Summary

See Rome’s icons & lively squares from a golf cart with a Roman guide

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the way the morning light slid across the cobbles as we zipped past the Pantheon in our little golf cart. Our guide, Marco—he grew up two blocks from here—pointed out a tiny coffee bar he swears has the best cornetti in Rome. I still remember the smell of espresso drifting through the open sides of the cart. There’s something about seeing these ancient stones from this angle, low to the ground and breezy, that made it all feel less like a checklist and more like wandering with a friend who just happens to know every shortcut.

We’d barely finished laughing about my attempt at “grazie mille” when we rolled up to the Colosseum. It’s massive—yeah, you’ve seen photos, but in person it just looms over you. Marco told us stories about gladiators (he said one was basically a local celebrity back then) and pointed out where you can still see old chisel marks on some of the stones. We didn’t linger too long; there’s so much packed into this day trip around Rome that it felt good to keep moving, windows down, city sounds mixing with his stories.

I liked how flexible everything was. When I mentioned wanting to see Campo de’ Fiori, Marco just nodded and took a quick turn through narrow streets—suddenly we were in the middle of stalls selling sun-warmed tomatoes and flowers. He handed us little Roman snacks (I think it was supplì? Still not sure) and we sat for a minute watching locals argue cheerfully over artichokes. The tour included pickup right near our hotel too, which honestly saved us from getting lost before coffee.

Somewhere between tossing a coin into Trevi Fountain (I missed on my first try) and catching that view from the Orange Garden—quiet except for church bells—I realized I’d stopped checking my phone for directions or photos. Maybe that’s what I’ll remember most: feeling like we belonged here for a few hours, even if just as wide-eyed visitors on wheels.
