The best tour in rome! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable and had a real passion for historical Rome. I took my mom and 85yr old grandpa and it was perfect. He took us to all the main attractions and some incredible places we would have never known, if it weren’t for our guide. I would recommend this amazing tour to anyone who wants to know Rome. Even if you have a couple days in Rome, this tour will make your trip complete. I have traveled throughout the world and this was hands down the best tour I have ever done.

Fantastic way to see sights of Rome!
Our driver was absolutely amazing. When he found out my husband had mobility issues, he went out of his way to get us as close to each stop as he could. He had so much knowledge and historical information it made this tour incredible. Loved going down the narrow streets in the golf cart, through gardens and parks, to churches, the Colosseum, statues, circus maximus and so much more. He even made reservations at a restaurant for when our tour was done. This was an amazing way to see Rome. I highly recommend it for couples and small groups.

Best Tour Ever! This tour was our favorite part of our trip to Rome. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Our guide was fantastic! friendly and knowledgeable and really showed us things we never would’ve seen by ourselves or on a larger tour. The entire experience was completely worth the money and we would recommend this to all of our family and friends visiting Rome. We would even go again on another visit but maybe get an entire day. Wonderful!

15/10 recommend – well worth the money!! Myself, my mom, and my cousin and we were so happy with the tour, that’s all we talked about for the next few days! Well worth the money – we only had one full day in Rome and there’s no way we could have seen all the things we wanted to see if it had not been for the golf cart. Our guide was so knowledgeable and made us feel like we were just exploring the city with an old friend. He was so friendly and even took us to a few “secret” spots that aren’t as mainstream but definitely should be on your list! All in all, I can’t say enough good things about both this EXPERIENCE and our tour guide 😊 15/10 would recommend!!

Rolling Rome Rules!! THIS TOUR IS A “MUST DO” IN ROME! Our tour guide was absolutely magnificent. His knowledge, enthusiasm and love for the city made this tour the highlight of our trip. Our guide customized the tour according to our input and took us to a few surprise (WONDERFUL!!) places that only insiders would know about. Additionally, the golf carts are able to go to places cars can’t access. Rolling Rome is worth every penny, you are guaranteed to have the time of your life!!

This is the way to go. My 3 friends and I loved it ! This helped our 2 with walking difficulties get to see so much. Shout out to our tour guide! She did a wonderful job making our 2 golf cart trips different in covering so many important stops. She knows her stuff. This company was easy to communicate with, schedule and make payment. Their carts are clean and safe and many sizes are available. We were able to get close to the Trevi fountain and Pantheon!

Totally worth the money—and a great tour that will save your feet! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Rome! Our tour guide seemed to really have our best interest at heart and took us to all the places we wanted to see, as well as some gems we wouldn’t have even known about without the tour, like the The Jesuit Church of Saint Ignatius with its optical illusion dome. We had a long list for him of things we wanted to see, and he was able to do most of it, as well as take us to some other amazing parks and churches. Three hours was the perfect amount of time, and it was well worth the money.

If you are wondering if this is worth it…the answer is YES! Our guide was smart, personable and just simply amazing and knew the city of Rome and it’s history inside and out! She drove our party of 4 around Rome and its suburbs for 3 hours showing us highlights, giving us the inside scoop and showed us things there is no way we could have seen by walking Rome in our only 2 days there. Amazing overview plus we learned some really fun things about language, people, food, etc. following the things we wanted to see plus threw in a few we didn’t know about. It saved our feet and honestly was just exactly what we were looking for!

Wonderful way to see the highlights of Rome!
Absolutely loved touring Rome this way! One guide was a great (and handsome) driver while the other was kind, passionate and knowledgeable about his city! There is no way my husband and I could have walked these cobblestone streets all day. Driving through narrow, what looked like walkways, was fun. Pulling right up to most locations and being able to get out was wonderful. Other people walking, exhausted, and following their walking tour group leaders looked at us with envy. My husband is cheap but thought this was worth every penny to see the highlights of Rome in a short amount of time. Awesome!

In Rome for only few days? Take this tour! Undoubtedly the best way to see the highlights (and many back streets) of Rome during a short visit to this beautiful city. We had the pleasure of being “chauffeured” around by a fun and very knowledgeable and personable guide, who spoke perfect English and made sure to customise the tour to include what interested us most. As a person who has mobility issues and walks with the aid of a cane, I strongly recommend this mode of sightseeing to anyone with impediments similar to mine.

A three hour tour with Rolling Rome was a highlight of our trip. With ages ranging from 9 months into the 70’s, it was our only hope of covering lots of ground together with the August heat. For our group of 14, they assembled three golf carts (water bottles stocked for all and one with a car seat!) and picked us up at our Airbnb. The lead guide entertained, informed and took excellent care of the overall group, choosing popular and little known sites to fit the needs of our first time and veteran Rome vacationers. The excursion flew by with lots of family photos, a stop for gelato, and the wind in our hair. We were delivered back to the destination of our choice (without sore feet!) and all enjoyed our excellent tour of Rome.

BEST way to see Rome on the day you arrive!
Rome Sunset Tour is the BEST thing to do your first night in Rome. Our guide was fun and informative. We got picked up at our hotel, which was super awesome. We got a good “lay of the land” of Rome and saw all the sights lite up, which was really cool. We stopped for the best pizza we had in Rome and some yummy gelato too. Highly recommend doing this the first day of arrival – you will not regret it!

Incredible introduction to Rome! Amazing experience. We had the best tour guide possible. Extremely knowledgeable about everything we encountered and provided little known details about so much! Multiple times people not associated with our group commented on how great he was. He made the tour. We did the full day and the lunch included was phenomenal. We booked this as our first day in Rome which gave us the best introduction to the city. Book this, you absolutely won’t regret it.

WOW what a great tour! We have been to Rome three times, and feel very much at home in the city. This time we took the “Rolling Rome” Golf Cart Tour. To say that we were happy with the tour would be a gross understatement. Our guide made everything perfect, from the on time pick up at our hotel; to the way he organized the tour to see so many wonderful sights up close, to the artist/historian’s perspective on those sights! Getting up close to the best sights in Rome with the golf cart made so many of the other tourists quite envious!
I highly recommend the Rolling Rome Tour group!

Our guide drove us while pointing out numerous structures and locations of historic significance. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making it an experience we will never forget. The city is such an important part of ancient civilization and seeing things like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Circus Maximus, and so many other ancient antiquities made the tour my favorite part of our stay in Rome. A great way to see many different must see sights in Rome in one tour.

We booked this tour for our first day in Rome and it was awesome. A great way to visit many sights. We did the full day tour including lunch. Our guide spoke perfect English and we had no problems communicating all day. He took us to all the traditional sights along with some other not so famous but beautiful sights. We had the chance to take wonderful photos throughout the city. Our guide is a history buff and was able to give us detailed information about many of the sights we saw. His knowledge of the city and of history made him the perfect guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you for a beautiful day!

Super FUN, Refreshing way to see Rome! We had a wonderful time with our guide, He was funny, friendly, smart and always checking in with us! We arrived in Rome the day before and still a little jet lagged, but he brought energy and smiles, it completely made our day in every way!!! Love the sights and all the photo opportunities. We weren’t rushed, nor felt overwhelmed. My family and I enjoyed the private tour and special attention without having to compete with other tourists. Thank you for a memorable time – highly recommend!

Amazing tour and amazing guides!
Unbelievable day of sightseeing in the golf cart! Started the morning with Gabriel, a fantastic, knowledgeable and fun guide who took us to see some great lesser known sites. We then had a fabulous lunch at a local restaurant (included in the experience) and met our next guide Marco at the Colosseum. Marco was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we had an amazing tour of the Colosseum and Forum. Couldn’t recommend this your day enough and those 2 guides in particular! 5*s

Our guide Alex started his journey to us after his lowest point- being kicked off from NASA for sleeping on the job! Or maybe it was after he didn’t become a famous rockstar even though his version of “You Are My Sunshine” will have you wiping tears from your eyes. Life didn’t give Alex lemons, it gave him Rome and a golf cart, and Life is great! Alex doesn’t sleep on the job anymore but you may catch him whistling a special tune while driving!
