Experiencing the Apian way and catacombs - in a golf cart! - For our final day in Rome, we did this golf cart tour along the ancient Appian way passing by the Baths of Caracalla, part of the aqueducts, Church of Domine Quo Vadis, and the Catacombs of St. Callixtus. Our guide, Cristina, was fantastic! Riding in the golf cart was a great way to experience the Appian Way, and we could smell the oleander trees that lined the road to the catacombs. After the tour, Cristina dropped us off back to our hotel for not extra charge.

A wonderful experience - This golf cart tour to the Appian Way and the catacombs was marvellous. Our driver and guide, Cristina, was wonderful - enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. The drive from near the Colosseum took us past a range of notable sites along the way, and Christina gave us a great commentary on each of them. Being in an open air golf cart was a special thrill to our 10 year old granddaughter and it was a memorable experience for her to walk on the Appian Way on the same paving stones as people in ancient Roman times.
