What exactly do you see on the tour?
It depends on the length. In 1.5 hours: the Colosseum, the Vittoriano, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. In 3 hours you add the Roman Forum, the Capitoline Hill, the Quirinal, the Spanish Steps, the Pincian Terrace and Sant’Ignazio. In 6 hours also the Jewish Ghetto, Tiber Island, Trastevere, Castel Sant’Angelo and St Peter’s Square, with lunch at a trattoria.
How long is a golf-cart tour?
You can choose 1.5 hours (The Essential), 3 hours (The Grand Tour) or 6 hours (The Royal Day). Time runs from the hotel pickup to the drop-off.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. The routes are a guide, not a script. Tell your driver what you’ve already seen and what you’d love to see: you can change it during the tour too.
Are entrance tickets to the monuments included?
No. All visits are from the outside, from the cart or with short stops in front of the landmarks: no entrance ticket is needed and we don’t sell any. If you want to go inside a museum or the Colosseum, we can schedule the tour before or after your visit.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes, children love it: no walking, open air and the Colosseum up close. Children of all ages are welcome and count towards the 7 seats per cart.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation more than 24 hours before the start time, with a full refund within 5 to 10 working days. Later cancellations and no-shows are not refundable. You can change the date for free up to 24 hours before the start; in the last 24 hours it can no longer be changed.
Is the vehicle covered or open?
The golf cart has a roof and open sides, so you see everything and hear the city. If it rains we fit clear rain covers. It’s electric and silent.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes, and it’s free: we collect you at the door of your hotel or apartment anywhere in the historic centre and bring you back at the end. If you’re staying outside the centre, we meet at Via di Porta Pinciana 1, by the metro exit.
How many people can join a tour?
Up to 7 guests per cart, plus the driver-guide. For larger groups we send several carts in convoy, up to 96 guests, each with its own guide.
Does the guide speak English?
Yes. Tours run in English, Italian, French, Spanish or German: you choose the language when you book.
What should I bring?
Almost nothing: water is on board and your guide takes the photos. Comfortable shoes for the short stops, sunglasses and a hat in summer, a light jacket for evening tours.
Is the tour accessible to people with disabilities?
In most cases, yes. Getting in takes one low step of about 30 cm and you can see most landmarks without getting out. Our standard carts can’t carry wheelchairs. Write to us before booking and we’ll advise you honestly.
What happens if it rains?
Tours run in most weather: the carts have rain covers. In severe weather, such as thunderstorms or heat warnings, we reschedule for free or refund you in full.
How much does a golf-cart tour cost?
Prices are per cart, not per person, and include 2 guests: €180 for 1.5 hours, €280 for 3 hours and €420 for 6 hours. Each extra guest costs €30, €40 or €50 respectively.
How do I book?
Online in three steps: choose the tour and guests, then the day and time, then pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe. You get the confirmation by email right away. Prefer to talk to us? Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll book it together.
Is the tour really private?
Yes. The cart, the driver and the route are only for your group. We never mix guests from different bookings.
What if we’re running late?
Your guide waits up to 40 minutes past the pickup time. After that the tour counts as a no-show and is charged in full, with no refund. Message us as soon as you know you’re late so we can adjust.
Do you take cruise passengers?
Yes. For a day from Civitavecchia we organise the transfer to and from the port around your ship’s schedule. Message us on WhatsApp with your ship and date.
