This Jubilee private tour in Golf Cart of Rome allows you to see some of Rome’s legendary places such as where the life of Saint Peter happened. Moreover, you’ll be hitting the some less known churches, to learn about the early Christian communities.
Our Jubilee tour in golf cart departs at 9:50am on Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, located in the Monti District. Following, a short ride that takes you to the basilica San Pietro in vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) where you will see, among other things, Michelangelo’s imposing Moses. In this church you will begin your approach with the Jubilee by admiring the chains that bound st. Peter’s wrists.
Continuing our Jubilee tour, together with our Golf Cart will take you to the church Santo Stefano Rotondo, one of the oldest in Rome. Santo Stefano Rotondo (‘round shape’) owns its name to the peculiar shape it was built in, with attention to the altar located in the middle of the church and surrounded by columns. The most important masterpiece inside the church is the series of 34 frescoes dedicated to the martyrdom of various saints.
The next stop on our Jubilee tour in Golf cart 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.
The last stop of our Golf Cart tour is the catacombs San Sebastiano (Saint Sebastian), where you can truly experience the spirit of the Jubilee. Already used as a pagan burial site, the Catacombs of St Sebastian were transformed into a Christian necropolis towards the end of the 2nd Century, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. Your guide will drop you off at the entrance and you’ll visit the site on a tour (not private but small group) led by a guide provided by the catacombs.

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 the oldest of Roman roads, where you can admire remarkable ancient landmarks. Along the way, uncover fascinating sites tied to Ancient Rome and early Christian history — all while enjoying both comfort and flexibility, as well as the expert guidance of your private tour guide.
Start your private Appian Way golf cart tour at t your accommodation in the city centre, where your guide will meet you at 9am sharp, and head for the Baths of Caracalla. Experience the grandeur of Ancient Rome with a visit to 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.
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 middle 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 the “Gladiatorial school”, run by the Gruppo Storico Romano, a group who specialises in reenacting show and features of Ancient Rome. Here you’ll be able to visit the gladiatorial museum, lear about the shows back in the day, take pictures and you might assist at a real training.
This Appian Way golf cart tour resumes with a visit to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano (Saint Sebastian), for you to discover the spiritual heart of the early Christian communities. 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. Please note the entrance time is 11:30, the visit is not private and is conducted by a guide provided by the Catacombs.
After exiting the Catacombs, it is time for the lunch break: walk over the 2,000-year-old cobblestones the Appian Way consists of and reach the Appia Cafe, a cozy cafe where you’ll be able to enjoy a quick lunch (lasagna, dessert, fruit and water) after an entire morning of sightseeing and exploring some of the most unique attractions Rome has to offer.
On the way back, stop at the most iconic attraction on the Appian Way: the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, built during the 1st century B.C., consisting of a huge cylindric drum whose exterior parts are still beautifully decorated. In the Middle Ages, the structure was included in a fortress to control the area, whose massive remains are still visible.
Before heading back to the centre, there is time for a visit to the Circus of Maxentius, a multifunctional complex dating back to the 3nd Century A.D.: it featured a stadium for chariot races, the villa of the emperor Maxentius and the grave of his son Romulus.
Then, 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).

Then, we’ll head for the river Tiber, where stands the majestic Castel Sant’Angelo. Once the monumental grave of the emperor Hadrian, the building underwent several transformations (fortress, prison, papal residence, firefighters barrack) and it can be considered the best example of how the Eternal City has changed over time. From there, we reach the Vatican City for a quick visit (only the square and the Saint Peter’s Basilica from outside) to the smallest country in the world.

Marvel at the massive remains of the largest amphitheatre of the ancient times, which could seat some 70,000 people. Learn interesting back stories and find out why it is called “colosseum” – and its actual name in Ancient Rome.
After finishing the visit of the Colosseum, you will handed the tickets, for you to visit the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill on your own, within the next 24 hours. This golf cart of Rome with access to the Colosseum isn’t finished yet, as we will drive by the Circus Maximus, the Mouth of Truth and stop at the Forum Boarium.
It was the cattle market in Ancient Rome, and features two exceptionally preserved temples: Hercules’ and Portunus’, besides a marble arch that was the entry gate to the market. From there, we will whiz to Piazza Venezia, with the impressive Vittoriano, also serving as Altar of the Fatherland, and drop you off at your accommodation, or wherever you’d like in the historical centre.
