site steeped in the luxury and power of Rome’s past. You’ll also encounter the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, a towering mausoleum from a noble family, and explore Quintili’s Villa, with its elegant baths and sprawling gardens that reflect ancient Roman opulence.

    Uncover the Mysteries of the Catacombs

    Descend into the mysterious catacombs, where the early Christian and Jewish communities laid their loved ones to rest in an intricate underground network. Dimly lit passages and solemn tombs tell the story of ancient burial customs, while your guide’s insights transform this eerie experience into a deeper understanding of Rome’s spiritual heritage.

    After the tour, take the opportunity to savor a meal at one of Rome’s authentic restaurants nearby, completing your experience with traditional flavors.
