Rome: Private Fiat 500 Tour of the Appian Way

This private 3-hour tour takes you from central Rome to the Appian Way in a restored vintage cabrio converted to electric: a Fiat 500 or, depending on group size, a Fiat 850 Spiaggina. The driver picks you up at your hotel or restaurant in the historic center at 10:00 AM. You drive along a stretch of the ancient Appian Way and visit the Museum of the Walls, inside Porta San Sebastiano, a gate of the Aurelian Walls. With the optional catacombs ticket, you also join the 11:30 AM guided visit of the San Sebastiano Catacombs, led by one of the catacombs' own guides. The tour runs every day except Monday, when the catacombs are closed. Only your group takes part.

Good to know

• The tour runs when the San Sebastiano Catacombs are open: every day except Monday. The catacombs are also closed on 25 December, 1 January and Easter Sunday, and for an annual closure in December (in 2026, from 7 to 27 December).

• On Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM (except in August), the first stretch of the Appian Way is a limited traffic zone, so on weekends the driver changes the route.

• The walkway on the Aurelian Walls is closed to the public for works: you visit the museum inside Porta San Sebastiano, but you cannot walk along the walls. The museum is closed on Mondays, 1 May and 25 December.

• The Museum of the Walls has no elevator and several flights of stairs, so it may be difficult for visitors with reduced mobility.

• Drivers are not licensed tour guides, but they will gladly help with your requests whenever possible. A guide from the catacombs leads the visit to the San Sebastiano Catacombs.

• Children aged 3 and over are welcome with a parent. Children under 3 cannot ride: the cars are too small for child seats, and some have no seat belts.

• Depending on group size and availability, we use Fiat 500 or Fiat 850 Spiaggina cars, or both. Car color and type are not guaranteed.

• You can request a specific car color or type for €150 extra (refunded if we cannot provide it).

• In rain or wet weather, the tour runs in golf carts with rain covers. If no golf cart is available, we offer you another date or time.
