The golf cart tour is not just a driving tour! We will stop at the sites and let you get out of the cart to stroll through the squares,  tour the inside of the monuments and churches or to toss your coin at the Trevi Fountain.

During the tour we'll also take you to a great place for "gelato" and for lunch, if you choose to go on a full-day tour.

This is the very best way to tour Rome for a disabled person, much better than a tour of Rome by car! And now we have a special car in which we can take three people plus a wheelchair! Everyone sits facing forward and if you don't need to carry a wheelchair with you, we can put a lid on the trunk and you can use it for your shopping bags.

For many years we've been showing Rome to tourists and driving them around by car and countless times we were hired by clients who used a wheel chair or a stroller or people who could walk but not too far, but the car wasn't easy for them to get in and out of and, with Rome's traffic, we always had problems stopping near the sites for them.

Maybe some of them wouldn't have chosen to take a private car tour but they did just because of their mobility problems but they always had so much trouble getting in and out of the car that, after the first two or three stops, they decided they better just sit in it and wait while their travel companions walked around the sites.

Than it took two or three more stops to get bored, call themselves out and ask to be driven back to their hotel.

Everything changed when we started to take then around Rome in a golf cart!

We did the very first tour by golf cart with a lady who had a lot of trouble walking, we stopped at Villa Borghese where someone was there renting out golf carts. It gave us the idea, we proposed it to the lady and she said that maybe she would try it for a couple of hours. She enjoyed it so much that those "couple of hours" turned out being three consecutive days !!!
The golf cart makes the tour of Rome very special and easy for people with walking problems. These little electric cars are allowed to drive practically anywhere, especially if a disabled persons is aboard. We can drive our clients right to the door of the sites to visit. There might be some steps to climb and it'll depend on the specific case what we'll be able to do to solve this problem but anyway, it'll always be easier and more satisfactory than having to see things from a car's window!
We can take two people and a wheel chair in the standard golf cart or three people in the "deluxe" and, if you have serious mobility problems, we'll help you get in and out of the cart. If necessary, we'll even push you around in your wheel chair to help you visit the sites.
The golf carts are very easy to get in and out of even for people with limited mobility, they have no doors!!!
You sit down in them like you would sit in a chair and get to know the city of Rome better than most tourists!

Entrance fees

Free admission at the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

People with permanent disabilities and one person who accompanies them, do not have to pay the admission fee to enter the Vatican Museums.

If the disability isn't obvious though, then it must be proved by a certificate.

Wheel chair

If you have have problems walking and standing for a long time, you can use a wheel chair. Wheel chairs are available free of any charge at the Vatican Museums.

You cannot reserve for a wheel chair and consequently if a wheel chair isn't available at the time you enter the Vatican Museums you'll just have to wait for someone to bring one back.

These wheel chairs though, can only be used in the Museums and the Sistine Chapel, you cannot take the wheel chair with you to St. Peter's Basilica, therefore you'll either have to skip St. Peter's Basilica or walk it. Or rent a wheel chair to take to the Vatican with you.

Permanent disabilities

We are sure that those with serious walking problems will come prepared and will have their own wheel chair, but otherwise we'll be happy to help them rent one!

Renting a wheel chair

If your disability is such that you cannot walk through St. Peter's you'll have to rent a wheel chair for this tour. If you don't know where to rent a wheel chair from, we can help you. We can get you a wheel chair to use for the whole tour of the Vatican.

The cost of renting the wheel chair is 25 Euros.

We can get you an electric scooter as well, but it's more  complicated to get around the Vatican in a scooter. The wheel chair works a lot better.
