Tour Itinerary
-
1
Your tour begins at Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano
Meet your friendly guide and group members in the heart of Rome, right near the impressive Basilica of San Giovanni. You'll hop into your fun 7-seater golf cart and get ready for a whirlwind adventure through the Eternal City. -
2
Orange Garden, the secret keyhole, and ancient Circus Maximus
First up is the Orange Garden on Aventine Hill, where you'll catch sweeping views of terracotta rooftops stretching across the city. You'll peek through a hidden keyhole that frames St. Peter's Dome perfectly. Then it's down to Circus Maximus, the massive oval where ancient Romans watched chariot races. -
3
Trastevere, Janiculum Terrace, and Vatican City
Your cart winds through Trastevere's cobblestone lanes, past street art and wine bars packed with locals. After climbing Janiculum Hill, you'll snap photos from the terrace overlooking the Tiber River snaking through domes and bell towers. From there, you'll roll into Vatican City to see St. Peter's Square and Basilica. -
4
Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Venezia
The Pantheon's massive columns tower above you—this 2,000-year-old temple still has the world's largest unsupported concrete dome. Next, you'll pop out at the Trevi Fountain, where white marble statues and bright blue water create that movie-perfect scene. Then you're off to Piazza Venezia to see the giant monument with the king on horseback. -
5
Mouth of Truth, Roman Forum, and Spanish Steps
You'll test your honesty at the Mouth of Truth, legend says the carved face bites liars' hands off. Cruise past the Roman Forum's crumbling temples and government buildings, once the center of ancient city life. Then you'll catch a glimpse of the Spanish Steps, 135 marble stairs climbing up to an Egyptian obelisk. -
6
Villa Borghese, Piazza del Popolo, and Emperor Augustus's tomb
Time for a breather as you glide through Villa Borghese's shaded paths and manicured gardens—Rome's biggest park and a nice escape from the crowds. You'll emerge at Piazza del Popolo, the city's largest square, flanked by twin churches that look identical but aren't. Quick stop at Emperor Augustus's massive circular tomb before the grand finale. -
7
Your tour finishes at Piazza Venezia
Your ride ends at the stunning Piazza Venezia, dominated by the massive white marble monument to Italy's first king. The Colosseum is just a short walk away if you want to keep exploring, or you can wander off to discover more of Rome's enchanting sites on your own.

Customer Reviews
Our tour guide was fantastic ! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the beautiful city he so proudly calls home ☺️
This tour may have been the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide, Mauricio, was outstanding! We loved hitting all the points of interest and getting photos without all the walking. It was a great way to see the city and we highly recommend it!
Ignacio was terrific. We did the tour on our first day in Rome and were severely jet lagged but it was still great and he was super patient. Great way to get a holistic view of Rome.
Was in Italy for a week with stays in Rome at the bookends. Had seen many of the sites when we first arrived in Rome. But taking the Golf Cart tour was priceless. While we still saw some of the standard sites (Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc.), our guide Cristiano was a wealth of knowledge. He also took us to lesser known areas of Rome that we wouldn't have seen let alone known about had it not been for him. And he gave modern day insight to several of the sites, including the Chiesa Di Santa Sabina, view from the grounds, Theatre of Pompey where Caesar was killed, and Santa Maria sopra Minerva and more. Great historical stories to go with each stop along with additional recommendations that everyone in our group followed at the end of our tour. Would definitely go again. Not sure if I'd recommend doing this at the beginning of the trip to get a footing in Rome or at the end to round out the stay. Regardless, it's one not to be missed.
