Jimmy took us to lots of well known and hidden spots- he recommended a great gelato spot and our dinner restaurant. This was an excellent way to start our trip- we were tired from traveling so the riding around was a perfect way to get our bearings and an overview without fatiguing ourselves. My teenagers enjoyed it too!

Great 👍 tour! If you want to experience an authentic tour by a real local guide, this is the one. We had a very nice ride viewing all the best that the city of Rome can offer. Highly recommended.

Overview

Rome’s historic center sprawls across a large area, making it time-consuming to navigate on foot. Go where bigger vehicles can’t on this highlights tour by a maneuverable golf cart that offers wraparound views through its open sides. See highlights such as Vatican City, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps, while your driver immortalizes your experience with photos. Upgrade to add round-trip transfers from select central Rome hotels.
  • Enjoy panoramic views of Rome from the Pincio Gardens
  • There’s no need to bring the selfie stick—your driver captures photos
  • An electric golf cart is a cleaner, greener choice than gas-powered vehicles
  • Flexible itinerary adapts to the weather, season, and any access constraints

We had the opportunity to have Matt as our tour guide. He was very hospitable and knowledgeable of the history of Rome. Explained things very well and was able to interact well with our group on a personal level. Highly recommend the golf city tour!

Best layover tour in rome

Brice_C, Oct 2026
Best pick up point if your on a layover as the taxi stand is on the other of the tour pick up point (only take white color taxi, this is the ones at the airport) My guide was on time and very informative about Rome. We enjoyed riding in the golf cart as we pick the seats facing outwards towards the traffic making the city feel alive thank you. Oh yeah the golf carts are best because we got to ride the back blocks and alley ways where there was only foot traffic

David was wonderful!...

Stella_K, Sept 2026
David was wonderful! Knowledgeable, good sense of humor, patient. Gave us a fun tour of Rome, felt like I saw everything I needed to see. Highly recommend

Uncomfortable/ non- informative

Lisa_V, Sept 2026
Do not sit in the rear facing golf cart. It is too bumpy and you cannot see sights as the driver is describing.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the rear-facing seating configuration did not meet your personal comfort and visibility preferences. Golf carts may include both forward-facing and rear-facing passenger seats as part of their standard configuration. On shared tours, a specific seating orientation cannot always be guaranteed. We appreciate your comments and hope you nevertheless enjoyed seeing Rome during the experience. Kind regards, Luxurbe Team

Thank you for the wonderful tour!

A great start to our Rome vacation

michael_n, Sept 2026
A wonderful overview of the highlights of Rome. Provides a great behind the scenes look at places you will want to explore further. Luca Romano was an excellent guide, providing historical and cultural information. I would highly recommend this tour.

All of Rome in 3 hours

glenn_b, Sept 2026
Best way to get full city overview in a short time. Best driver ever. Found way around all the traffic and was so knowledgeable and fun

A fun way to see the major sights of Rome

Barbara_H, Sept 2026
This was a great way to see Rome. My husband and I have been to Rome several times and just wanted an overview of the main sights. The three hours flew by . Our guide Jimmy was very helpful and enthusiastic. We were given 20 minutes to get out of the golf cart at each stop to explore on our own. A highlight of the tour was St Peter’s Square where the Pope was giving a Papal Audience to a crowd of visitors.

Not impressed

Colin_M, Sept 2026
We booked a vehicle for 6 of us to have the tour.( which are available as we saw a lot on our tour) They split us up 3 and 3 into two different carts that carried 5 …. The son and mother that Hd been added to our cart got lost at one of the stops and we had to wait an hour extra 20 minutes till they found us. Our driver Simon drove like a maniac … squealing tires as we went around corners at high speed feeling like we were going to fall out . He barely spoke about any of the sites we saw and when he did we couldn’t hear as the very back speakers didn’t work. Our 2 vehicles didn’t stop at the same places on the same times and one missed the last stop all together. As one of our group was the wife of one of their group they didn’t get to experience any of it together… we did cover a lot of ground and saw some amazing sites it was a good way to do the trip of 3 hrs . Just wish we all could have been together and not feared for our lives at every turn

Great Excursion!

Diane_C, Sept 2026
This is a great way to see Rome and the highlights. We had a great time touring the city without having 50 people with us. Fabio was fabulous!

Amazing

Jessica_K, Sept 2026
Augustus was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about all the locations we stopped at and gave us plenty of time to take pictures at the main sites. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Terrible experience- will never book with VIATOR AGAIN

Brandi_M, Sept 2026
Do not book this tour! The tour guide was 39 minutes late and didn’t take us to highlights at all. We ended up leaving an hour early due to it being such a waste of our time. When we told Viator about this- they refused to credit us back! Even though they are the ones who called and told us the tour was running 30 mins late and they knew we had 2 small kids. DO NOT BOOK THIS.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Dear Brandi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that the delayed departure affected your experience. As you mentioned, you were informed in advance that the tour was running late. We also note that your group chose to leave the experience approximately one hour before its scheduled conclusion. As a result, the full itinerary could not be completed. Regarding the refund request, this was handled through Viator according to the applicable booking and refund conditions. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Kind regards, Luxurbe Team

Golf Cart Tour

Jacques_P, Sept 2026
Good way to see Rome. Great overview in only three hours. Unfortunately our tour guide was almost impossible to understand in English.

Wonderful

Sheri_M, Sept 2026
Wonderful private tour. Our guide Erne was so very knowledgeable and we had a fabulous time. Definitely recommend

Rome's Back Seat

Antoine_J, Sept 2026
Luca was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and accommodating to our wishes, adjusting times so we can see alll the things we wanted and needed to see. My only "ding" is that given we didn't book a private tour, we was paired with another couple, and my wife and I got the back seats, facing backwards. So when Luca was pointing out sites, we were not seeing them at the same time, nor from the head on angle. So avoid that seat or ask for a bigger car where 4 ppl can face front. Other than that the ride was comfortable. Oh, make sure you have a refillable water bottle.

Amazing guide

mguerrawalters, Sept 2026
Sam was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and friendly showing all the important sights Would definitely recommend him.

Was overall good...

DeeAnn_T, Sept 2026
Was overall good experience but the tour guide needed to have a mic as we couldn’t hear what he said.

Alex was incredible!

Jody_K, Aug 2026
We had a short stay in Rome before heading out on a cruise. This tour was the best way to see everything we wanted with ease and in one day! Would recommend if you want to get a lot done in a short time. Alex was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us!!!

What a hoot!

Thomas_M, Aug 2026
We had a free afternoon in Rome and were looking for a low-stress way to see the sites. This wonderful golf cart tour was perfect for us. Andy, our guide, was personable and a great driver through the chaos of Rome. Pacing and length of tour were just right. We saw the Spanish Steps, St. Peter's Square, the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountail, etc all while zipping around town. There were stops made at each of the sites for some quick individual exploration. Super fun!

Great tour

debra_k, Aug 2026
Augusto was extremely knowledgeable throughout the tour. Had a great day and would highly recommend this

Jimmy knew all the back...

Andrea_T, Aug 2026
Jimmy knew all the back streets and parking places to get us up close to everywhere. Would have also appreciated a commentary on where we were along the way. We were able to walk around spots for 10 mins or so and google information but I had thought this would be part of the experience on the tour Good way to see places without all the walking on a hot day. Thanks

The cart was 10 min late at the pick up .Robero was nice,but hardly even talked to us. On his phone even while driving.j

Lynda_W, Aug 2026
When no one was showing up I kept trying to call Viatar. To many options and never the right one for us.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Lynda, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you found Roberto pleasant, although we regret that the level of interaction did not meet your expectations. A short delay can occasionally occur in central Rome due to traffic and road conditions. Regarding your attempts to make contact, your review specifically refers to difficulties reaching Viator through its telephone system, which is managed directly by the booking platform and is outside the operator's control. Your comments regarding the driver's communication during the experience have been noted and will be reviewed internally. Kind regards, Luxurbe Team

Great way to see the city

Karyn_H, Aug 2026
What a great way to see a lot of the city, especially on an hot day. Our guide, Dino, was fantastic. He was flexible in where he took us depending on where we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable and personable. His English was very good. If you are ever in Rome, definitely take this tour.

Convenient pick up and...

Kim_S, Aug 2026
Convenient pick up and drop off. Accommodating to our preferences and needs! Driver was fun and friendly!

Amazing!

lisa_T, Aug 2026
Sa was amazingly interesting about local culture history and the people of Roma he took the time to explain the multiple sites we visited during our stay the golf cart was clean and the family with us had young children he took time to engage the tour with. I’d highly recommend this tour -we didn’t have much time in Rome to begin with and after a long flight this was much better way to see Rome than a blaring tour in 100degree weather

Our guide Sevada was...

sweta_p, Aug 2026
Our guide Sevada was incredibly informative, and she clearly knew what she was doing when she explained St. Peter’s Basilica. The church itself is breathtaking full of history, art, and spiritual meaning. The kids really enjoyed her too, especially her fun little pop quiz. I would definitely recommend her.

Golf cart tour

Martha_B, Aug 2026
It was a great way to see many sights around Rome! Our guide was very informative and friendly. We really enjoyed it!

The tour was excellent....

Eleonora_B, Aug 2026
The tour was excellent. The driver spoke English very well. He took us to places that are less touristy and we got to see places we never would alone.

Worth It for time pressed visitors

Edward_B, Aug 2026
Wonderful experience, got up close to many major Rome attractions and driver took photos of us, recommended for those with only 1 day to see Rome

Rome via Golf Cart

scott_j, Aug 2026
Great way to see all the sights in Rome! Traveled around and saw the major sites with ease. You can then return on subsequent days and explore in more detail.

Didn’t bother to turn up or contact us

Neil_I, Aug 2026
They didn’t show up waited for over an hour in the blistering sun. Rang the organiser and was told they would call us back, they didn’t and eventually after another 30 mins managed to contact them to be given a ridiculous story that the driver had an accident. We were at location when all the golf carts arrived stood with another 15-16 people and it was one of there own drivers who gave us the contact number and admitted this has happened before. Take my advice pay a bit extra and go with someone else who will not spoil your day in Rome.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that unforeseen operational circumstances prevented your tour from taking place as planned. As you mention, you were informed that the driver had been involved in an accident. The safety of our guests, drivers, and all road users must always take priority over the continuation of a scheduled tour. We are also unable to verify the statements attributed to another individual regarding previous experiences, as these constitute second-hand information rather than facts directly experienced by you. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Luxurbe Team
