Perhaps the most satisfying part of this car tour in Rome is the peace and tranquility that you will find in so many places and the awareness that you are travelling further and seeing more than the average visitor. So, if you want to see the "real Rome" and its true off-road gems, in comfort and with a local, take a ride with us! We would like to share our city with you, introducing you to Rome as a local.
