Rome in a day with lunch

Join this Half-Day Golf Cart Tour of Rome to experience the city’s most iconic attractions in comfort and style. This private sightseeing tour is ideal if you want to see more of Rome in less time, without worrying about lunch — it’s already included. The ideal choice if you want to maximise your time in the Eternal City.

Pickup and Ancient Rome

Your private half-day golf cart tour begins with a pickup from your central Rome hotel. After meeting your friendly guide, set off toward the heart of Ancient Rome. Glide past legendary landmarks such as the Colosseum, and then continue to the Baths of Caracalla, a massive complex that once hosted Roman citizens in luxury. Next, stop at Circus Maximus to enjoy a stunning view of the Palatine Hill and its imperial palaces — a breathtaking introduction to Rome’s ancient grandeur.

Aventine Hill and on to Piazza Venezia

From one breathtaking panorama to another, ride up to the Aventine Hill, one of Rome’s Seven Hills, where you’ll stroll through the Orange Garden and take in one of the best views over the Eternal City. On the way down, pass the Mouth of Truth and stop at the Forum Boarium, the site of Ancient Rome’s cattle market. Here, admire two exceptionally preserved temples — those of Hercules and Portunus — as well as a marble arch that once served as the market’s entrance gate. Continue toward Piazza Venezia, home to the imposing Vittoriano Monument, also known as the Altar of the Fatherland, one of Rome’s most striking landmarks.

Trevi, Navona and Pantheon

Next, your half-day golf cart tour of Rome reaches the city’s Baroque heart. Visit the world-famous Trevi Fountain, an 18th-century masterpiece celebrating water in all its forms. Remember to toss a coin into the fountain — tradition says it guarantees your return to Rome.

Then, ride to Piazza Navona, the jewel of Baroque Rome, where Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers takes center stage amid elegant buildings and a lively atmosphere. From there, continue to the Pantheon, the best-preserved Roman monument still in use today. Originally a temple dedicated to all Roman gods, it became a Catholic church in 608 A.D. and still retains its original columns, marble floors, and massive dome — a true marvel of ancient engineering.

Lunch break

Around 12:00 PM, your guide will take you to your pre-selected restaurant for lunch. Choose between a traditional Italian restaurant or a Michelin-starred dining experience, both offering a three-course gourmet menu crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. (Please note that the Michelin-star option is available Monday through Friday only.) This delightful break lets you relax and savor authentic Roman cuisine before the tour continues.

Vatican

After lunch, your private Rome golf cart tour resumes around 1:00 PM, heading to the Vatican City. Admire the grand St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church, then visit the nearby Castel Sant’Angelo, an ancient fortress overlooking the Tiber River with nearly two thousand years of history.

Finally, your guide will drive you back to your hotel or any preferred location within Rome’s historic center, completing an unforgettable half-day journey through the Eternal City — blending ancient wonders, artistic beauty, and culinary excellence into one seamless Roman experience.

Private Appian Way Golf Cart Tour

Begin your journey by discovering the legendary Appian Way on a private golf cart tour of Rome, complete with exclusive access to the ancient catacombs. As you explore, you will then travel along one of the oldest Roman roads, where you can admire remarkable ancient landmarks. Along the way, uncover fascinating sites tied to early Christian history — all while enjoying both comfort and flexibility, as well as the expert guidance of your private tour guide.

Basilica San Clemente

Start your private Appian Way golf cart tour at the magnificent Basilica San Clemente, where your expert guide will lead you through the basilica’s fascinating underground levels. Discover Rome’s hidden history as you explore a 4th-century church adorned with medieval frescoes and the relics of Saint Clement, the third Pope and early Christian martyr. As you descend further, you will then uncover a mithraeum — a sacred site of the cult of Mithra, which was particularly widespread in the 2nd century A.D. Next, you’ll come across the remains of a 1st-century Roman house, thereby experiencing a rare journey through the ancient layers of Rome’s past before finally continuing along the historic Appian Way.

Baths of Caracalla

Experience the grandeur of Ancient Rome on this Appian Way golf cart tour with a visit to the Baths of Caracalla, the city’s second-largest and best-preserved thermal complex. Built in the 3rd century A.D. under Emperor Caracalla (hence the name), these monumental ruins reveal the sophistication of Roman engineering and social life. Stroll among the towering walls, explore the remains of pools, gyms, and locker rooms, and admire the intricate mosaics and artworks that once adorned this luxurious public bathhouse — a true masterpiece of imperial Rome.

Saint Sebastian’s gate and the Appian Way

Continue your private Appian Way golf cart tour at Saint Sebastian’s Gate — once known as the Appian Gate — the largest and best-preserved entrance in Rome’s ancient defensive walls. Explore the museum, climb the watchtower’s upper floors, and walk along the historic ramparts that once encircled the Eternal City.

This gate marks the true beginning of the Appian Way (Appia Antica), the “Queen of Roads”, built over 2,300 years ago to link Rome with southern Italy’s ports and trade routes to Greece and the Middle East. Along the way, visit two iconic landmarks — the Circus of Maxentius and the Tomb of Cecilia Metella — both included in your exclusive guided experience.

The catacombs of Saint Sebastian and Domine quo vadis

Discover the spiritual heart of Ancient Rome on this Appian Way golf cart tour with a visit to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano (Saint Sebastian). Originally a pagan burial site, these catacombs became one of the earliest Christian necropolises, dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the late 2nd century A.D. Join an expert guide from the catacombs for a fascinating small-group tour (about 30 minutes, not private but small group) through underground tunnels that reveal the faith and traditions of early Christian communities.

On the way back to the centre, this tour in a Golf cart of the Appian Way will take you to the church Domine quo vadis, built on the spot where, according to the legend, St Peter, who was fleeing Rome to avoid crucifixion, met Jesus and asked him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’ (hence the name of the church). A rock is kept in the church that allegedly bears the footprints of Jesus.

Entry tickets to all the sites included.

Drop-off service available only in the city centre.

Reduced price for groups only if there are three participants or more. With 4 to 5 people, we may run the tour on one or two golf carts. 6 to 8 people, the tour will run on two golf carts. 9 to 10 people, we may run the tour on two or three golf carts.
