What a treat to have such a wonderful golf cart driver/guide. So much more than a driver, our guide shared his personal business experiences and lifestyle of a Roman citizen. We learned a great deal of history as well as current economic, political and cultural situations. Cannot say enough about our golf cart tour. Thank you

We were able to see much of Rome with an experience guide—Pietro. We had limited time in Rome and this tour made it possible to see the sights. Thank you.

Our guide, Giovanni, was excellent! He provided a lot of historical information that we craved with our first time in Rome. He was also able to suggest a “non tourist” restaurant for us to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. Seeing multiple sites with stops along the way was wonderful and much better on arthritic knees than walking tours would have been. We would definitely recommend this tour!

This is a great way to see Rome up close and personal. We were picked up at our hotel and off we went to see all the important landmarks. Andreas was so knowledgeable and navigated the narrow streets of Rome like a pro. I made the mistake of not getting tickets to the Pantheon, but we got lots of information and beautiful views of the major landmarks. He also gave us great place to grab a gelato as he crept through the crowds to give us the perfect spot to view the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps. How anyone can drive in Rome, especially a golf cart, is beyond me, but he did it and we got back to our hotel in one piece.

My husband and I have really enjoyed the open top bus tours of Rome but nothing quite compares to riding through the city in a Facile Tour's Golf Cart. We drove through narrow streets in the old sections, where busses can't go. We could almost reach out and touch what the shops and vendors were selling. Traveling down those old streets are beautiful, old churches that we had never seen in our previous visits and restaurants we have not noticed before.

Our guide, Giovanni, is one of the most knowledgeable that we've had. Our questions on history, architecture and culture were answered in detail. He seems to know everyone! No surprise, since he is an exceptionally personable and a life-long Roman!
