Rome in 1 Day: Private Golf Cart Adventure & Wine Tasting in an Ancient Cellar
Get ready for the most stylish way to experience Rome — a 5-hour private golf cart tour that blends legendary landmarks, hidden corners, and an unforgettable gourmet experience.
Your journey begins with a smooth ride through the Eternal City: cruise past the Colosseum, circle the mighty Circus Maximus, and catch sweeping views from Aventine Hill. Admire the Pantheon’s timeless beauty, the grandeur of Piazza Venezia, and the elegance of Piazza Navona. Take a moment to soak in the ancient soul of Rome from the Capitoline Hill — all without breaking a sweat.
Then, cross the Tiber to Trastevere and discover a hidden treasure: Fabullus Wine Cellar, set inside a real 1st-century Roman cistern. Step into this underground gem and indulge in a premium tasting of fine Italian wines, paired with hand-selected DOP and IGP local specialties. The atmosphere is intimate, authentic, and completely unforgettable.
After this delicious pause, hop back in your cart and glide through the bohemian streets of Trastevere, up to the panoramic Janiculum Terrace, and around the Spanish Steps. The itinerary is entirely customizable — your guide and cart are yours for the day.

A hot visit to the Colosseum!
Had to collect tickets from a shop near to the Colosseum – lady there was most helpful in explaining where we needed to go and to download apps to our phones for the self audio guide (also gave us some free water with the heat!). Found the entrance easy and then enjoyed the tour – only issue was that the GPS signal wasnt great inside so it was difficult to sync the audio guide to what we were looking at. Took a break before doing the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum – we went on a very hot day and it was hard work walking around – make sure you have plenty of water!! Surfaces were very uneven – which is understandble considering its an ancient monument.

Amazing place to visit, weak audio guide
Such an amazing place to visit, it’s easy to understand why this is a must see! The sites were fantastic, but the audio tour was too generic. There were some interesting clips, but not enough about what we were looking at when we were at different points and too much generic history. In retrospect we would have got a lot more from a guide, but it was very nice to go at our own pace.

Unforgettable experience!
This tour was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, everything was organized, engaging, and informative. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of the Colosseum to life with fascinating stories, little-known facts, and a real passion for Ancient Rome.
The skip-the-line access was a huge plus—no waiting around in the hot sun! We also got upgraded for an Arena tour and got to explore areas that aren’t always open to the public, which made the experience feel exclusive and even more special.
