Lisa was a great guide and made this tour special. We were able to see everything we wanted for our short time in Rome. We would have never been able to do this by ourselves. The entire experience was wonderful, lunch was over the top, so much food. Lisa made our day quite easy, keeping walking to a minimum as we are an older couple. I would recommend this tour, worth the money spent.

It was great for an overview of the city. Our guide, Mike, was very personal able, smart and funny. Loved every bit!
our guide was very knowledgeable and had a passion for architecture. He asked what sites were important for us to see. excellent experience!
Great experience wonderful guide Andrea. He shared wonderful details about everyday life in Italy. He also gave all the details on the sights we were seeing to bring them to life.
The guide was nice but picked us up late. Said she picked someone else up from our hotel she thought was me. She knew a substantial amount about Rome, but seemed to drive in circles which wasted a lot of time.
Patrick was an exceptional guide. Explained so much about Rome and told us so many interesting stories. Great pace of tour and covered a lot of highlights.
A perfect way to spend our first afternoon in Rome! Skipping the line at the Trevi Fountain was an added bonus!
My wife and I (both 70+) did the Turtle Tours golf cart tour of Rome our first night in town. We chose this based on the great reviews and knowing that after a long overnight flight we’d be a little too gassed to do a whole lot of walking or more active type of tours. The excursion did not disappoint. We got whisked around to many of the city’s iconic sightd and landmarks which are vastly different when seen at night time. Our guide Matteo was super helpful. He was a skillful careful driver, knew all the right close-in “secret” places to park so we could get up close without a log of walking, extremely well versed on the history of the sites that we visited and even happily took photos of us at each stop. His English conversation skills were well above average. Along the way we journeyed through countless back streets and alleys getting glimpses of night life, restaurants and such that you’d never get to see in a bus or most cars - and we covered far more in 2-3 hours than we could have dreamed of doing on foot. Highly recommend.
Matteo was a wonderful guide! My family had the best time. We booked this tour last minute and were SO happy that we did. We were able to hit many of the highlights of Rome in just three hours and learned so much along the way. We’ve been talking about it all evening. Would highly recommend
Our driver was excellent. I am so sorry I can’t remember is name. He was fun, enthusiastic and showed us some sites and views we would never have seen,
Matteo was an exceptional guide. As a family we did the night trip seeing most of Rome’s historic highlights. We did this on our first night to experience sites we needed to see. Matteo was great as a born Roman he did not need GPS. He spoke exceptional English and shared his knowledge about each stop. I highly recommend him. His sense of humor was also fun.
It was great! Lisa was very informative and we loved seeing Rome in an abbreviated and quick version. Lisa gave some good nuggets that we wouldn’t have had by just walking around by ourselves.
We had Domenico for our tour operator and cannot rate him highly enough. Our tour was tailored to our needs yet ticked so many boxes. We feel that we have really been given the opportunity to see not just the “must sees” but a few of the hidden gems. Every need was catered to, thank you for a fabulous morning
Very insightful, Lisa gave a lot of historic insight. And most importantly, she took us to the most amazing Gelato in Rome.
This was our last night in after a week in Roma. Matteo asked where we had already been so he could tailor the experience to us. He is an excellent, guide! Knowledgeable, very friendly and affable, enjoyed our tour. Most importantly, his knowledge of the history of Rome and the details he provided were very insightful. Definitely will tour with him again.
There were 6 of us so we had 2 carts and 2 drivers! They were very knowledgeable about Rome and took us to all the sites listed on their itinerary. Would highly recommend!
Michael was a great tour guide, providing culture, history, and context. We had a wonderful time, touring the city and seeing the sites. Michael was entertaining and funny and played music which made the excursion even better.
Very cool way to travel around Rome’s busy streets. Got to see a few highlights! Guide was very knowledgeable and fun to have show us around.
The best way to see Rome! Minimizes walking for those with mobility issues. More time efficient than waiting for crowds to get on/off a tour bus. Customizable to your interests. Sam was an excellent tour guide and our lunch venue was amazing! A+++
Fun way to see Rome when your feet are tired! Our guy’s name was Michael and he was super sweet. I just wish we saw a few more things and learned a little bit more during the tour. There was a lot of driving without talking.
Golf cart tour allows access to sites via narrow streets and passageways. The cart increases visibility and proximity to the sites.
Paolina was FANTASTIC!! We had the best time and she is full of history and fun facts! Thanks for the best afternoon!
Renato was a fantastic guide on our few hours around Rome. As first timers in Rome and on a tight timeframe, he gave us a great orientation around the city and managed some tricky timings to avoid protests around the city on the day. We appreciated the gelato stop, the photo opportunities and the recommendations for things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. And he even had Trevi tickets booked for us to visit and took us before the crowds appeared! He was also very patient with our four year old daughter and provided a car seat for her in the cart. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and were happily dropped off in Trastevere with some excellent lunch recommendations. We would definitely recommend Turtle Tours!
Sam Was a wonderful guide thank you - really fun tour and very informative. 3 hours passed in a moment
It was great; driver was very respectful of our time, eager to show us Soooo much, and had lots of interesting historical tidbits to share. I recommend FOR SURE! Quick, efficient and pleasant way to see many highlights in a short window of time.
Easy relaxing! You can focus on the sites instead watching where you are walking on the cobblestone !
Federico was absolutely fantastic! He was not only our tour guide but also our golf cart driver, making our first night in Rome truly special. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of this incredible city. Exploring Rome with him was a wonderful way to get our first glimpse of the Eternal City, and he made the experience both enjoyable and memorable for my girlfriend and me. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Rome! If you’re looking for a fun, informative, and personalized way to discover the city, I highly recommend Federico. Thank you for making our first night in Rome such a memorable experience! 🇮🇹❤️
A great way to start your visit in room with a great overview of many sites. Everything was as promised. Patrick our guide was very knowledge and friendly. He dropped us off at a great restaurant he recommended and it was amazing. He also gave us other rcommendations for restaurants in our hotel general area. We tried Cybo last night and it was also a great recommendation. Patrick was fantastic!!
Guided by an expert it was a great way to see the sights in a short period of time. Our tour guide Dan was waiting for us at the pick up point which was easily arranged beforehand. Dan was fun and passionate about the city and provided us with some excellent tips for after the tour too. Would recommend this company
Fantastic experience! Our tour guide Sam was very informative on the history and culture of Rome. He spent a little extra time at the places we were most interested in on the itinerary. He even provided recommendations about where to eat and things to do. This was a great way to see the highlights of Rome!
Our guide skipped several of the stops: Piazza Novonna, Pantheon, and Bocca Verita. Our umbrellas were stolen off of the cart at one of the stops. Not a lot of in depth history was shared. Friendly but hurried.
This was an amazing way to see so much of the city. Ricardo was so knowledgeable and really went out of his way to make this so memorable. Even with it raining, it was magical. And the included dinner at Trattoria Del Cordaro was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We can’t say enough about how wonderful this experience was.
Excellent, Federico a great guide, 3 hours, many sights, coffee and gelato, can certainly recommend
A wonderful sampling of Rome in a unique travel mode. Perfect for those with mobility issues, but still excellent for those who want a taste of what Rome has to offer before taking a deep dive. We could not have asked for a better guide. Renato was so nice and informative. He made it even more enjoyable!
The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable however the golf cart was old and dirty and not the experience I expected Very disappointing
Would recommend as the first tour you take in Rome. Our guide gave an excellent overview of some of Rome's Major attractions. Golf carts can quickly get around traffic jams and we spend more time viewing instead of stuck.
Very enjoyable experience. Our driver was excellent, but we were told she was not certified to speak while driving, which was a large part of the tour. Nonetheless she really did a great job showing us around and taking us behind the scenes. The gelato was a very nice touch at the end!
Dominico asked us what we were interested in and showed us many sights. It saved us time in planning our trip!.
Highly recommend a Golf Cart Tour with Turtle Tours. This was a nice way to start our visit in Rome. Paolina made this experience a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable of Rome. She also provided a list of restaurants, shops, etc. to visit on our stay in Rome. Thank you Turtle Tour and Paolina!
We were only in Rome a short time and knew we would not have the opportunity to experience all that Rome has to offer or stand in long lines to enter the many churches and historic sites. This is why we chose Rome by golf cart! Our guide Patrick was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and funny to zoom around Rome for a few hours exploring the sites. We always felt safe and I would recommend to anyone who is traveling a short time. You get to see so much otherwise not possible by walking.

This was the most disappointing experience of our three weeks in Italy and the UK. Extremely poor value (nearly $200 US per person). Based on the reviews, I expected an excellent guide. Our guide, Biagio, somehow managed to be bored and cocky at the same time. He didn’t offer to take photos (we did ask at one or two stops). He gave us incorrect information about multiple sites (e.g., that the Pope and Mussolini negotiated over ownership of the Colosseum). He generally sat in the cart rather than accompanying us to the sites. He was interested in himself and telling us about that. The best I can say is that he picked us up on time and that we cut the lines at Trevi fountain and at a good gelato place. But I’m sure lots of cheaper golf cart tours do the same. This operator must have some good guides but based on our experience it’s not guaranteed.
This is my second time booking Turtle Tours and it is because of Matteo. Another fantastic and memorable experience! Thank you Matteo!!
Michael was a great tour guide. We were surprised to find out tickets to the Trevi fountain and gelato were included. He even made a stop at a wine store for us. This tour made our first night in Rome an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend Michael as your tour guide.
Turtle tours is an excellent operator with knowledgeable and fun tour guides. Our guide was a young man with excellent English and intimat knowledge of Rome. He made sure we made the most of our three hour tour with a flexible and educational itinerary. Highly recommended!
Sam, our tour driver, was very knowledgeable, engaging and fun. He was a safe driver - especially on the crazy streets in Rome. He had lots of fun and interesting facts about the landmarks we visited. Highly recommended!!!
Great tour, quick and to the point Not a whole lot of goofing off, saw all the premium sites and our girl shima was awesome
Great way to see the sights! Loved the golf cart tour and our tour guide Andy.He took us to great spots to see. Another great feature is they pick you up at your Hotel.
Our turtle tour highlights of Rome by golf cart with Michael was a great way to get an introduction to Rome. With so much to see in a short window of time this was the perfect way to do it. Michael was super knowledgeable, friendly and definitely knew how to navigate through the city of Rome. Stopping for gelato was a treat and a visit with entrance to the Trevi fountain was awesome. Thank you for being such a great host/ guide and for helping us to have such a memorable experience!
The tour was outstanding, the stop at The Vista rooftop for drinks and appetizers was delicious, the atmosphere a perfect start to our vacation. Our guide was clearly gifted in getting around Rome and hit all the key spots we wanted to see.
