Learn about the history and cultural significance of Roman pasta recipes and how they’ve shaped Italian cuisine.

20 min

Visit the legendary Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and one of the largest entertainment venues of its time. Imagine the roar of the crowds as you take in the vast open space that once hosted thrilling races and grand spectacles. From here, enjoy a stunning view of the Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome, and hear captivating stories about the games, emperors, and history of this iconic site. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a moment to soak in the grandeur of ancient Rome.

Pass by

Before reaching Testaccio, you’ll pass the Theatre of Marcellus, an ancient Roman theater often referred to as the “younger brother” of the Colosseum. Your guide will explain its historical significance and current state.

Food options and recommendations from Mario were on point.

Some highlights: getting quick gelato, great carbonara Got a your of the Trinity steps and the fashion district Some history of Roma and its origins Great mix of history and authentic Roman food One tip - if you travel as a group, try all the available food options, sometimes the least likely dish is the best!

Wonderful golf cart tour with the BEST tour guide

I cannot say enough about our tour guide - Matteo. He spoke very good English, was very accomodating and ensured he followed and provided everything that was offered on this tour. I would use this tour company again and definitely hope for someone as wonderful as Matteo. Tour was on Thursday, May 14, 20206.

Fabulous food tour

We chose a food trip on a golf buggy because of mobility issues of one member of the group. We were picked up directly from our hotel which was very helpful. We visited an amazing cafe for coffee and pastries, before going on to the market and finally to a restaurant for a delicious pasta lunch. Our guides Eva and Nico made the experience all the more enjoyable, they were knowledgeable and friendly and a pleasure to send time with. Would recommend this trip, especially with Eva & Nico, to anyone wishing to sample delicious food and wine whilst seeing some of the beautiful sights of Rome on the journey

Operator response

What a delightful review! It is so heartening to hear that our golf cart tour provided the perfect solution for your group's mobility needs, as we believe everyone should experience the flavors of Rome without barriers. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the journey from that first aromatic sip of coffee to the very last bite of pasta, all while taking in the city's breathtaking backdrop. Eva and Nico are a fantastic team, and they will be overjoyed to know that their passion for Roman culture and cuisine made your day so memorable. It was truly our pleasure to pick you up at your doorstep and introduce your family to our favorite local haunts. Thank you for the glowing recommendation, and we hope the memories of those Roman delicacies stay with you until we can host you again for another delicious adventure!
