What to expect
After pickup from the port, you'll settle into the minivan for a scenic drive inland. Once in Rome, expect a structured day moving between significant sites with your guide, starting with the Vatican Museums. The pace is steady—you're covering substantial ground in nine hours, so there's walking involved but nothing extreme. Your guide will contextualise what you're seeing, though the sheer volume of Rome means you're sampling highlights rather than lingering deeply anywhere. You'll return to port with time to spare before departure.
Good to know
Dress code is strict: knees and shoulders must be covered for entry to religious sites and museums. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring water. Prams and stroller transport is possible for infants. Those with heart conditions should reconsider given the walking and standing involved.
