Our private golf cart tour was one of the highlights of our Italy trip! The communication before the tour was great -- clear, responsive, and flexible. On the day of, our guide greeted us with a smile and made everyone instantly comfortable. The golf cart was clean, spacious, and even had proper car seats for the little ones, which made us feel completely safe the entire time. We loved that the tour was customizable -- we saw the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, and Piazza del Popolo, but also got to explore smaller local streets and hidden gems. Our guide made the history come alive in such a fun, kid-friendly way, and even gave us amazing restaurant and gelato recommendations afterward! If you're traveling to Rome with children, this is the perfect way to explore the city. Easy, safe, fun, and unforgettable. Highly recommend Turtle Tours!

Turns out there's more catacombs in Rome and the one we went to was fantastic. There's also more ancient roads than just one. While we did ride on "the one" we also saw two others that were better preserved! I had no idea there were multiple aqueducts. We saw two! Plus got to see inside one. We had done a larger commercial tour before. We will go with Simone if we go back to Rome. He also was very good with our 10 year old girls. He spent time to find a bike that fit them just right (they're super tall and skinny so it wasn't easy). When they needed a break, we went to a cafe to have a local Roman lunch. It was fantastic. While I don't like riding on roads with cars, it's impossible to avoid in Rome. He always made sure we were safe in riding and crossing roads. We did have one problem with one of the bikes. He had a tool kit with him and was able to easily adjust the bike. This is by far my favorite Rome activity of the trip.

From the I-meant-to-leave-this-review-before file:…read more I certainly understand the appeal of riding Rome by Vespa, but it seems like a smarter way to roam -- pun intended -- the countryside. Given the herky-jerky way of Roman transit it would not be a consideration made unless I was under a helmet. Even then, it would probably be a hard pass. But I'll still keep it under consideration. Five stars for the perceived enjoyment one might derive from this mode of transportation.

Way cheaper than a taxi and less complicated and more convenient than buses and trains... and I was with my family so didn't want to rent scooters either (safety reasons).

One day I had my seat (saddle) stolen and they replaced it with a smile. I will rent here again.

The stops were great, the walking easy, the food good, and Edma was a fountain of local geography and food culture information.

Imagine a pizza rolled into a cone and then filled with flavorful toppings. I had the Double Cream which consisted of a blend of Cream and Buffalo Mozzarella in addition to Cantabrico Anchovies. Salty, creamy, and a hint of sweetness from the cream. An explosive flavor combo. Next we stopped at the one and only Bonci Pizzarium. If you watched chef table to see Ann Kim, you might have seen this place. Phenomenal pizza by the slice with creative toppings like purple potatoes or squash with sausage. Next we had some traditional Italian pasta at Osteria Da Fortunata. Some red wine paired with Amatriciana. Well spiced and fresh noodles went down way too easy. We finished with charcuterie and tiramisu at La Nicchia Cafe. Many types of cheeses, bruschetta, balsamic, meats, and olive oils. Rounded out by the best tiramisu I've ever had. ____________

AMAZING tour experience!…read more We had a private 4-hour golf cart tour (highlights of all major attractions) which allowed us to see so many special places all over the city and from vantage points we would never have found on our own. Plus the golf cart was just fun whipping down random cobblestone streets and through crowds of people. It was a really special experience for us, and our tour guide was superb; very jocular and down to earth. As part of the tour our guide also got us into the pantheon for free and showed us around one of the local churches which had unique graphic illusions (as well as some creepy skulls/skeletons incorporated into the religious artwork). One of my favorite parts of the tour was stopping to check out Giardino degli Aranci (orange grove public square overlooking the city at night). Highly recommended.
