You will board at Ponte Umberto I, facing Piazza Cavour and arrive at Ponte Duca d'Aosta , which connects the district of Flaminio to the Foro Italico.
The tour takes about one hour and a half. It will take you back to your starting point. From the boat you will admire some of the most attractive sights of Rome: Castel Sant'Angelo, Ara Pacis, the Foro Italico, the famous "Albergo dell'Orso" where Dante Alighieri, Rabelais and Goethe stayed. Large groups of at least 25 people are offered the possibility to dine on board.
