A Reunion on Wheels: When Old Friends Meet Again in the Heart of Rome

Reunions are always special – but when they happen in the timeless streets of Rome, they become unforgettable. This week, I had the pleasure of welcoming my old tennis mate Irmgard from the Netherlands, along with her partner and their adorable dog, for a private eco-friendly tour through the Eternal City. What followed was a day filled with sunshine, laughter, hidden corners, and the joy of rediscovering Rome together.

The Experience

Some days in Rome feel like pure magic — and this one truly did.
Recently, I had the joy of welcoming my old tennis mate Irmgard from the Netherlands, who came to Rome with her partner and their charming little dog. The moment they hopped aboard our eco-friendly electric tuk tuk, it felt as if no time had passed at all.

A Dog-Friendly Adventure Through Hidden Rome 🐾

At ETuk Tours Rome, we believe everyone should be able to experience the Eternal City — even our four-legged friends! That’s why our tours are dog-friendly, offering comfort, shade, and a smooth ride through the city’s cobbled streets. Irmgard’s dog seemed to enjoy the ride as much as we did, ears flapping in the breeze as we cruised through Rome’s historic heart.

Through the Charming Streets of the Eternal City

We were lucky with the weather — soft sunlight, a gentle breeze, and that unmistakable Roman glow that makes everything look cinematic.
Our route took us through Rome’s little hidden streets, away from the crowds, where locals go about their day and every corner reveals a new story. We stopped for photos at the Turtle Fountain, one of the city’s most graceful Renaissance treasures, and wandered near the Portico d’Octavia in the Jewish District, a place steeped in history and character.

More Than a Tour — A Personal Moment

For me, this wasn’t just another tour — it was a beautiful reunion. Seeing Irmgard again, catching up on life, and sharing laughter as we rediscovered Rome together made the day truly special. And as always, the tuk tuk turned heads and sparked smiles wherever we went.

Irmgard and I first met back in 1990 during our tennis teacher training. We became instant friends, but life took us on different paths — until now. After 35 years, reuniting felt as if no time had passed at all.

It’s days like these that remind me why I love what I do — connecting with people, sharing the beauty of Rome, and creating memories that last far beyond the cobblestones.

Fernando and the golf cart tour of Rome was the best decision we made! He was kind and engaging. We passed all the main sites, and we got to learn about each one and get out to explore briefly and take photos. Not having to walk was a game changer in the July heat! I would 100% recommend!

Our 3 hour ETuk tour was the perfect way for us to experience our one day in Rome. We saw the highlights, got to customize the experience. And our driver/guide, Fabrizio was charming, personable and knowledgeable. He catered to our interests, and pace. We would highly recommend this experience when in Rome.

Our golf cart tour of Rome was one of the highlights of our entire trip, and that was all thanks to our incredible guide, Fabrizio! Traveling in the heat with young kids can be challenging, but Fabrizio made the experience fun, engaging, and completely stress-free. He grew up in Rome, so he was incredibly knowledgeable and knew the best ways to take and the best spots. We never felt rushed, and he made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop for photos, the best gelato spot, and take in the beauty of Rome. Exploring Rome by golf cart was the perfect way to see so much while staying comfortable, especially with children. If you’re considering a golf cart tour in Rome, ask for Fabrizio, you won’t regret it!!

Our absolute favorite experience in Rome! A wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective. Especially on a hot day! Fabrizio was an amazing tour guide. He was so warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. We loved all of the information and interesting facts he shared with us. we were so sad when the tour ended. Highly recommend this activity. And if you can request, Fabrizio, definitely do!
