Rome is known as the largest open museum in the world, one of the most visited cities and one of the must-see wonders. But it isn’t what one would consider accessible to wheelchairs, at least not all of it. Visitors in wheelchairs can enjoy Rome only with some private facilities, because not all of the public transportation is accessible (buses without ramps, inaccessible metro stations and so on.


Rome and Italy Tours help visitors with disabilities explore this beautiful city, ensuring that travelers get the most out of Rome and its incredible sites. Rome and Italy was born from the union of professional experiences in the world of tourism, more than 20 years of experience in the field, leading guided tours and special excursions.


With our special equipment and the assistance of our staff, we organize tours and excursions for people of all abilities and their families. We know the level of accessibility and difficulties of each location and site that we suggest, having studied and field tested them with a staff of specialists. We take care of our guest from the beginning to the end, and we will take care of everything making you feel special.

Once you arrive in the airport, you will find an assistant holding a sign with your name in the customs area, who will help you with your luggage and will take you to your private van and off to your hotel. We have a wide range of excursions on our website, each one with a private guide who will make your trip unforgettable and will assist you during throughout your excursion.

Our flagship is our exclusive trekking wheelchair, which is included in the price of all the excursions in which it is necessary.


Travelers with disabilities are now on an “equal footing” with other travelers as they view all of Italy’s historic sites from a specially designed trekking-wheelchair. Using a seat and frame with only one wheel, plus two arms in the front and back to support the chair when not in motion, it allows for movement up or down hills. The chair is easily rolled and carried by two trained guides. 360° degree maneuverability around obstacles such as stones, holes, and steps allows visitors to safely navigate the country’s ancient streets and steps, areas previously off limit to disabled travelers. Shock absorbers under the chair keep the ride smooth. The wheelchair is also rentable separately, contact us for further information.

You can now visit sites such as the Colosseum, Villa Quintile and Ancient Ostia in a completely different perspective. All you have to care about is enjoying the environment and the historical facts that your guide will provide you during your tour.

The journey into ancient times starts by walking into the largest amphitheatre in the ancient world, the Colosseum. During the visit we will see where gladiators and fierce animals challenged each other unto death for the pleasure of the Emperors and the cheering audiences. We will visit the Imperial Palaces on top of the Palatine Hill, one of the historical seven hills, where Romulus founded the ancient city of Rome. To complete this journey through ancient Roman times, we’ll drive by the famous Circus Maximum and the Theater of Marcello (a forerunner of the Coliseum). Our tour ends in Piazza Venezia to admire the huge marble monument dedicated to King Victor Emmanuel II, built at the turn of the last century.

Assisted tours are also possible in the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. This extensive tour will give you an excellent opportunity to see, feel and touch perhaps the most astonishing structure in the entire world. The visit includes the private room of Pope Giulio II, completely decorated by the painter Raffaello. The tour will continue inside the Basilica of St. Peter, the largest in the world, with its astonishing masterpieces of art such as the "Pietà” by Michelangelo. An expert guide will walk you through this magnificent place, revealing its many artistic nuances.


The tour will end in one of the most famous squares in the world, St. Peter's Square. You will be surrounded by Bernini's magnificent 'embracing' colonnade, from which you can see the window of the Pope's private apartment.
