It was an amazing way to get an overview of Rome. It was comfortable, fun and informative. Renato was a fantastic guide who was passionate, fun, knowledgeable and showed us some amazing sites that we never would have seen ourselves. Best use of travel money. Thanks Renato

Great way to get oriented to the city. We changed out plans based on what we saw and talked to the tour guide about.

Carting thru Rome

Loy_P, Jun 2026
Make this your day 1 activity! It’s a versatile way to see the layout of Rome, hit the highlights and then decide where you want to spend more time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun hitting any spot we wanted to see and giving us great insight on the city. We did ours during the day, but an evening tour would be nice also.

Best night tour, beautiful start to Rome Vacation

Jenn_K, Jun 2026
Dan Red is an amazing tour guide. He took us to all the beautiful sights seeing spots, and was full of information and great history! Seeing the sights at night was beautiful! Dan suggested places for dinner and gelato as well as some helpful travel tips to navigate Rome. Definitely a wonderful way to start our stay in Rome! 10/10 recommend!!

Rome in a Golf Cart

Wonderful experience. Our guide, Vito was very professional answered all our questions and made some costructive suggestions. It was a A+ experience.

So much fun

Micheal_D, Jun 2026
We had an amazing time on the night golf cart tour of Rome! Lisa was a fantastic guide—funny, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She kept us entertained the whole evening, and we laughed nonstop while learning so much about the city. Seeing Rome's famous sights beautifully illuminated at night was unforgettable, and we were able to take some incredible photos along the way. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Lisa, to anyone visiting Rome!

an amazing tour!

Peter_M, Jun 2026
we had a short time in Rome and would absolutely recommend this as a way to get to see all the major sites, get some history of neighborhoods, and get a great feel of the city in 3 hours! Marco, our guide, had tremendous knowledge of all the ancient buildings, neighborhoods, and more. He was an amazing guide and made us feel like we got even more value for the price!

Amazing Golf Cart Tour with Turtle Tours (Federico)

Chancellor_F, Jun 2026
Our family had an incredible experience with Federico and Turtle Tours in Rome. Federico created a completely customized tour that perfectly blended the city’s iconic landmarks with fascinating Roman history and authentic Italian culture. During our tour, we visited the Vatican, enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views of Rome, explored the beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, walked the Spanish Steps, and discovered countless hidden gems in between. What made the experience truly special was Federico’s knowledge, passion, and ability to bring Rome’s history to life while sharing insights into modern Italian culture. The tour was personalized, flexible, and paced perfectly for our family. Federico was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the highlights while also experiencing parts of Rome we never would have found on our own. If you’re looking for a private, customized tour of Rome, I highly recommend Federico and Turtle Tours. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy, and we would absolutely book with him again.

Exactly what we needed to get our bearings on Rome

Evan_B, Jun 2026
What a fantastic way to learn about and experience many of Rome’s highlights in a short amount of time. Our guide was excellent: attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging throughout the tour. We learned a great deal, had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome.

Fantastic way to see Rome!

Libuska_C, Jun 2026
My wife and I had a wonderful tour! We had plenty of time at each stop to take pictures and didn’t feel rushed at all. Lunch was amazing as well. We did this tour first during our holiday to visit the highlights of Rome so that we knew where to go back to for a longer visit. The tour driver was great at negotiating the busy streets and was very knowledgeable. This tour is highly recommend!

Highly recommend

Jill_D, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Sam was incredible. He has 14 years of knowledge as a tour guide. I highly recommend.

Great way to see a lot of Rome in just 3 hours!

Ryan_V, Jun 2026
Vito was so knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much as possible during our time together. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great experience...

Christy_C, Jun 2026
We had a great experience with Dan Red at Turtle Tours. Our tour guide picked us up from our hotel and enthusiastically showed us the main tourist areas of Rome. He knew all the best view points for the best views and pictures. We had jet lag terribly as we had just landed from the US, but he kept the atmosphere fun and upbeat to keep us awake! Highly recommend!

Golf Cart Tour Rome

Our guide was great! So knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Took us to a beautiful lookout of the entire city of Rome. I highly recommend!

Great tour

Angelo_G, Jun 2026
Very knowledged young man gave us so much information on this tour I would recommend to do it, it’s a great experience

Amazing Tour - wouldn’t do Rome any other way!

Karen_A, May 2026
Wow—thought this tour might have been a wee bit too much money but it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Sam was our driver—tour at 9:30 am. We customized our tour (which was on a Saturday) and had us promptly to the Trevi fountain BEFORE the crowds. He got us to every Rome landmark and was so professional and knowledgeable. We loved this tour and our guide, Sam! What an amazing experience!

Amazing Private Tour. Totally worth it!

Erika_R, May 2026
If you are going to see Rome, this is the way to do it! Such an amazing tour with a knowledgeable guide. Renato went above and beyond so we had the best experience. He not only gave recommendations but also provided a unique perspective and showed us a Rome we had not seen before. You can tell he loves Rome and is so excited to show travelers the best of the city. Totally worth it and would suggest taking this tour early on the trip.

We're so happy that we...

Mark_G, May 2026
We're so happy that we booked this as the first tour of our first visit to Rome. Biagio customized the route to avoid duplication with other booked tours that we had arranged. Although it seemed hectic at the time, we got in a lot of sightseeing in the 3 hour tour. Time well spent.

Great first night in Rome

Jennifer_N, May 2026
Great way to discover Rome! Dan Red was fantastic explaining the sites, best photo options, and history. Seeing Rome at night was amazing and Dan had so many great suggestions to make our Italy trip amazing even information on other parts we are visiting.

This tour was a great way...

Michelle_B, May 2026
This tour was a great way to see all the sites quickly and easily. This gave us the opportunity to learn what we would want to go back to see again on our last day. The guide was very nice and accommodating.

Best way for a quick tour!

pagodacook, May 2026
We only had one quick day in Rome so the golf cart tour was a perfect way to see a glimpse of all the popular places. Our tour guide Dan did a great job filling in historical facts about each site between stops and let us make a couple of stops for treats along the way. He customized it to our preferences which was great but I didn’t expect that so I had not done much research of the things I wanted to see other than the most obvious things. We would love to come again and visit a few of these sites in depth. We don’t speak Italian but Dan’s English was good enough that we could follow along. I will say it’s a better tour on a non-travel day when you aren’t tired, but we made the most of it! Cheers!

Great tour

Mark_W, May 2026
Great tour. Juamana is a great tour guide! We saw a lot of the top sites and were able to go at our own pace.

Marco was an amazing tour...

This was a very enjoyable...

Mary_J, May 2026
This was a very enjoyable tour. Our guide Aimen was very personable and took us to several places for sites we would never have found on our own. He was gracious with allowing us to take pictures. He knew the city well and the golf cart is great for getting around the city. We would highly recommend using him for a great tour of the city.

Highly recommend!

Lisa_B, May 2026
Renado was an excellent tour guide. Loved doing the tour in the evening seeing the sunset and cooler weather.

Great tour guide and was so informative and accommodating! Went above and beyond!

Angela_Y, May 2026
Fabulous tour! Driver showed up on time and really tailored the tour for our private group! Very informative and will book again!

Best way to see the Rome highlights

Audrey_P, May 2026
This was so much fun and a great way to see the highlights when you have limited time in the city! Our guide was excellent and gave us just the right amount of historical background and fun facts.

Dan our guide was very...

Carol_M, May 2026
Dan our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of local flavor. We enjoyed it tremendously and totally worth it!

Worth it!

Kristina_E, May 2026
We did this tour with a guide named Vito. He was great. Lots of information, fun and easy to be around, navigated the crazy driving there like a champ. Took us to places and gave suggestions we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of. Highly recommend!
