Explore the Appian Way by golf cart, hear stories of ancient Rome, and discover the Catacombs and Circus of Maxentius on a 3-hour tour.

About this tour

Trade Rome’s busy streets for the quiet lanes of the Appian Way on a 3-hour golf cart tour through one of the world’s largest archaeological parks. Along this ancient road, stories of Spartacus, Crassus and Commodus bring the landscape’s long history to life.

Ride through a protected area described as spanning 4,580 hectares, with more than 2,000 years of history. The route takes in the Catacombs and the Circus of Maxentius, known as a filming location for Ben-Hur, alongside other historic sites. Your guide shares local anecdotes as you explore a greener, more peaceful side of the capital, about 3 km from the Colosseum.

The tour lasts 180 minutes and includes 1/2 L of mineral water per person. Entry to Cecilia Metella’s Tomb and Villa dei Quintili is not included, and the tour does not visit their interiors. Choose this Rome Appian Way and Catacombs Golf Cart Tour for a relaxed way to discover ancient landmarks beyond the city center.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 25 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
