Step by Step
Delve into the depths of Roman history on a golf cart tour that will take you through the catacombs of St. Callixtus and the legendary Appian Way.
This approximately 3-hour tour starts on the Appian Way Antica, one of the most important routes of the ancient empire, where you can admire the historic Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis. From there, you will enter the mysterious Catacombs of St. Callixtus, with a guided tour of about 45 minutes by a Vatican priest or an expert on the subject. During this part of the tour, you will learn about the burial rites of the early Christians and the importance of these sacred spaces.
Afterwards, the route will take you to the Basilica of San Sebastiano Fuori le Mura, a key place for Christian history and for Rome. Following the itinerary, you will stop at the Circus of Maxentius, an imposing vestige of the Roman past, before visiting the legendary Circus Maximus, where chariot races thrilled the crowds. The tour continues to the Bocca della Verità, the famous marble relief, and culminates in Piazza Venezia, a central place for modern life and the city's historical past.
Along the way, an expert guide will be on hand to answer questions and share unique anecdotes about each location, as the activity is designed for small groups of up to 14 people, ensuring a more intimate and personalised experience. In addition, stops are planned at lesser-known but equally impressive spots, such as the Terrazza del Gianicolo, which offers unparalleled views of Rome.
With the convenience of a golf cart and two departure options, morning or afternoon, this tour will allow you to explore the Eternal City without missing a single detail of its vast history.
