Castel Sant'Angelo is one of Rome's most iconic fortresses, built as the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian and later transformed into a papal residence. It dominates the Tiber with its imposing circular silhouette, connected to the Vatican by the famous Passetto.
The Vatican is an independent city-state located within Rome, serving as the spiritual and administrative center of the Roman Catholic Church. It is home to the Pope and iconic sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. As the smallest state in the world, it holds immense religious and cultural significance.
(OPTIONAL) The Janiculum Fountain is one of Rome's most evocative viewpoints, immortalized in the opening scene of "The Great Beauty". From here your gaze embraces the entire Eternal City in a breathtaking view.
In the heart of Trastevere, the Peroni Store celebrates the historic Italian beer founded in 1846. A space where tradition and design meet — perfect for a short stop between shopping and discovering the story of a brand that symbolises Italian craftsmanship.
(OPTIONAL) The Aventine Keyhole is one of Rome's most fascinating secrets: through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta's door you can glimpse St. Peter's dome perfectly framed. A magical and surprising view.
The Circus Maximus was an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue located in the valley between the Palatine and Aventine hills in Rome. It was the largest stadium in ancient Rome, capable of holding up to 250,000 spectators. The site was primarily used for chariot races, public games, and festivals, and remains a significant historical landmark, although only traces of the original structure survive today.
Colosseo The Colosseum is the biggest Roman amphitheater. It could have hosted more than 50.000 people. Built under the Flavian Dynasty, construction started in 72 AD and was completed in 80 AD.
Piazza Venezia, at the heart of Rome, boasts the iconic Altare della Patria. This grand square pulsates with history, offering a striking blend of ancient and modern architecture. The imposing Vittoriano monument dominates, symbolizing Italy's unity. Surrounded by historic structures like Palazzo Venezia, it serves as a vibrant hub, connecting the city's past with its present. The lively atmosphere and strategic location near key landmarks make Piazza Venezia an essential starting point for exploring Rome's rich cultural tapestry.
Fontana di Trevi Admire the magnificent Trevi Fountain, the most famous fountain in the world. Don't forget to throw a coin in the fountain for good luck...
The Pantheon in Rome, a marvel of ancient engineering, stands as a testament to Roman architectural brilliance.

Originally a temple dedicated to all gods, the Pantheon's enduring legacy draws visitors to marvel at its grandeur and historical significance, making it a timeless symbol of Rome's cultural heritage.
(OPTIONAL) The Mouth of Truth is one of Rome's most famous legends, carved in the marble of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. Made famous by the film "Roman Holiday", it continues to fascinate visitors from all over the world.

Very good experience with Simone. All mains sites seen in 1.5hr. Very convenient, especially when it’s super hot
We were sat at the back and couldn’t hear a thing. We didn’t go to the colosseum because the guide said it was closed but I had a friend visiting it at the time so I knew it wasn’t true. We saw a fair bit but no historical commentary . Guide did not seem to enjoy it. I get it, it’s his job and tourists can be annoying but I felt like we were an inconvenience.
Erfan was a fabulous tour guide! We saw so much and it was the perfect tour for kids. He is very knowledgeable and he's got such a fun personality. He was a very safe driver and made great recommendations for snacks and photo ops along the way!! It was a wonderful experience!
We are extremely disappointed in our Luxurbe Rome City golf cart booking. We had booked AND paid for a hotel pickup and dropoff. Luxurbe changed the booking such that we had to find our way to their tour pickup and find our way home from that spot as well. That, in itself, is not a deal breaker but what is frustrating is that we paid extra for the pickup/dropoff and when Luxurbe changed the plan, they did not reimburse us for that extra option despite reaching out to them 3 times. It's just simple customer service to respond to your client, and would have been the right thing to reimburse for a service that you didn't provide. The tour itself was okay, and our guide was okay - not much narration during the tour and very little insights provided.
We were excited for this tour, but it turned into a frustrating, expensive mess. A music festival was happening right at the pickup spot, which the vendor never mentioned. That created traffic we had no way to anticipate for what should’ve been a short trip. We messaged through the app as soon as we realized we’d be late, but got no response. When we were 5 minutes out, the vendor called us directly. We explained the situation and they said it was fine. We arrived right at that mark, and my son ran ahead to flag down a golf cart that was pulling away. He gave our family name to the driver, who told us to wait — then drove off anyway. We waited 20 more minutes with no contact. I tried calling back on the same number that had just called us, and couldn’t get through. When we followed up afterward, the vendor was unapologetic and refused a refund — despite us doing everything we could to communicate in real time. If you’re going to run pickups near a major event, tell customers to plan for extra time, and actually answer your phone or app messages when people are trying to reach you. We missed the tour through no fault of our own and were still charged in full.
We had the best time and learned so much during our tour. Our guide went above and beyond throughout the whole tour to ensure we were all happy.
We had the best time and learned so much from our amazing tour guide!
Our guide Dino was excellent. We had two teenagers with us, and it was simmering hot. The golf cart turned out to be the perfect option. He not only took us to the main attractions but also to less touristy places we wouldn’t otherwise have visited, including spots with great views of the city of Rome. It was a wonderful, memorable tour.
Great way to see the city including the small streets plus an informed guide Saw all the major sites
Simon our guide was great, and took extra care with our family in the heat. We had young kids with us and he made extra stops for shade and gelato. Highly recommend this as a great way to see Rome 🙌
