Rome in Two Unforgettable Chapters: Colosseum, Golf Cart Adventure & Vatican Treasures

Start your day by stepping inside the Colosseum with a self-audio-guided tour at your own pace. Skip the lines and immerse yourself in ancient history as you explore the world’s most famous amphitheater, walking in the footsteps of gladiators, emperors, and Roman citizens.

Then, continue your journey with a private 2-hour golf cart tour, beginning right from the Colosseum and gliding through the Eternal City’s most iconic streets, squares, and viewpoints. With your driver — available in English, French, Italian, or Spanish (language chosen at booking) — you’ll pause for photos, soak in postcard-perfect views, and uncover corners of Rome that most visitors never find.

After a free lunch break (not included), the afternoon is dedicated to timeless art and spirituality with a small-group guided tour of the Vatican Museums (in English only). Stroll through legendary galleries, admire Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, and step inside the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica.

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.
