RIVER TRIPS · RIVER RAFTING IN ITALY
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 river rafting in Italy worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Paddle through central Rome with a certified guide, passing Castel Sant’Angelo and Tiber Island before tackling rapids near Ponte Garibaldi. Guides such as Facundo, Julia, Greg, and Daniele add history and humor. Expect a 2-hour outing, wet shoes, safety gear, water, and Roman pizza.
“My boys 22, 17, and 11 and I, all had a great time! Our guide (from Argentina) was fantastic!!”
Meet at the rafting center in Dimaro Folgarida for a family-friendly Noce River descent with guides such as Luca or Luis. Bring swimwear, a T-shirt, wet shoes, and a towel. Gear, shared transport, and rafting photos are included.
“You should definitely do it. It was just great. We had a lot of fun and a great guide - Luis!!Auto-translated”
Start near San Michele’s Castle in Cusiano, learn paddle commands, then raft the Noce River toward Dimaro with English-speaking guides such as Pedro, Jose, and Kose. Expect about two hours on the river, provided gear, private transport, and a child transfer around the harder Mezzana rapids.
“Perfectly explained in English, nice captain, very professional, polite, it was great fun to do the rafting experience in such a beautiful environment. Highly recommended!”
Meet beneath Porta del Popolo, then follow an English-speaking guide to the Tiber for about two hours of gentle paddling, floating, history, and two easy rapids. Guides such as Dario, Sebastian, Daniele, and Carlos lead the outing. Expect wet shoes, a pizza or street-food snack, and a different view of Rome.
“Something a bit different from the regular chaos of Rome which was very much welcomed by our two teenagers! Most of the journey is calm and quiet, then a short break for water and a slice of pizza (provided) before a couple of rapids (not too sinister and a chance to get wet - welcomed in the heat). Our guide filled us in with some interesting snippets as we went along and you get a different view of Rome. Only other comment is you don’t end up back where you started, which wasn’t overly clear in the tour description so it’s about a 20 min walk to the nearest metro…”
An hour, an evening, a set of rapids or a week aboard.
Every country and city on the site, from the Nile to the Chicago.
