First things, first. Here is the link to the exact tour we took:
Now for the good stuff!
Do you need something to keep you going and push through your jet lag? Are your feet feeling like they've trudged all the way back to the Roman Empire? Are you more interested in gliding through the Eternal City like a triumphant Caesar than slogging through its historic cobblestone streets? Well, you're in luck! LivTours' private Rome golf cart tour has got your back – and your feet – covered!
From the get-go, I knew this was going to be an epic ride. We started from the picturesque Piazza della Repubblica, and right away, I felt like a VIP cruising around in an eco-friendly chariot. Our guide, Simone, was the Ferrari of tour guides – fast, sleek, and full of fascinating facts. The best part? I didn’t even break a sweat…in August! Beat the heat and save your feet? Yes, please!
Imagine zipping through Rome’s narrow streets in a stylish golf cart while Simone regales you with tales of gladiators and emperors. One minute, you're marveling at the Colosseum, the next, you're sneaking a peek through the Aventine Hill keyhole. That’s right – a keyhole! Who knew a tiny peephole could frame St. Peter’s Basilica so perfectly? It’s like Rome’s very own Instagram filter.
The tour took us through six neighborhoods and over 20 sights in just three hours. Piazza della Repubblica, Via Cavour, the Colosseum (outside, but still epic!), Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus – the list goes on! We even swung by the Pyramid of Cestius. Yup, Rome has a pyramid, and no, we didn’t time travel to Egypt.
One of the highlights was definitely the Mouth of Truth. Watching brave souls test their honesty by sticking their hands in that ancient stone mouth was a hoot. Simone’s story about its legend had us all giggling and grateful that this wasn’t a lie detector test. Don’t forget to sneak a peak inside the Church— it is marvelous!
We also zipped through the Jewish Ghetto, a hidden gem full of history and charm. And let’s not forget the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps. At each stop we took pictures courtesy of Simone. For once I was in the photos and not behind the camera!
Hungry? Thirsty? No problem. Simone made sure we had a pit stop for the best gelato in town. I don’t know what was smoother – the ride or the gelato. And for those looking for a little more adult refreshment, we enjoyed a quick aperol spritz break. Because nothing says “I’m in Rome” like sipping a refreshing cocktail while zipping through the streets.
The best part? Anytime we wanted to stop for a photo op or an extra gelato (sadly, not included, but hey, we’re in Italy!), Simone was more than accommodating. This was our private tour, after all – all the perks, none of the tourist traps. Our kids (4 &10) especially loved stopping to learn how to get water from the ancient water fountains scattered around the city. It's the perfect blend of fun and education!
If you are looking for an overview of the city as soon as you arrive, need a little break from the summer heat, or want to explore all Rome has to offer in a short amount of time, LivTours’ private Rome golf cart tour is a fantastic option. It’s a perfect way to beat jet lag and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Rome without overexerting yourself.
As our adventure wrapped up, Simone dropped us off at a convenient spot to continue our Roman holiday on foot, albeit reluctantly. After all, who wants to walk when you’ve tasted the sweet life of a golf cart tour?
In conclusion, LivTours' private Rome golf cart tour is like hitting the sightseeing jackpot. It’s fun, efficient, and way more comfortable than those tired old walking tours. If you want to see Rome in style and save your soles, this tour is the way to go. Trust me, your feet will thank you!
