So much fun!

Lauren_M, Jan 2026

This was an insane amount of fun! Zipping along on the back of a golf cart while getting a brief history lesson as we left the city of Rome, was one of the highlights of our trip. The museum offered a wealth of treasures and the views were worth the climb to the top. The catacombs themselves are a solemn and beautiful experience - one that we will not forget.

We thought the tour was...

Kenneth_K, Feb 2025

We thought the tour was excellent. Enjoyed the “open-air” of the golf cart. Kelly was knowledgeable and took care to see that we had a good time. Would recommend both the tour and the tour guide.

Wonderful tour by golf cart!

Walt_S, Apr 2024

Our tour guide was beyond excellent! He was very prompt in meeting us on time and gave us an excellent tour and explanation of everything beyond what we had expected! He was very courteous and friendly! It was so exciting to be in Rome and tour by golf cart! We highly recommend this tour and our guide!

Amazing historical tour

david_m, Apr 2024

This was an amazing tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Rome area and very knowledgeable about the church’s history in Rome. We never knew that the catacombs were that extensive. Over 200,000 graves underground. Only 1% are available to walk through.

Easy way to see less common sites

Lisa_H, Feb 2024

This tour stops at places not easy to access without a car, like the museum of the wall and tha mausoleum of Cecilia. It didn't require a lot of walking either. The driver was very professional and knew a lot about the places we stopped, and also things we passed along the way.

Exceptional guide! Fantastic way to see the Appian Way!

Sandy, Dec 2023

A fantastic outing with a wonderful, kind, informed guide who owns his business and went out of the way to show us special things that were honestly more of a highlight than the catacombs. Had we had this guide earlier in our trip, I definitely would have booked some of his other tours!

Most Memorable Tour

James_Z, Nov 2023

This was the best tour of our entire 6 day visit to Rome! Andrea was a fabulous tour guide! His extensive knowledge of Roman history & art made the city & the Appian Way come alive. We saw & learned so much in 3 hours. We visited the Catacombs of Callixtus, the Tomb of Romulus, Circus Maxentius, & the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella. Andrea even took us to the beautiful hidden Grotto of Egeria. The golf car was comfortable, & the pick up & drop off were perfect. My husband & I truly thank this company & especially Andrea for sharing his knowledge & passion with us. We will remember it always. If you’re interested in Ancient Rome, don’t hesitate to book this tour!

amazing tour guide

Nicole_J, Sep 2023

the young man we toured with was amazing. so delightful and intelligent. he showed us more than we expected the whole tour was fantastic. I will be using his services again. thank you so much.

Don't miss this tour!

Stephanie_N, May 2023

Our guide Andrea was stellar and our driver navigated through Rome traffic in a golf cart with skill! Perfect tour, saw the Appian Way, catacombs, ruins, Roman walls, drove through beautiful neighborhoods. Just the right amount of stops, Andrea was so knowledgeable but talks about history like your conversing with friends, not "tour guide" who just recites facts. Our best memory this trip! Don't miss this tour.

This is an excellent tour

Mark_C, Oct 2022

Best decision to do the golf cart tour! Our driver and guide were lovely and very friendly and informative I would highly recommend this tour they added value by talking history the entire trip so we saw more than just catacombs they stopped at churches and ruins for us to explore door to door service too!
