Golf Cart tour with English speaking driver guide (3h/5h)
Description
An Exclusive private and customisable tour. The tour includes an English speaking driver-guide who will take you to discover Rome's most important historical sites. The driver will wait for you in the vehicle while you visit the sites you stop at and will not accompany you inside the archaeological or historical-artistic sites. The price for the guide is not included in the tour. You can ask our office to book a local tour guide who will accompany you for a three-hour guided tour inside the sites. Your licensed tour guide will hop-off the vehicle with you at each stop and walk you through the attractions to provide the most complete insights of every attraction. The extra cost for the guide is €250 in cash to be paid on the day of the tour. You will start your tour at your hotel. Due to the low speed of the golf carts, your tour must necessarily begin inside the Aurelian Walls. At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your hotel.

Itinerary
Overview. Your tour guide will give you all the information from the outside of the most famous ancient monument of Rome.
It is the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history and, since the 7th century it is a church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs. The price of the tickets is Eur 7,00 per person cash
The monumental stairway of 174 steps built by French diplomat Étienne Gueffier’s bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1726 linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy, and the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, both located above to the Holy See in Palazzo Monaldeschi located below. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
The largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi.
The open space which lies before the basilica was redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini from 1656 to 1667, under the direction of Pope Alexander VII, as an appropriate forecourt, designed "so that the greatest number of people could see the Pope give his blessing, either from the middle of the façade of the church or from a window in the Vatican Palace" Bernini had been working on the interior of St. Peter's for decades; now he gave order to the space with his renowned colonnades, using a simplified Doric order, to avoid competing with the palace-like façade by Carlo Maderno, but he employed it on an unprecedented colossal scale to suit the space and evoke a sense of awe.
One of the most beautiful squares in Rome and Europe built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian (1st Century AD). Piazza Navona was transformed into a highly significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art during the pontificate of Innocent X, who reigned from 1644.
Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome.
The most important of the famous seven hills of Rome. From its top you can admire the square designed by Michelangelo for Pope Paul III. You will also be able to see the entire ancient area of the Roman forums with its temples and basilicas.
Via del Corso is a well-known historic street in the center of Rome that connects Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo and measures approximately 1.6 kilometers. It is the central artery of the road complex known as Trident.
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue in Rome, Italy. In the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire
Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars (populus in Latin, pioppo in Italian) after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name. The piazza lies inside the northern gate in the Aurelian Walls, once the Porta Flaminia of ancient Rome, and now called the Porta del Popolo. This was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, the road to Ariminum (modern-day Rimini) and the most important route to the north. At the same time, before the age of railroads, it was the traveller's first view of Rome upon arrival. For centuries, the Piazza del Popolo was a place for public executions, the last of which took place in 1826.

Our driver Andrea was knowledgeable, charming, and entertaining. Our 3-hour tour included the spots we asked to see and some of his hidden favorites tourists wouldn't know to seek out. Navigating Rome at the height of tourist season, and in record heat, made being a tourist so much easier in his golf cart.
Due to rain chances we opted for an enclosed ride in a comfortable Mercedes van. Driver and van (Belvedere tours) were excellent. Compared notes with a friend who took the golf cart and smoother ride plus better sound quality for hearing the guide told us we chose the right transportation that day.
This was a great experience that allowed us to customize what we wanted to do and see. Nikola was the tour guide while Andrea (i might have that wrong) was the driver. They were both very accommodating and friendly and we were very happy with our overall experience. Nikola was a wealth of information, which made it even better that we were able to learn so much about the history as well as ask questions my in-laws and husband were very fond of this set up.
We are very happy to do 3 hours private tour. We only had 2 & half days to enjoy at Rome. My hubby has problem to walk. So very quick way to 3 hours to must see Rome places chose from this company. Pick up us at hotel, should be 9am, we were 10 minutes earlier than 9am. Young man( from us.) Mr. Andre was already at front of hotel waiting for us. What a nice start!! He asked our schedule and where we wanted to see. So he adjusted for us. Cause few places are we plan to visit after this tour. And Operator’s info was driver won’t guide. So I thought will be very quiet ride, no information at all, but Mr. Andre speaks perfect English, and he gave us a lot of information about Rome & History! He may not have licensed?? but a lot of knowledge of Rome! Very good surprised!! We really had good time! And many to see and took pics!! We couldn’t do this without Mr.Andre. Also before this tour stated date I sent many times questions Operators responded my questions each time quickly! That’s important point to use this company, too! We are Very happy to choose this company. Thank you for Mr.Andre good taking care of us. Also quick answered Operators!! We Love this tour and recommend!!!

Nicola was an amazing tour guide for our one-day tour of Rome. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and was able to share it with us in a way that was both informative and entertaining. He was also very passionate about the city and his enthusiasm was contagious. In addition to his knowledge and passion, Nicola was also very accommodating. He was willing to adjust our itinerary to fit our interests and time constraints. He also made sure that we were always comfortable and well-hydrated. Overall, Nicola was an excellent tour guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rome. He made our one-day tour unforgettable.
Thank you very much I will inform Nicola of your nice review. Grazie mille Simona
