Start your day with a visit to some of Rome’s most iconic sites. Your first stop might be the Colosseum, where you can learn about the gladiatorial games and ancient Roman entertainment.

For families, consider bringing a small bag with snacks and water. The Golf Cart has ample space to store personal items, making it easy to carry necessities for children.
Midday: Piazza Navona and the Pantheon
After exploring the ancient sites, visit Piazza Navona, known for its beautiful fountains and lively atmosphere. It’s a great place to let the kids run around and enjoy the street performers. Then, head to the Pantheon, an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time.
Make your way to the charming neighborhood of Trastevere for lunch. This area is known for its authentic Roman cuisine and family-friendly restaurants. Enjoy a leisurely meal and perhaps a gelato from a local gelateria.
Afternoon: hidden Gems and scenic views
After lunch, your Golf Cart Tour can take you to some of Rome’s lesser-known sites. Visit the Aventine Hill for a peek through the famous keyhole at the Knights of Malta headquarters, offering a unique view of St. Peter’s Basilica. Then, head to Gianicolo Hill for panoramic views of the city.
Evening: St. Peter’s Square and a relaxing Stroll
Conclude your day with a visit to St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. The evening light makes the square particularly beautiful, and it’s less crowded than during the day. Enjoy a peaceful stroll and take in the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica.
