Rome's Squares by Golf Cart with a Licensed Guide

The operator sells this as a semi-private golf cart tour of Rome's squares: Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. An official guide comes with it. In Italy that qualification is a state exam and a regional licence, which is the difference between someone who may legally guide you inside a monument and someone who may not. The meeting point is at the Colosseum, above the Metro B station. The Circo Massimo is on the route as well. Piazza Venezia holds two balconies on the same square. One is the balcony Mussolini spoke from, on Palazzo Venezia. The other belonged to Letizia Bonaparte, Napoleon's mother, who spent the last twenty years of her life in Rome watching her son's empire come apart from a window a hundred metres away. The Altare della Patria stands between them. The rest of the round is Via del Corso, Piazza Navona with Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers at its centre, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps with Trinità dei Monti above and the Barcaccia below, the Trevi Fountain, and Piazza del Popolo. The stories rather than the dates are the point. Each square is a piece of a different century, and the guide connects them. Radio and headphones are included. Bookings take up to six travellers, and the guiding is available in English, Italian, French and Spanish.
