About this experience
Rome, the Eternal City, is a living museum where every street, square, and monument tells a story. On this full-day tour from Civitavecchia port, you’ll uncover the best of Rome with the guidance of an expert local guide, bringing the past to life in unforgettable detail.
Your day begins at the cruise terminal “Largo della Pace”, where you’ll meet your guide and assistant before boarding a comfortable air-conditioned coach to Rome. Along the way, enjoy scenic countryside views and an introduction to the day’s itinerary. Upon arrival, you’ll receive headsets and radios to ensure you hear your guide clearly throughout the tour.
The first stop is St. Peter’s Square, designed by Bernini, where you'll admire the impressive façade of St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the most important churches in the world. Your guide will share insights about the Vatican’s significance in religious and cultural history.
You’ll then rejoin the coach for a panoramic drive through Rome, passing major sites such as the Circus Maximus, the Roman Forum, Tiber Island, and the historic Trastevere district. Your guide will provide fascinating commentary about these legendary landmarks as you travel through the heart of the city.
Next, you’ll stop near the Colosseum, Rome’s most iconic structure, where your guide will walk you through its grand history—from gladiator battles to imperial politics. From there, the tour continues on foot, passing the Roman Forum and Piazza Venezia, home to the striking Altare della Patria, symbol of unified Italy.
No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at the Trevi Fountain, where legend says tossing a coin guarantees your return to the Eternal City. You’ll also explore the Pantheon, one of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome, and Piazza Navona, known for its baroque architecture and lively street scene.
After some free time for lunch or a snack (around 30 minutes) near the Trevi Fountain or Piazza Navona, your guide will accompany you back to the coach. The return at Civitavecchia will be at around 17:20, in time to take the free shuttle back to your cruise ship.
