Rome: Private Golf Cart Tour of the Appian Way

This private 3-hour golf cart tour takes you from Rome's historic center to the Appian Way, the ancient Roman road lined with tombs and ruins. You visit the Museum of the Walls, inside Porta San Sebastiano, a gate of the Aurelian Walls. With the optional catacombs ticket, you also join the 11:30 AM guided visit of the San Sebastiano Catacombs, early Christian burial tunnels carved into volcanic rock. The tour starts at 10:00 AM, with pickup at your hotel, Airbnb or restaurant in the historic center, and ends back in the center. It runs every day except Monday, when the catacombs are closed. Only your group takes part.

Good to know

• The tour runs when the San Sebastiano Catacombs are open: every day except Monday. The catacombs are also closed on 25 December, 1 January and Easter Sunday, and for an annual closure in December (in 2026, from 7 to 27 December).

• On Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM (except in August), the first stretch of the Appian Way is a limited traffic zone, so on weekends the driver changes the route.

• The walkway on the Aurelian Walls is closed to the public for works: you visit the museum inside Porta San Sebastiano, but you cannot walk along the walls. The museum is closed on Mondays, 1 May and 25 December.

• The Museum of the Walls has no elevator and several flights of stairs, so it may be difficult for visitors with reduced mobility.

• Drivers are not licensed tour guides, but they will gladly help with your requests whenever possible. A guide from the catacombs leads the visit to the San Sebastiano Catacombs.

• Children of any age are welcome. Each child takes a seat and counts as a traveler; tell us their ages when booking. Child seats are available on request. A folded stroller fits on board the golf cart; just tell us when you book.

• Tours run year-round, also in the rain (the carts have rain covers), and are guaranteed except for natural disasters or circumstances beyond our control.
