What to expect
Your driver collects you from Civitavecchia and drives you to central Rome. Once there, your guide leads you through four major sites, each with its own historical weight. The Colosseum can feel crowded, but you'll get context for what you're seeing. The Forum is more atmospheric—ruins scattered across open ground rather than a single structure. The Spanish Steps are lively and chaotic; expect crowds and street performers. Trevi Fountain draws serious queues. Walking covers roughly 8–10 kilometres split across stops, with breaks built in.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The guide fee and vehicle are included; meals are not. Rome gets hot in summer—early morning starts help. Arrive at the port early to confirm pickup times with your guide.
