Yes, the Trevi Fountain is well worth visiting: It's been a symbol of Rome since long before Anita Ekberg danced in it for La Dolce Vita. The legend goes that if you throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, you will return to Rome—and if you drink from the Lovers' Fountain, you will remain forever faithful. City tours that visit other Rome signature sights are a great way to experience the fountain—look for options with transportation, as this historic city sprawls.

Per one customer who booked the Rome Highlights by Golf Cart Private Tour, "Cristian was truly exceptional—warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment we started, he made the entire outing feel personal, sharing tailored insights and stories that made every stop more meaningful. What really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating he was, given that I was traveling with my elderly mother, who has mobility issues. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and personalized way to explore the area!"
