This week, we take a detour from our usual topics of Italian food, culture, and destinations to talk about environmentally-conscious touring in Rome.
Eco-Friendly Rome: Announcing Our Golf Cart Tours
As you’re probably already aware. The Eternal City of Rome is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Its history, monuments, art, architecture, and archeological treasures are rivalled only by the richness of its culture, food, and natural beauty. But all this fantasticness comes at a price: Rome has become increasingly more crowded and chaotic over the years.
As crowds and chaos have increased, the demand for smaller, eco?conscious tours has also been increasing. Travelers are looking for ways to beat the crowds and get a more intimate look at the city. They are also more conscious about their impact as visitors, with regard to both carbon emissions and noise pollution. Golf cart tours have emerged as an ideal new option on the shifting landscape of tourism in heavily visited places like Rome.
Not only are savvy travelers seeking to avoid crowds, reduce their carbon footprint, and minimize walking, but they are also seeking unique and customized experiences. DriverInRome has been specializing in personalized tours for over thirty-five years, and now we bring that expertise to a new generation of tours: our very own golf cart tours of Rome!
We launch our venture into the world of eco-friendly tours with three itineraries that cover all the bases:
- Highlights of Rome 3-Hour Private Golf Cart Tour
- Unknown Wonders of Rome 3-Hour Private Golf Cart Tour
- Rome Illuminated 2-Hour Private Evening Golf Cart Tour
Our Highlights of Rome golf cart tour is a perfect way to see the iconic monuments of The Eternal City in just three hours. If you’ve been to Rome numerous times, our Unknown Wonders itinerary should be just the ticket for something off the beaten path. Romantics and lovers of photography will want to make note of our Rome Illuminated tour that showcases the shimmering beauty of the city in the glow of its evening lights.
Golf Cart Tours in Rome: A Few Facts
The History of Golf Cart Tours in Rome
Operational in Rome for over a decade now, the appeal of golf cart tours lies in their ability to provide a convenient and comfortable way to navigate Rome’s narrow streets and dense traffic. This is especially beneficial for older visitors, families with young children, or those with mobility challenges. The electric golf carts used for these tours are ideal for the city’s historic districts, where larger vehicles are often impractical.
Golf Carts Used for Touring: Quick Specifics
The vehicles we use for our eco-friendly tours of Rome are street-legal, electric-powered golf carts that can hold up to 5 passengers (one in the front beside the driver, two in the middle facing forward, and two in the back facing backward).
For those guests who are not as spry as they once were, you’ll be happy to know these electric vehicles are easy to get in and out of!
Golf Cart Tours of Rome: The Experience Summarized
Imagine yourself zipping around The Eternal City under the shade of a canopy with the wind on your skin and an unobstructed view of Rome’s most popular monuments. Besides being fun, our golf carts are electric-powered and silent, so you can tour with the tranquility of knowing you’re not contributing pollutants and noise to the scene (except for maybe some laughter and a few exclamations of Wow!).
