A golf cart tour of Rome is one of the best ways to explore the city, particularly for first timers or for those who want to cover as many landmarks as possible within the shortest possible time.

These golf cart tours are as comfortable as can be. By joining such a ride, you only need 3 to 7 hours to visit a wide array of the best things to see in Rome such as  Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona combined with the “tour of the ruins” which covers Colosseum (outside), the Spanish Steps, Castel Sant Angelo, St Peters Square, the ”trendy” Trastevere, Tiber Island, Pyramid of Cestius, Baths of Caracalla, Circus Maximus, Theatre of Marcellus, Aventine hill and the famous “key-hole”, the famous Appian Way (where the 6000 Gladiators where crucified in 71 BC, you will all remember Spartacus!)

Rome is a huge city packed with iconic landmarks, ruins, museums and more to explore. Instead of walking endless miles, consider seeing the sights from the comfort of your own private golf cart tour.

Companies offering golf cart rentals and tours are popping up across Rome to meet growing demand. These open-air vehicles provide easy transportation between top sites along with fun commentary from knowledgeable guides.

As there are many such tours available, in different lengths, different itineraries, and at different times of the day, you may become subject to information overload.
