Rome Golf Cart and Colosseum tour

This private Golf Cart tour of Rome with access to the Colosseum is the best option to sightsee the Eternal City in comfort and enter its most iconic monument. Not only will you be hitting the best attractions in town, but also visit the Colosseum on a private tour.

Pickup then off to Trevi, Navona and Pantheon

Get picked up at your accommodation, as long as it is in the historical district, and set off to discover Rome’s key sites on this private tour of Rome in golf cart with access to the Colosseum. Start off visiting with the Baroque heart of the Eternal City, namely the Trevi Fountain: a masterpiece realised in the 18th Century, where you can toss a coin into the water (which still comes from a Roman water pipe) to ensure you’ll come back to Rome.

From a great fountain to another, we hit the jewel of baroque: Piazza Navona, with its peculiar mix of classy buildings and a buzzing atmosphere, featuring the stunning Fountain of the four Rivers made by Bernini in the 17th Century.

After that, the private tour of Rome in Golf Cart stops at the Pantheon, the best preserved of all Roman monuments. Oldest place of worship still in use, the Pantheon dates back to the 2nd Century A.D. and was the temple to all the gods of Rome.

Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican

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.

Guided visit of the Colosseum

This private tour of Rome in golf cart then gets you to the the Colosseum, where you will be met by your guide and walked to the entrance way. Once you get in, you will start to time travel 2000 years into the past, learning the history of the Colosseum, how it was built (and how fast they were!) and what kind of shows ran there.

Discover how the gladiators fought on the arena, and how the Romans reenacted epic battles of their past for the fun of the audience. 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.
