Rowing in Rome - Walk Italy Tours

Rowing in Rome: single session or 5-day rowing experience

Rowing is one of the fastest growing sports and our aim is to help make it accessible to everyone. You don’t have to be a sculling champion to row on the Tiber; however, you are expected to have basic rowing skills. We will select a route based on your requirements and ability.

Anyone visiting Rome should try rowing in the urban part of the river from Ponte Milvio up to the Isola Tiberina. You’ll see Rome from water level – rather than from the road – and experience the city from a whole new perspective!

A certified rowing instructor, with an in-depth knowledge of the river, will give you a reminder of rowing techniques before setting off. Once on the tour, he or she will also act as a guide.

If you are a beginner, we suggest sweep rowing, where each rower has one oar; if you are an experienced rower, you can try sculling, where each rower has two oars.

Rowing in a tandem (plus instructor) is a hugely popular birthday present for all ages. Or you may prefer a quad, or an eight. Just let us know the number of people and a suitable date and time, and we will organise the equipment and instructors accordingly and send you a quote.

The Rowing in Rome experience lasts a couple of hours out of which 1 hour for rowing plus 20 minutes for presentation of the rowing, setting up the boat and 20 minutes to wash and clean it. Your tour will start and end at the Rowing Club nearby Ponte Matteotti. Remember to bring a bottle or flask of water with you.
