Full description
Rome as you've never seen it. From the Tiber river, on board an inflatable boat!
Join our rafting experience in the capital: paddling in the company of a guide, you will admire the main monuments of the historic centre from a new perspective.
From Ponte Milvio to Ponte Sisto, you will spend 2 hours in the heart of the eternal city!
What we will do
The appointment is at the selected time at the meeting point in Rome, in the Ponte Milvio area. Your guide will welcome you on this city rafting trip!
Once all the participants have gathered, the guide will hold a briefing during which he will explain the manoeuvres we will carry out and all the information needed to enjoy this experience without worries. We will then be ready to board the raft and venture down the Tiber river, discovering the city of Rome from a new (and unique) perspective.
After a 'welcome' rapids , we will enter a densely vegetated area before paddling into the calm waters of the historic centre. During the paddle, the guide will not fail to provide us with some information on the monuments we will spot: from Castel Sant'Angelo to St Peter's Basilica in the distance.
After about 6 km of navigation we will land at Ponte Sisto. From here it will be possible to return to the meeting point by taking the route on foot or using the bus service. The rafting will last about 1 hour; the experience will last about 2 hours in total.

The experience is suitable for children from the age of 6; children under the age of 18 must have a signed authorisation which will be sent by the organiser before the experience takes place.
