Itinerary
Your experience begins as you glide past some of Rome’s most famous sights, including the Theatre of Marcellus, the Circus Maximus, and the Baths of Caracalla. Relax in your golf cart as your expert tour leader shares captivating stories and brief introductions to these iconic landmarks, setting the stage for an unforgettable exploration.
The Baths of Caracalla, a magnificent thermal complex of ancient Rome, stand as a symbol of imperial grandeur and engineering excellence. Built in the 3rd century AD, they embody a perfect blend of art and relaxation, featuring spaces adorned with mosaics, marble, and sculptures.
Your first stop is the Museo delle Mura (Except Mondays), where you’ll enjoy a short guided visit to discover Rome’s ancient defensive walls. From atop the well-preserved Aurelian Walls, take in breathtaking panoramic views and learn about their vital role in protecting the Eternal City throughout history.
Next, uncover the roots of Christianity on a 40-minute guided tour of the Catacombs of Rome. Descend into a labyrinth of underground tunnels, exploring early Christian burial sites and uncovering their profound historical and spiritual significance. The catacomb included in the itinerary may vary depending on potential closures or access restrictions. However, it will be replaced with another catacomb to ensure a complete and equally enriching experience. IMPORTANT: If the Domitilla Catacombs are closed, you will visit another catacomb, such as the Callisto Catacombs
Back above ground, enjoy a peaceful stroll along the basolato, the ancient stone road of the Appian Way. Hear your guide recount the remarkable history of this legendary route that connected Rome to distant corners of its empire, offering a glimpse into its vital role in ancient commerce and military strategy.
Pause to marvel at landmarks like the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella and the Church of San Nicola a Capo di Bove, each steeped in history and surrounded by the enchanting Roman countryside.

Mario was an exceptional tour leader. He picked us up at our hotel, right on time, and gave us a fantastic tour! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He listened to what sites were important to us, gave recommendations along the way, and was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome. English was perfect. Everyone in our group heard him well. We all had an exceptional time. Thank you Mario!

Our family really liked this golf cart tour. Kristian did a great job explaining the sites that we visited and even sent us a list of his recommended restaurants. We did this on our last afternoon in Rome. We enjoyed riding in a golf cart since we had been walking a lot during the days prior. We were able to go to the catacombs which was a little chilly, quite nice on a hot afternoon.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted your family enjoyed the tour with Kristian, and we're glad the golf cart and the cool catacombs provided a relaxing break after days of exploring Rome on foot
Francesco M. was such a delightful guide, thorough, thoughtful, and excellent English! We could have stayed with him all day. We would book several other tours with him.
