About this tour
This 8–9 hour private excursion from Civitavecchia port takes you through Rome's iconic landmarks without the typical tourist crush. Your dedicated driver navigates you past Navona Square, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and St Peter's Basilica, weaving through lesser-known treasures like the Jewish Ghetto and Teatro Marcello. After lunch at a local spot of your choosing, you'll visit the Colosseum with skip-the-line entry, then catch the panoramic views from Gianicolo before heading back to your ship.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from the port and spends the morning driving past Rome's most photographed spots. You'll have time to walk around Navona, the Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain at your own pace, then pause for lunch somewhere the driver recommends. Afternoon focuses on the Colosseum—your tickets are ready, entry fast-tracked. Expect 4–5 hours of actual walking and standing; the rest is comfortable car travel. The driver fills gaps between sites with Roman history and local context rather than scripted speeches.
Good to know
Bring valid passport or ID matching your booking name—entry will be refused otherwise. Wear comfortable shoes; afternoons are heavy on foot traffic at major landmarks. Lunch costs are separate. The tour suits moderate fitness; steep terrain and long walks aren't ideal for those with heart conditions. Strollers and wheelchair accessibility available upon request.
