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!

I purchased and made a reservation to be picked up my hotel. Then I got an email saying they called me but did not answer. They did not call. I called Viator to find out what was going on. Viator told me I had to get to the pickup point on my own. I said that did work for me. They would not refund my money and they did not pick me up at the hotel.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We regret that the hotel pick-up arrangements did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify that our hotel pick-up service is available only within a designated operational area, as specified in the booking conditions. When a requested accommodation falls outside this area, guests are required to reach the designated meeting point.
As your review acknowledges, alternative meeting instructions were provided through the booking process. Unfortunately, you were unable to accept these arrangements.
We understand your disappointment, but the circumstances described concern a pre-tour pick-up and booking dispute rather than the quality of the sightseeing experience itself.
Kind regards,
Luxurbe Team
This was a bucket list must do for my elderly mother and family. We were so excited to be going on this. We paid for and we're promised an English speaking guide. What transpired was a 3 wheeled cart showed up. None of us are small people, we got into the cart, it was unbalanced and sitting on the wheels scraping. The driver felt unsafe and we definitely did as well. He also did not speak English. So what happened... Turning corners I was hit in the head with the metal bar on the side of the cart a few times over. When we hit a bump my knees were slammed into the metal bars in front of me. I have bruises on my ear and my knees both. At our stops our driver said a name of the place in Italian which we didn't understand. Thankfully the driver of the other cart gave us a much info AFTER we got out of the cart that he could to still allow us a few minutes to visit. They tried to change passengers with a 4 wheeled cart but could not do so. So as we followed them the whole cart group in front of us knew there was a weight issue on the 3 wheeled cart and they were laughing every time the cart hit the ground which was very embarrassing to our group. Mind you overweight yes, but no one extremely large. To be humiliated like this was unacceptable. The safety of us and our driver was at stake. It was a scary ride. Needless to say this trip that we were so looking forward to was not enjoyable at all. I didn't even know we seen the Vatican as they called it by another name. Yes we got some pictures but that was it. Not what we paid for. Is recommend the company consider weight restrictions for the 3 wheeled cars. The bruises on my body and the humiliation were not worth it. All is this was after they bumped us out 3.5 hours then we're late to pick us up and we ended up seeing the sights in the dark. Very dissatisfied with it all. The driver and the guide did the best they could and were very polite but the company did not offer a replacement cart!!!!! I hope you all get the vacation you hoped for as well did not. My 76 year old mother wouldn't even get off the cart because of the situation!!!!

Dear Melissa,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, particularly as this was an important occasion for your family.
We take all concerns regarding passenger safety and comfort seriously. Our vehicles operate according to specific capacity and safety requirements, and any reported incidents deserve appropriate verification.
Regarding the language arrangements, we would like to clarify that English-language commentary was provided during the experience by another member of our team, as your review acknowledges. While we understand that you would have preferred continuous explanations from your assigned driver, it would be inaccurate to suggest that no English-language assistance was available.
We also appreciate your acknowledgment that both the driver and the accompanying guide were polite and made efforts to assist your group.
We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations and remain available to review the circumstances through our customer care channels.
Kind regards,
Dino was fabulous! He showed us all the sights of Rome as was very knowledgeable! It was an incredible way to see the city!
Paulo was great but this was a little Pricey for what it was especially because you had such little time at each place
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! Knowledgeable, good sense of humor, patient. Gave us a fun tour of Rome, felt like I saw everything I needed to see. Highly recommend
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,

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.

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,

Good way to see Rome. Great overview in only three hours. Unfortunately our tour guide was almost impossible to understand in English.
Wonderful private tour. Our guide Erne was so very knowledgeable and we had a fabulous time. Definitely recommend
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.
Sam was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and friendly showing all the important sights Would definitely recommend him.
Was overall good experience but the tour guide needed to have a mic as we couldn’t hear what he said.
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!!!
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!
Augusto was extremely knowledgeable throughout the tour. Had a great day and would highly recommend this
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
When no one was showing up I kept trying to call Viatar. To many options and never the right one for us.

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
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 drop off. Accommodating to our preferences and needs! Driver was fun and friendly!
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 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.
It was a great way to see many sights around Rome! Our guide was very informative and friendly. We really enjoyed it!
