Discover a new side of the city on our Rome Fiat 500 Tour, aboard the beloved symbol of Italy's vintage charm. From the moment you climb into the little car, you feel transported to another era. Your driver takes you through winding lanes, past ancient monuments, lively squares and elegant fountains.
You start near the Colosseum, built in the first century for gladiator fights and animal hunts. Then you drive past the Circus Maximus, the huge chariot-racing track between the Palatine and Aventine Hills.
On the Aventine you see the Roseto Comunale, the city's rose garden, and stop at the Giardino degli Aranci. This Orange Garden has one of the best views in Rome, all the way to St. Peter's Basilica.
Next you visit the round Temple of Hercules Victor, one of Rome's oldest surviving temples. You pass Tiber Island and the cobbled streets of Trastevere on your way up the Janiculum.
There you stop at the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, the grand Baroque fountain from the film La Grande Bellezza. Then comes the Terrazza del Gianicolo, a favorite sunset viewpoint over the whole city. The tour passes Piazza Trilussa in Trastevere at the end.
Choose the Retro Fiat 500 with Photoshoot option and a photographer captures you at the best stops. You receive the edited photos and all the originals. It makes a great gift, proposal idea or celebration.
The tour lasts about 3 hours. Your driver-guide speaks English, and French, Italian, Arabic, Russian or Turkish on request. Choose a small group or a private car. Nearly 850 travelers have rated it 4.9 stars.
“Came hungry, left family”
Every stop felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. The pasta course alone justified the flight to Rome.

Second time in Rome but first time actually understanding what I was looking at. The Forum section was fantastic.

The Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was built in the 1st century CE under the Flavian emperors. Once the stage for gladiatorial battles and animal hunts, it became the largest amphitheatre in the ancient world. Today, it remains one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks and a symbol of the grandeur of the Roman Empire.
The Circus Maximus was the largest entertainment venue in ancient Rome, measuring approximately 600 metres long and 140 metres wide. Located between the Palatine and Aventine Hills, it hosted spectacular chariot races and is linked to the legendary story of the Rape of the Sabine Women. It was transformed into a formal circus under Julius Caesar.
The Roseto Comunale, located at the foot of Aventine Hill near Circus Maximus, is one of Rome’s most beautiful green spaces. Established in 1931, it features hundreds of rose varieties and offers stunning views of ancient Rome. May is the best time to visit, when the roses are in full bloom and the garden hosts the annual Premio Roma rose competition.
The Giardino degli Aranci (Garden of the Oranges), located on Aventine Hill, is a peaceful park famous for its fragrant orange trees and breathtaking panoramic views of Rome, including St. Peter’s Basilica. Once part of the Santa Sabina monastery, it became a public garden in the 1930s, offering a perfect escape from the city's busy streets.
The Temple of Hercules Victor, located in the ancient Forum Boarium, dates back to the 2nd century BCE. Dedicated to Hercules, it is famous for its circular design and remarkably preserved structure, featuring 20 Corinthian columns. It is one of Rome’s oldest surviving temples and a unique example of ancient Roman architecture.
Isola Tiberina (Tiber Island) is the world's smallest inhabited island and a unique historical landmark connecting Trastevere to the Jewish Ghetto. Shaped like a boat, it has been dedicated to healing and medicine since antiquity.
Trastevere is Rome's most atmospheric neighborhood, located on the west bank of the Tiber River. Known for its narrow cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and vibrant nightlife, it captures the "Old Rome" charm perfectly.
The Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, known as Il Fontanone, is a magnificent Baroque fountain on Janiculum Hill, completed in 1612 to celebrate the restoration of the Acqua Paola aqueduct. Famous for its grand design and panoramic views of Rome, it also featured in the iconic film La Grande Bellezza.
The Terrazza del Gianicolo offers one of Rome’s most breathtaking panoramic views, overlooking St. Peter’s Basilica, the Tiber River, and the city skyline. Located on Janiculum Hill, it’s a popular spot for sunset views and relaxation, surrounded by historic monuments, including the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
