The experience

The golf cart does the work a city tour usually makes you do on foot. You sit while the guide drives, narrating the route through the old city's quaint streets and stopping at each landmark long enough to step out, look and listen: no rushing between sites on your own legs, no navigating the crowds alone. The Colosseum option includes entry and a guided visit to learn the story of Rome's most iconic monument. The Appian Way option swaps that for entry to the Catacombs of Rome, the largest Christian burial site in the city, plus a lunch stop on the 2,000-year-old cobblestones.

The route hits Circus Maximus (a stadium that once held 200,000 people for chariot races), Palatine Hill (where Roman emperors built their palaces), Piazza Venezia with the Trajan Column, the Pantheon (over 2,000 years old and still standing), Piazza Navona with Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, and Castel Sant'Angelo, a former mausoleum turned museum with a long and surprising history. You'll see the Spanish Steps, the heart of the shopping district, and the Forum Boarium, where two well-preserved Roman temples stand near the legendary Mouth of Truth. The Theater of Marcellus, the Aventine Hill's quiet lookout, and the Baths of Caracalla (the second-largest bathing complex of ancient Rome) round out the stops, depending on which option you choose.

The guide adjusts the route to your wishes and pace, whether you want to linger at one site or move through more of them. If you pick the Appian Way option, lunch happens on the old road itself, a cozy cafe stop between the Catacombs and the gladiator school reenactment. Bottled water is included throughout, and if you're traveling with infants or small children, specialized seats are available. Just let the operator know ahead of time. Pickup happens at your Rome address in the historical center, so the day starts without a separate transfer to arrange.

Is this one for you?Choose the Colosseum option if you want the most famous landmark and a deep dive into Rome's ancient heart in one morning or afternoon. Pick the Appian Way option if you'd rather see the underground Catacombs and eat lunch on the old road itself, trading one iconic site for a slower pace and a taste of how Romans lived beyond the city center.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Italian.

What's the difference between the Colosseum option and the Appian Way option?

The Colosseum option includes entry and a guided visit to the Colosseum itself. The Appian Way option includes entry to the Catacombs of Rome instead, plus a lunch stop on the ancient road with lasagna, dessert, fruit and bottled water. Both cover the same landmarks and take 4 to 5 hours.

Can I pick what time the tour starts?

Yes. You choose between a morning or afternoon departure, whichever suits your schedule. The guide will meet you at your pickup address in Rome's historical center.

What is the Circus Maximus?

The Circus Maximus was the largest stadium ever built in ancient Rome, with a capacity of 200,000 people. It hosted chariot races and major events, and you'll see the remains during the tour.

Is entry to the sites included?

Yes. Entry tickets to either the Colosseum or the Catacombs (depending on your option), plus the Baths of Caracalla on the Appian Way option, are included. The guide leads you through each site and tells its story.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the starting point?

No. Pickup is included at your address in Rome's historical center. The golf cart picks you up there, so you don't need to get yourself to a meeting point.

Can I bring a small child or infant?

Yes. Specialized infant seats and child seats are available if you let the operator know before the tour. Infants can also ride in a pram or stroller.
