About this experience
One of the biggest archaeological parks of the world, is waiting for you on our golf cart. Venture with us on the famous Appian Way where Spartacus, Crassus and Commodus left their marks for ever. Tired of lining up in front of the city’s must see attractions? 3 km from the Colosseum, there’s and incredible protected area of 4580 hectares and more than 2000 years of history. The famous Appian Way where Spartacus was defeated together with his 6000 slaves, the catacombs, the Circus of Emperor Maxentius (set of Ben Hur) together with many other sites are waiting for you. A peaceful experience to dive into nature and local anecdotes so far from mass tourism that you won’t believe you’re still in the capital.

What you'll see and do
Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis
The fist stop will be at the Domine Quo Vadis Church - where the encounter between Jesus and Saint Peter took place and the miraculous footprints are still preserved. According to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, Saint Peter met here the risen Christ while Petrus was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to the tradition, Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" (Latin: Domine, quo vadis?). Christ answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again"

Catacombe di San Callisto
Entrance ticket and guided tour of the Catacombs of S. Callisto or S. Sebastiano (according to availability) is included. The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of 90 acres, with a network of galleries about 12 miles long, in four levels, more than twenty meters deep. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and very many Christians.
60 minutes here · Admission included
Circus of Maxentius
Once on the Appian Way again we will stop and enter the Circus Of Maxentius – the second biggest Roman circus that was probably never used, set of the film Ben Hur. The Circus itself is the best preserved in the area of Rome, and is second only in size to the Circus Maximus in Rome. The only games recorded at the circus were its inaugural ones and these are generally thought to have been funerary in character. They would have been held in honour of Maxentius' son Valerius Romulus, who died in AD 309 at a very young age and who was probably interred in the adjacent cylindrical tomb (tomb of Romulus).

Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella e Castrum Caetani - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
On the top of the hill we will have a stop and explanation of the biggest tomb of the via Appia, the Tomb of Cecilia Metalla and the Caetani castle (entrance not included, you don't need to buy any ticket); on the opposite side of the road the guide will take you close to one of a kind example of Cistercian gothic style: S. Nicola Church.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Complesso di Capo di Bove - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
The private villa of the multi-millionaire philosopher, preceptor of the emperor Marcus Aurelius

Villa dei Quintili e Santa Maria Nova - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
One of the biggest residential areas of the suburb of Rome, originally owned by the brothers killed at the hand of Emperor Commodus, who sadly went down in history as one the worst emperors throughout time. Entrance not included, you don't need to buy any ticket.

Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)
If you take a look at the map, you’ll notice incredible burial places lining the Regina Viarum. Catacombs, churches, sepulchers and mausoleums, but why all this burial places here? Well, this is one of the many answers you’ll get during our guided tour on golf cart on the Appian Way.

This was great tour of a portion of the Appian Way provided by a very knowledgeable guide. We learned so much about the early Roman republics history and customs. The catacombs are a must see.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome: Appian Way & Catacombs Golf Cart Tour - Shared|Small groups start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
