Begin your family adventure with private transportation to Rome’s Bioparco Zoo, a tranquil oasis nestled within the lush expanse of Villa Borghese. Designed with open-air enclosures rather than traditional cages, the Bioparco invites you to wander among more than 1,100 animals representing over 220 species—from elegant giraffes and playful primates to rare white tigers and endearing pygmy hippos. Along the way, you may even share a snack with a friendly peacock at one of the park’s charming cafés.


After your time among the wildlife, enjoy a guided stroll through the historic Villa Borghese gardens, once the private estate of one of Rome’s most influential families. As you explore, your guide will share stories of the Borghese legacy while leading you past hidden gems like the replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, a classical Roman temple, and a breathtaking panoramic terrace overlooking Piazza del Popolo. It’s the perfect blend of nature, history, and family fun—capped off, of course, with a well-earned gelato.
