Accessibility Description

The step-free route for this private handicapped accessible walking tour in Rome is wheelchair accessible, but due to the nature of the ancient streets and cobblestones of Rome, wheelchair users who are less mobile may need occasional assistance from a companion. An assistant to push a manual wheelchair user can be provided for an additional fee.

You’ll start off your tour at your accessible Rome hotel lobby or at the entrance to the Colosseum. The Colosseum and the Roman Forum both have step-free entrances followed by elevators. The Colosseum elevator takes you to the upper level, and the Roman Forum elevator takes you down to the ruins below. Wheelchair access at the Roman forum is only possible on about 20% of the surface area, so your tour guide will explain everything from the accessible areas in the Roman Forum or the overlook from the street above. The sidewalk between the Colosseum and the Roman Forum is flat and smooth.

To reach Piazza Campidoglio at the top of the Capitoline Hill, you will need to go up a winding street off of Via dei Fori Imperiali. Your tour guide on this private handicapped accessible walking tour in Rome can assist manual wheelchair users to get up this street. From Piazza Campidoglio, you will see the Roman Forum in one direction and the Via del Corso in the other direction.

The large Victor Emanuel Monument can be viewed from the Piazza Venezia in front of it. The piazza has cobblestone streets and smooth sidewalks. The Trevi Fountain can be crowded, but disabled participants on this private handicapped accessible walking tour in Rome can usually see it easily from the left or right side. The Pantheon has cobblestones leading to it and a wheelchair ramp at the front-left. The Fountain of Four Rivers is in the middle of the Piazza Navona and can be viewed without having to go up the single curb that runs around the piazza. The remains of the Temple of Hadrian will be viewed from the street.

* Important note: Wheelchair accessible transportation is not included on this tour. Private wheelchair accessible van pick-up at your hotel can be reserved in advance for €110 each way.
