THE MYSTERIOUS SIDE OF ROME: Private Golf-Cart Tour
Description
Let us take you to the discovery of Rome's ancient secrets, hidden in its churches, in its narrow alleys, under the surface of the polished squares and fountains... Get ready for a private golf-cart tour that will show you a new, different side of Rome's iconic landmarks. Please notice that the itinerary can be subject to last minute modifications caused by extraordinary closing hours, art maintenance works, and religious celebrations. We will make sure to craft an extraordinary itinerary for you no matter what! This tour includes entrance to Catholic Churches , where a modesty dress-code is enforced: please bring along a shawl or a jacket, and notice that the church staff may deny entrance to both men and women with above-the-knees and/or revealing clothes. *DISCLAIMER: Please notice that your tour leader might have to stay with the vehicle, hence it's not guaranteed that they will accompany you inside. Reminder: it is forbidden to share information / speak inside churches.

One of Rome's most famous squares - and yet, sometimes mysteries hide in plain sight! We will share with you the secrets of the "twin" churces (but are they really identical?), of the echo around the square, and much more...
This little church, a true hidden gem of Rome, displays the chains that held Saint Peter captive both in Jerusalem and in Rome - and yet, it became famous for something else: the spectacular statue of Moses by Michelangelo is here, with a little peculiarity... come see it for yourself!
France's national church is ready to show you its wonderful masterpieces - starting from its breathtaking façade (a few steps away from the ancient Pantheon), all the way to the Chapel of St. Louis (the first Chapel entirely designed by a woman!), and to Contarelli Chapel's three incredible paintings by Caravaggio. The Church offers free entrance during the day. Disclaimer: please notice that this stop may be modified based on religious holidays, national and bank holidays, and/or road closures.
Speaking of mysteries and illusions... Saint Ignatius' ceiling will take your breath away with its spectacular "false perspective". But, if everybody stops at the first part of the ceiling, we will keep going to show you something not everybody notices...
Did you know that this ancient Roman, pagan temple ... is actually a Catholic Church? And, even before all that, this area hosted an Egyptian sacred complex ...
If you were to see if from above, you would be amazed by the peculiar shape of this square - did you know it was originally built as the Stadium of Domitians, and that the ruins are still partially visible...?

This experience was super. Luisa is knock your socks off great . Not only can she drive in Rome, she can tell you about the history at the same time. She has magical parking karma , so if you are not a big walker no issue. The churches were over the top, Gothic, Renaissance, middle aged , and GOLD! a Michelangelo statue close up as well as Carravagios . The fiat Tippolino is the cutest car ever and cool , no AC needed. Thumbs and toes UP! No need to be catholic to enjoy this outing
Dear Carol, thank you so much for your extremely kind words! We are delighted to learn that your private Topolino Dolcevita tour exceeded your expectations - and I agree with you, Roman churches are totally amazing and worth the trip!

Warm regards, Fun Moving
This was a fantastic way to visit some of the most beautiful and important Catholic Churches in Rome. Our guide was fantastic and even slightly modified the original agenda so we could see another one of the Major Basilicas. Ours kids really enjoyed the golf cart ride too!

Our guide took us literally anywhere we wanted and delivered us back to our hotel. He was knowledgeable about the city, churches, and other experiences. Highly recommend!
Our guide name was Antonio and he was tremendous. Very familiar with the area and we saw a lot. Very knowledgeable about Roman history. Highly recommend.. one of our family members who was with us was an amputee. He was extremely helpful with her and made the trip that much better.

We were picked up at our apartment on time in a very comfortable golf cart. Because this is an "off the beaten path" tour, we were able to customize our trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice (and easy on the eyes!) LOL. One of the best days in Rome!!!!
good morning Kathleen, we are happy that you have been able to spend pleasant hours having a positive experience in the company of Gianluca, thanks for your comment, see you soon, have a good day
