Top things to do in Rome

Why a golf cart tour in Rome is a must-do

Rome Golf Cart Tickets
  • Discover hidden corners big buses can’t reach: Golf carts glide through narrow alleys and tucked-away piazzas that tour buses can’t touch. With over 2000 fountains scattered across Rome, some of the most charming ones are hidden off the main roads—exactly where your cart can go.

  • Stay cool in the Roman heat: Summer in Rome regularly hits 35°C (95°F), and the crowds don’t help. A golf cart gives you a shaded, breezy ride that lets you enjoy the beautiful views without melting. 

  • Sightseeing that suits everyone: From strollers to seniors, golf carts are a win for all ages and abilities. You’ll roll up Rome’s seven hills in comfort, including Capitoline Hill—which, fun fact, ancient Romans once had to drag statues up by hand. You? You’ll be coasting.

  • Guides with all the juicy details: Your guide will share tales of Julius Caesar’s betrayal, feuding Renaissance artists, and even where to find the city’s best gelato. Piazza Navona’s fountain? It might be throwing shade—literally—at a rival church.

What to know before booking your Rome golf cart tour

  • If you're looking for hotel pickup, opt for the Private Appian Way Golf Cart Tour or Private Rome Full Golf Cart City Tour with Hotel Pick-Up. Most other tours start from a central meeting point in Rome.
  • Group sizes are small—usually up to 7 people per cart—which keeps the experience personal and flexible.

  • You’ll find both express and full-length options. Express tours last around 1.5 hours and hit the highlights fast, while full tours run 3 hours and give you more time at each stop, plus a few hidden gems.

  • Your golf cart tour includes a licensed English-speaking local guide.

  • Accessibility is a big plus—golf carts are great for anyone who wants to skip the long walks or can’t manage uneven cobblestones. While you can’t drive right into monuments, the carts get very close to entrances and photo spots.

Tips to make the best of your golf cart tour

  • While most of the tour is on wheels, some monuments like the Pantheon or Trevi Fountain require a short walk from where the golf cart can park. So be prepared for brief walks.
  • If you spot something you want to explore inside—like the Colosseum or Roman Forum—you’ll need a separate entry. Consider pairing your tour tickets with the attractions you’d like to visit.

  • If you’ve opted to drive along the Appian Way, keep an eye out for the aqueducts. The ancient road itself is special, but go a bit farther to see where the massive aqueducts still cut across the landscape. It’s one of the most dramatic, lesser-seen sights in Rome.

  • Request your guide to drive close to the lesser-known part of Colosseum. Most people photograph the Colosseum from the front, but your guide can drive around to the quieter back side near the Ludus Magnus ruins—where gladiators once trained—for unique views.

  • Bring a light scarf or wrap for churches. If you're stopping at places like the Church of Domine Quo Vadis or stepping into San Sebastiano, you may need modest attire.
