## Overview

We have been certified rafting guides for years, we have had the pleasure of practicing this beautiful discipline on many rivers in Italy and abroad. We have decided to transform this passion of ours and pass it on to others right in our city, the eternal Rome, and let our guests experience a unique and unforgettable emotion, let them know "the Eternal city" from another point of view, through the river Tiber, tell the city in rafting !

The Tiber on Rome is not navigable by anyone, except for us and our dinghies, we have all the permits and requirements to let you know the city by making you experience unique emotions.
