The experience

You start by meeting your guide and climbing into a private golf cart, then head out along Rome's ancient roads to see the city's most recognizable monuments. The Colosseum, the Flavian Amphitheatre, draws over 6 million visitors a year, and you'll see it from the cart with the guide explaining how it once held 50,000 spectators for gladiator fights and exotic animal shows. From there, the route moves through the city's most famous squares and fountains, each one a stop where you get out to look around while the guide fills in the layers of history.

Trevi Fountain is 26 meters high and 20 meters wide, and the guide explains the myth behind throwing a coin and why the name comes from "Tre Vie", three ways, since three streets once met there. Piazza Navona has three fountains designed in the 1600s and street performers working the square during the day. The Pantheon is the best-preserved building from ancient Rome, with a dome 43.5 meters across and a 9-meter opening at the top that lets natural light flood the interior. Raphael is buried there. St. Peter's Square holds 300,000 people and is ringed by 284 columns and 88 pilasters topped with 140 statues of saints. Castel Sant'Angelo started as Emperor Hadrian's tomb in 135 AD and sits on the Tiber's right bank near the Vatican. Circus Maximus, once a chariot-racing stadium that could seat 150,000, is now a public park in the valley between two hills.

The 2.5-hour tour is private, so you and your group move at your own pace and can linger at whichever stops matter to you. The golf cart does the work of getting between sites, which means you cover more ground than you would on foot and your legs stay fresh for climbing steps or standing in squares. You tell the guide which monuments interest you most, and the route adjusts to fit, so if you want to skip one stop and spend more time at another, that's how it works.
