Rome: Private Golf Cart Tour, Colosseum, Pantheon & Pickup

Summary

Rome’s icons by golf cart with stories, laughter and easy stops

You’ll ride through Rome’s heart in a private golf cart, skipping traffic and crowds while your local guide shares stories at every turn. Toss your coin into Trevi Fountain, step inside the Pantheon if you want, and get right up close to places cars can’t reach—all with pickup included. You might find yourself smiling at small surprises long after.

What’s the experience like?

Hands gripping the edge of the seat, I watched cobblestones blur beneath us as our golf cart zipped through a tiny alley—honestly, I’d never realized how quiet Rome could be until we slipped past a bakery just opening up. The air smelled like espresso and something sweet. Our guide, Marco (he waved off “signore,” just Marco), pointed out a faded fresco above a doorway that I’d have missed on foot. He asked if we wanted to stop for photos at the Trevi Fountain or just toss coins from the curb. I still have that coin in my pocket—superstitious maybe, but he said everyone does it.

We didn’t follow any strict order; Marco checked which sights were closest to our hotel and made it up as we went. At Piazza Navona, he told us Bernini’s Fountain of Four Rivers had its own little feud story behind it—he even did an impression of Bernini rolling his eyes (not sure if that’s historically accurate but it cracked us up). The Pantheon was next—entry included if you let them know in advance—and stepping inside felt like walking into cool stone silence after all that sun. There’s this echo when you talk under the dome; I whispered and it sounded huge.

I liked how we could ask to stop whenever—sometimes just for a quick look at some street art or to grab water from a little fountain (those things are everywhere). The Spanish Steps were crawling with people but somehow our cart squeezed right up close. Marco joked about shopping for designer shoes nearby—I’ll admit I was tempted. We saw the Colosseum from outside, and he explained how they used to flood it for mock sea battles. Didn’t expect to laugh so much on a history tour honestly.
