What to expect

Your driver meets you at Civitavecchia holding a nameplate. The drive to Rome takes roughly 90 minutes each way, eating into your eight hours, so expect 4–5 hours of actual time on foot in the city. You'll walk between major sites—the pace is brisk because you're covering a lot. Lunch is a solo affair; bring cash or know where you'll eat beforehand. Wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen. The written guide helps but doesn't replace a historian's commentary; you're getting transport and logistics sorted, not a deep dive.
