Discover Rome’s hidden gems and iconic sites on a private golf cart tour with pasta tasting. Experience the city’s rich history and authentic charm.
- Piazza di Spagna - A photo with the Spanish Steps in the background is a must when in Rome! This modern landmark was created three centuries ago to establish an architectural link between Pietro Bernini’s Fountain of the Barcaccia at street level and the Renaissance church atop the slope. The Spanish Steps are distinctive for their unique design and shape, crafted by Alessandro Specchi and Francesco De Sanctis. A traditional symbol of the Italian Dolce Vita, the Spanish Steps are a must-see during a visit to the Eternal City.
- Via Condotti - Rome’s fashion street is home to all the major brands you can think of. The street is a highlight in itself and is also strategically positioned, connecting the Spanish Steps to Rome’s central shopping district. It’s worth a visit to see some big-name stores!
- Trevi Fountain - Easily reach the Trevi Fountain and learn about its history. Park your golf cart and snap your favorite picture in Rome. When you’re done, hop back in your vehicle and continue your adventure. Work on the fountain began in 1732 after a papal competition during the Baroque era to create something as beautiful as the Spanish Steps. The creator of the world-famous fountain didn’t actually win the contest, but due to public outcry in Rome over a Florentine winning, Nicola Salvi was given the go-ahead!
- Palazzo di Montecitorio - The palace of political debates.
- Pantheon - You’ve arrived at one of Rome’s most iconic monuments - the Pantheon! Discover its glorious history and step out of the golf cart to admire the incredible architecture that showcases the ancient Romans’ impressive building skills. The Pantheon, a former Roman temple, is located in central Rome, within walking distance of other well-known sites like Navona Square and the Trevi Fountain. Now a functional church, it is the burial place for many Renaissance masters such as Raphael, as well as two kings of Italy. The monument is unique with a circular, oculus roof allowing sunlight and even rain into the beautiful church. The original building was constructed almost 2000 years ago, and Michelangelo remarked that the design is of angels and cannot be of human conception.
- Piazza Navona - Take a ride on your golf cart and head towards Piazza Navona to witness the breathtaking beauty of Rome’s most stunning square. Piazza Navona is filled with Baroque masterpieces, including those by the world-famous Bernini. The area was originally used as an athletics stadium in 80 AD under Emperor Titus, which later turned into the city’s market in the 1500s. The square has retained its original shape, and the surrounding buildings were erected upon the ancient crowd stand foundations.
- Via Giulia - Via Giulia was designed around 1508 and dedicated to Pope Julius II as an early example of urban renewal. The street runs from the Ponte Sisto to the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini, following the curve of the Tiber. Its urban layout was entrusted to Donato Bramante, who was in charge of the works at the new Basilica of Saint Peter, taking shape on the other side of the river.
- Tempio Maggiore di Roma - The Jewish district in the heart of the city center.
- Isola Tiberina - In Rome, there is always a surprise, like the amazing Tiber Island. Imagine walking along the shores of the river of Rome and suddenly encountering a real island! You will find two original Roman bridges that still connect the island with the city today. The island is also home to a thousand-year-old church! Especially during the summer months, Tiber Island is beautiful for its delicious restaurants and festivals that are organized here. A must-see!
- Trastevere - It’s time to cross over to the opposite bank of the Tiber River, where residents gather and socialize in the evenings - the Trastevere neighborhood. A quaint area of Rome that has seen vast changes over the centuries. This area was home to the original Jewish Synagogue of Rome and also the oldest church of the Eternal City. During 753–509 BC, it was home to “Hostile Etruscans,” and once overtaken, the area was largely used by local fishermen who took advantage of the nearby Tiber River. This part of Rome was even chosen by Julius Caesar as the location for his luxury garden villa!
- Basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin - This mysterious, almost freestanding artifact from Ancient Rome has unclear origins. Some historians say it was used as a drain cover inside the open-air temple opposite where it stands now, while others suggest it was used for blood to drip through during animal sacrifices. Nowadays, there is a myth that if a liar places their hand within its open mouth, the hand will be lost forever. Many replicas can be found around Italy and even abroad, but the original is within the covered entrance of the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church in Rome.
- Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta - Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta is a small and picturesque square enclosed on two sides by the cypresses of the Benedictine garden, backing the fantasy screen of obelisks and stelae constructed in 1765 to designs by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, one of the very few executed designs by this etcher of Roman views who prided himself on being an architect. Ahead rises the Neo-Romanesque campanile of the Church of San Anselmo (1893-1900), attached to the international Benedictine seminary (Seminario Internazionale Benedettino). On the northern side of the square is the Villa del Priorato di Malta. The villa is arguably best known for a small keyhole (Il Buco Della Serratura) in the arch-headed central portone, through which the copper-green dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica can be viewed at the end of a garden allée framed in clipped cypresses.
- Giardino degli Aranci - The Orange Trees Garden is the name used in Rome to describe the Parco Savello. It is about 7,800 square meters and is located on the Aventine Hill. The park offers an excellent view of the city. The garden, as it is today, was designed in 1932 by Raffaele De Vico. It was constructed to offer public access to the view from the side of the hill, creating a new “belvedere,” to be added to the existing viewpoints in Rome from the Pincian Hill and the Janiculum.
- Circus Maximus - While navigating the vast elliptical Circus Maximus, one can embark on a journey through time to the ancient beginnings of Rome. Standing in this historic location, where more than 100,000 Romans rejoiced in the public games, one can almost hear the echoes of the spectators. Delve even deeper into the past, to the moment when the renowned Etruscan king Romulus commemorated his triumph over the Sabines in this very spot.
- Colosseum - Conclude your tour at the Colosseum, where your exploration of ancient Rome is just about to begin.
