Evening Golf Cart Tour of Rome with Drinks

Mike was a delightful and knowledgeable guide but we got a lot less than what the tour description said was included: "stop by three different bars to enjoy Prosecco, Artisanal Beer, and local snacks. See and learn about the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Palatine and Aventine hills, the Mouth of Truth, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and..." We only stopped at one venue for wine & snacks (no one wanted to stop at brewery, which was fine) but we did not see Trevi nor Patheon, nor Piazza Navona. Instead, the cart died and Mike just pointed us towards which way to walk (in the dark) to get back to pick up point (2 blocks from our hotel) and a cab stand. We started walking but found we were lost and hailed a cab. Mike should have found a way to get us back to pick up/drop off point (even walked us there) instead of just leaving us to our own devices in a strange city, at night, knowing we didn't speak the language. We were lucky to get a cab on that dark street and should have used his tip to pay for cab fare. I'd really like to get some of our money back.

We booked this tour as a way to end our 30th anniversary vacation. With the cost being $150 per person, we believed since it was a special occasion, we would pay this and expected it to be a blast as commented by other people who had done this tour. Our tour guide picked us up on time at the location indicated on our booking. During the 2 1/2 hours of the tour (on line it says it was 3 hours), we had approximately 3 drinks ( we stopped for these on the way. They were not in a cooler on the cart as reviews had said and therefore not unlimited) and an apertivo platter that we shared with 2 other ladies on the tour and our driver. We also stopped at one attraction which was the green door with the key hole and drove by other attractions. He then drove us to the Spanish Steps and told us that this was the end of the tour! Only 2 1/2 hours not 3. We were basically abandoned there to find our way back. We were not taken back to our pickup location. This was not indicated in the description. So, we were left to fend for ourselves to find a restaurant to eat at and then find our way back to our hotel. We randomly picked a place to eat. If we had known that we would have been left here, we would have planned ahead and researched a restaurant in the area and made sure that we could find our way back to our hotel. We could not find our way back and had to spend 10 euros for a taxi on top of the $300 we had already spent for the two of us on the golf cart tour. I feel that we should be reimbursed for at least part of what we paid since it is not worth $150 per person. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Definitely not worth the money. What a way to end our 30th anniversary trip. It has left a bad memory of Rome in our minds and I still think about it 2 weeks later.

We were the only couple on this tour, so it ended up being a private tour! Our driver/ guide was Alessandro, and he was fantastic! This was a great way to see the city, we stopped for appertivo, cruised around with our beers, it was great fun! Highly recommend!
