What to expect on the Tiber boat tour
The Tiber boat tour is far more than just a journey from A to B – it's a real highlight of your visit to Rome. During the approximately one-hour round trip, you'll experience the city from a perspective that remains hidden to most visitors. You glide under historic bridges, past magnificent palaces and ancient ruins, whilst enjoying views of sights such as Villa Farnesina, the Mausoleum of Augustus, the Ara Pacis and the Supreme Court of Cassation.
The four stops – Tiber Island, Castel Sant'Angelo and two other intermediate stops – give you the freedom to design your own route. For example, you can get off at Tiber Island and stroll through the charming Trastevere district before boarding again. Or you can use the stop at Castel Sant'Angelo to visit the impressive castle and then continue your journey.
The mobile audio guide makes the trip even more informative: you'll learn interesting details about the history of the bridges, the significance of the Tiber to ancient Rome and the stories behind the buildings you see from the boat. This turns every trip into an exciting voyage of discovery.
Another advantage: you avoid Rome's often chaotic traffic and instead enjoy a relaxing journey on the water. Especially on hot summer days, the cool breeze on the Tiber is a welcome refreshment. The boat tour is also a great way to rest your feet after a long day of sightseeing.
