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, that offers a 5-course gourmet menu crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients – tasting-size portions. (Please note that the Michelin-star option is available Monday through Friday only.) This delightful break lets you relax and savour 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.

Pick-up and drop-off service available only in the city centre.

San Clemente, Roman Houses and Baths of Caracalla

This private tour embarks on three of the best preserved and also fascinating archeological sites of Rome. It operates only few days a week, when all three attractions are open to public, and it lasts 3 hours.

Basilica San Clemente

This private walking tour firstly, starts at the entrance of the Basilica San Clemente, which offers the unique opportunity of experiencing different levels of Rome’s past. Below the church, finished in the Middle Ages, you’ll find another IV Century church containing some of the world’s finest medieval frescos. Going further below, there’s a Mithraic temple dating back to the II Century A.D., part of an older edifice that was built in the I Century A.D.

Roman Houses

After visiting San Clemente, take a short walk through the Arch of Dolabella to reach the Caelian Hill, one of the legendary Seven Hills of Rome. Hidden beneath modern structures lies one of the city’s most remarkable archaeological treasures — a vast Roman residential complex with over 20 rooms spread across multiple levels. Here, you’ll see well-preserved frescoes dating from the 3rd century AD to the Middle Ages, beautifully illustrating daily life and art during the Roman Empire. This hidden gem remains one of Rome’s best-kept secrets and an absolute must for lovers of history and archaeology.

Baths of Caracalla

Then, it’s time to make our way along the Villa Celimontana and reach the Baths of Caracalla, the second largest bathhouse of Ancient Rome, and by far the best preserved. It dates back to the III Century A.D., and it was realised during the reign of the emperor Caracalla (hence the name). You will be able to walk among the massive ruins of the complex, that featured 4 different pools and number of gyms, locker rooms, and other areas, learn about social life in Ancient Rome, and see some of the artworks and mosaics that decorated the place.
