Rome: Private Evening Golf Cart Tour with Aperitivo & Drinks

Summary

Evening golf cart ride in Rome with drinks, laughter, city lights and stories

You’ll ride through Rome’s lively evening streets by private golf cart with a local guide, sipping prosecco and craft beer as you pass landmarks like the Colosseum and Pantheon. Expect laughter, classic aperitivo snacks at two bars, panoramic views you won’t forget—and that feeling you’re living la dolce vita for real.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is the sound — tires humming over cobblestones as we rounded a corner near the Colosseum, the city just starting to glow. Our guide Marco handed me a glass of prosecco (he called it “Roman fuel,” which made us all laugh) and pointed out how the light hit the old stone. I’d seen photos of Rome at night, but being there, feeling that cool breeze on my face and hearing people chatting in Italian as we zipped past… it’s different. You notice little things: the way a waiter flicks his napkin outside a trattoria or the smell of roasted chestnuts drifting from a street cart.

I didn’t expect to cover so much ground so easily. We cruised past Piazza Navona where kids were chasing each other around fountains, then Marco pulled us over for our first aperitivo stop — some kind of local beer I can’t pronounce (Li laughed when I tried). The snacks were salty and just right after walking all day; honestly, I could’ve stayed there for hours watching people go by. But then he steered us through these narrow medieval streets in the Jewish Ghetto, telling stories about old bakeries and secret courtyards. At one point we stopped at a viewpoint—can’t remember the name—and suddenly you could see rooftops stretching forever. I still think about that view.

We saw so many places: Pantheon lit up from below, Spanish Steps from above (way less crowded at night), Castel Sant’Angelo glowing across the river. Marco knew everyone—we kept running into locals who’d wave or shout something friendly in Italian. He even pointed out a tiny gelato place he said was “the real deal” (we didn’t have time to stop but maybe next time). The whole evening felt relaxed but somehow full—like you’re part of Rome’s rhythm for a while instead of just passing through. And yeah, riding in a golf cart with friends and drinks is probably not what Caesar had in mind for his city, but it works.
