The standard golf cart
accommodates up to 3 passengers plus driver, total 4.
The "deluxe" cart accommodates up to 3 passengers
plus driver, total 4, but they all face forward and
there's also a cargo box which we can leave
open and we can carry a wheel chair in it, or we can
close it and you can leave you shopping bags
in it while you go walking around. For larger groups, up to
seven passengers, we use
the "stretched" golf cart. For larger
groups we need
to use more than one golf cart. The group members
can drive the additional golf carts themselves if
they like, or we
can provide drivers.
·
If you decide for driving
the additional cart yourself instead of hiring a
driver, the leading cart's driver will always make
sure you don't get left behind and will give you
all the necessary assistance.
·
When driving in a
motorcade, in order to stay in touch and get the
commentary and instructions, passengers and drivers
will be supplied with earpieces by which they will
be continually in touch with the driver of the
leading cart who'll speak to them through a
microphone.
·
You'll be picked up from
your hotel and the tour will start from there. But
if your hotel is not located in the city center,
meaning inside Rome's Walls, you'll need to come to
meet us in the city by your own means. The average
range a golf cart drives, with fully charged
batteries, is 80 kilometers (50 miles) enough for a
full day tour of Rome, but not to come and meet you
at your hotel if it's not in the city.
·
Generally the hotels
located outside Rome's historical center provide shuttle service driving their guests to the city
center on a regular schedule, if this is your case
we'll come to meet you where the hotel's shuttle
drops you off. Differently we will have to discuss
where the most convenient place to meet would be.
·
Though our carts don't
come with air conditioning and Rome is hot in the
summer, it is not uncomfortable to drive around Rome
even when it's hot. There's always a nice breeze in
Rome which makes driving in a
golf cart pleasant plus we mostly drive through the
narrow shady streets of old Rome that are always
quite cool. Even a nice air conditioned Mercedes can
be unpleasant to drive after it's been parked in the
sun for half an hour!
About the golf cart tours:
·
We charge hourly rates
(starting from 60 Euros per hour, minimum 4 hours)
and we do not follow preset itineraries. We'll take
you where you want to go!
·
Our tours are designed to
match our clients interests. The purpose for the
itineraries listed on this website is to give you
an idea of what you can see in Rome touring by a
golf cart Rome in the allotted time.
·
Four hours is the minimum
you can hire us for and you can go for the whole
day if you like. The full day tour is the best!
Naturally you can hire us for multiple days and
we'll always have something new to show everyday!
·
We do not like to drive
our golf carts on the main streets. We like to get
to the main attractions driving on the quaint back
streets and so avoid traffic, noise, fumes... and
other tourists !!! Our tours take you off the
beaten path and to the major highlights of Rome.
·
We'll show things you'll
not expect to see. You'll be able to take pictures
and videos without getting out of the cart, but
we'll always stop for you anytime you ask us to and
let you take the picture you want or take a closer
look at something that tickles your curiosity.
·
If this is your first
time in Rome we'll focus our tour on the major
highlights, if you are already familiar with Rome
we'll show you other enchanting places that are not
as famous but equally interesting.
·
When we tour with you to
the fundamental highlights of Rome, we drive on the
narrow backstreets and let you discover what could
be defined as "hidden Rome" and you'll
realize that Rome is not
a theme park but a real city. You'll get look inside
workshops were artisans are immersed in their daily
occupations, incredible courtyards and out of the
way churches. |
