Rome food tour in Golf CartThis Rome food tour in Golf Cart will make you enjoy delicious food while you discover famous landmarks, learning interesting stories about the Eternal City. Thanks to the Golf Cart, we’ll be able to cover way more ground than on a walking tour, exploring off the beaten track areas and get a real feel for the city.
This food tour of Rome by Golf Cart features two departure times, one in the morning and the other in the late afternoon, for you to choose between two itineraries. It stops at several places where you can taste traditional delicacies, savoury and sweet, and soak into the most authentic atmosphere of the least touristy districts in Rome.
The morning tour starts off with cappuccino e cornetto – what else? The typical breakfast every Italian has at their favourite local cafe. After some sightseeing, hitting famous highlights such as the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain among others, we cross the river to explore Trastevere, and get a slice of fabulous pizza bianca, stuffed with mortadella or prosciutto or anything you’re down for.
Then, we’ll get to Testaccio, to visit the vibrant market that takes place every day – from Monday through Saturday. There you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the traditional “polpetta di lesso”, a delicious beef patty, long cooked and then deep fried. As an alternative, you can have a rich sandwich or – if it’s pasta that floats your boat – then go for the most typical Roman pasta at the next stand! After that, our Rome food tour in Golf Cart zips through other famous sites to get to its due end: an amazing gelato on one of the most beautiful squares of Rome, featuring the renowned Turtle Fountain.
The afternoon tour begins with some sightseeing and reach Trastevere for a Trapizzino, the unique sandwich you can taste only in Rome: a triangle of pizza bianca stuffed with some traditional food of your choice. Then, we take the quaint alleys near Campo de Fiori to taste of the most famous Roman specialties, “filetto di baccalà”, a battered, deep-fried piece of cod fish. For those who don’t like fish, there’s the possibility to substitute it with the famous “Carciofo alla giudia”, a deep-fried artichoke.
Before ending this food tour of Rome in Golf cart, we’ll hit some other attractions and finally head for Piazza Mattei, next to the old Jewish Ghetto, where you’ll get the best gelato ever!
