Amazing experience! Margarita, our guide, was absolutely amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history, and delivered it in a fun and interesting way! 10/10 would recommend. You get to see the sights without all of the laborious trekking to each location. We did a tour with the same company earlier in the day and we liked it so much that we booked this tour to the catacombs!

By far the very best tour we have ever done. Our guide Nick, who is originally from the States, was both academically and culturally at a college professor level. And there is absolutely. o better way to get around Rome and up through the Apian Way than by golf cart. The tour of the Catacombs was handed of to an Archeologist who was also well schooled in the subject. Setting up and the meeting place was also handled professional y. Absolutely worth every Euro spent and was happy to add a tip.

This was a fabulous tour! Our guide was excellent and helped me view things from the past through Roman eyes! He answered all my questions, even questions about Roman things outside our tour! Highly recommend!
marcie_l, May 2026
Our guide was very personable and very very knowledable . You could tell that the history of the area is a passion for him. There is a separate guide for the Catacimbs and she was also fantastic . Had a Doctorate degree in history . Really great tour

Fantastic tour! The Appian Way, Colosseum, Aurelian Walls, and Circus Maximus were highlights for us. Having heard about the oldest Roman road in throughout school getting to walk on it and see it firsthand was incredible. Aurelio was our guide and he answered all our questions while providing us with information about Rome. This tour was such an enjoyable way to see the city and dive deeper into its history. Aurelio was top-notch and the afternoon tour we took with him exceeded our expectations. He expertly navigated us through the city on the electric golf cart and we were able to relax and just take it all in. Highly recommend this tour and Aurelio! Would absolutely book another tour with him. This tour gave us a nice overview of the more popular historical sites in Rome while also encompassing the catacombs and the Santa Maria in Palmis church with lots of beautiful nature along the way. The tour was exactly what we wanted to kickoff our trip to Rome.

Good experience, great guides! Only thing to improve was the radios for communication. Very scratchy sometimes. I would definitely book thi tour to see the catacombs, and Va Apipia as well as the normal sites. 5 stars
Carol_M, May 2026
Nick the tour guide was awesome! He made us feel very welcome, and was so knowledgeable about the history of what we experienced. He appeared as though he really enjoys what he does. I really like going on the golf cart but did lose some reception when we were all the way in the back of both carts. It might be best to keep it to one golf cart, or improve the reception. Appreciated rotating seats with other tourists during the 3 hour tour and with Nick changing carts. Also appreciated receiving a bottle of water at the beginning of the tour.
Ali_G, May 2026
Outstanding experience! Had no idea we would see so much. The guide was exceptional, he told the story of the history we were seeing, made it come to life in a very meaningful way. The golf carts were very clean and modern. Safe with seat belts and accommodating with sealed bottled water. Absolutely worth doing this tour! Do not miss it if in Rome.
Tyler_J, May 2026
The tour was great! My tour guide really was the most fun part of the tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable but also made it SUPER fun! I highly recommend this tour!
Mandy_A, May 2026
Our guide Antonella was friendly and knowledgeable about key Roman sites. She was enthusiastic about sharing the history of Rome, the aqueducts and catacombs.
Richard_L, May 2026

Depending where you start it’s a pretty good walk up a long hills. Once there the guides were very helpful & information received was great.
John_C, Apr 2026
Great opportunity to experience the Appian Way and historical landmarks without a bicycle or large group tour in a coach.
Robert_E, Apr 2026
Our tour guide Margarita was wonderful. She navigated the streets of Rome with skill while sharing tons of knowledge with us. She was also very safety conscious around all the traffic which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this tour.
Janette_B, Apr 2026
Federico is possibly the best tour guide of any guide—ever! He makes the people of the past come alive so that you see their perspectives on life. And since so much of Rome is about history, this was better than I could have hoped. While the catacombs and the Appian way are interesting, and the golf cart was fun, the best memories will be in better understanding of the history of how Christianity developed as it did in the Roman Empire.
Curtis_R, Apr 2026
This tour was one of our favorites of our trip! Our tour guide was Antonella and she was awesome the entire time! She was very energetic and so knowledgeable of everything! ASK FOR HER, you won’t regret it!!
Peter_H, Apr 2026
Excellent visit to Roman catacombs. The whole experience was first class and I would highly recommend it. As well as the catacombs, we visited several interesting sights along the via Appia. Our guide, Federico, was great. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and a great driver. The golf cart was an ideal way to see parts of Rome beyond the city centre.
Terry_A, Apr 2026
The golf cart experience was very comfortable. We could not have done the bike tour. We not only saw the Appian Way and Catacombs, but also many sites of Rome on the Way to the Appian Way. The guide. Federico, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing. We appreciate his sincerity and respect for the Christian experience.

Sylvia and this entire tour is fantastic. Loved every minute. Even when my mom was cold she jumped out and put down her shield.
Frank_H, Apr 2026
This tour was the highlight of our visit to Rome. It certainly was a "small group"-- just us and one other couple! The golf cart was a novel way to get around, and enabled us to get great views of all the sights as we drove about. The catacombs and the Appian Way provided us with new insights into some fascinating Roman history. Nick was an exceptional guide-- very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.
Lori_F, Mar 2026
We loved our guide and this tour so much. Don’t save it until your last day as the guide gives great recommendations and key information on sites around the Colosseum. It’s relaxing as you ride on the golf cart, guide was great and from the US and we really enjoyed the whole experience and learned so much and saw so many additional ruins. Highly recommend.
Donald_F, Mar 2026
Wonderful golf cart tour experience with Silvia. She arrived at the tour company’s soon to be new location (which isn’t marked in any way) 15-minutes before the start of the tour. The golf cart was clean and ready for the forecasted occasional rain and cooler temperature. Silvia was friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the history and sights we saw. She did a fabulous job of navigating extremely busy traffic, keeping us on time for scheduled sites at the catacombs, and keeping us safe at the same time. We covered a lot of ground and saw many things. We even got a rainbow while passing Circo di Massenzio. The catacomb was amazing. The churches were beautiful and fascinating. A tour that is well worth the time and the price. Highly recommended.
Bonnita_B, Mar 2026
Wonderful trip!! Loved the tour Arvn was amazing!! Catacombs were very interesting and loved the history!
Roger_S, Mar 2026
We were kept well informed by a highly trained tour guide which made for a very pleasurable morning.
Roisin_F, Mar 2026
A highlight of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it and our guide Frederico was knowledgeable, attentive and passionate about Rome and helping you get to know it a little better. We loved the golf buggy experience. It made it all so easy but you still felt outside and part of the experience.
Brent_G, Mar 2026
This was a great trip. Our guide Nick had extensive knowledge of the trip and of Rome in general. Great day.
