What To Expect
Colosseum
Your fabulous Charming VIP Ancient Rome Shore excursion will begin as your English Speaking Driver picks you up you up from your cruise at the Civitavecchia Port and chauffeurs you to Rome city Center. In an elegant and comfortable Mercedes Benz Vehicle you will be chauffeured to the first stop of your tour: Colosseum and Roman Forum! Admire the glorious Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the capital's most remarkable monuments. During the Roman Empire the Roman Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years.
Circo Massimo
Move on with the tour and reach Circus Maximus, the largest stadium in Ancient Rome, built for chariot races. Imagine to be taking part of one of the Circus Maximus chariot races competitions in which participants tried to complete seven laps of the Circus Maximus. The competitors, mounted in small chariots drawn by horses, gambled much more than their prestige or large prizes in the races, since many of them were slaves fighting for their liberty.

5.00Our tour of Rome was absolutely amazing and we were especially grateful for our driver, Alex Paolini. Alex was very attentive to our needs regarding my husbands physical challenges and made sure we did the least amount of walking but still saw the sites. Thank you Alex for a wonderful day!
Just Wow!!

5.00Wow! This was an amazing experience! Beatrice was beyond knowledgeable and gave us so much great information. She is such an awesome tour guide. Told us the best places for pictures, directions to see the best sites. She gave us ample amount of time at all the places we wanted to go. We saw almost everything on our “list” and then some. She started our day at a quaint bakery where we had pastries and coffee. We would not have been able to do this on a large group tour. We also were able to get places that the bus tours would not have been able to take you. She is so informative and answered any questions that we had. She is very passionate about her work and loves Rome so much. It showed in her excitement of sharing the city with us. I would highly recommend this excursion!
Excellent choice!

5.00We hired a private driver during our time in Rome, and this experience exceeded our expectations. Our driver Giuliano was punctual and professional, and was also incredibly knowledgeable about Romes history and landmarks. Giuliano shared fascinating insights throughout our journey. Giuliano also went the extra mile, adjusting our itinerary on the spot and accommodating last-minute changes. He he was very adaptable and flexible and his friendly demeanor and commitment to making our experience seamless made a huge difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore Rome and highly recommend Giuliano! Janine and Lynley from NZ

5.00Alex Paolini was very friendly, efficient, and extremely willing to help make things happen! We had to divert around police blockade for Pope activity and he made the best of that difficult situation. Overall rating is a 5 out of 5!

5.00We had one day in Rome and wanted to make the most of it. We booked Civitavecchia to Rome City: Private Tour of Rome Highlights through Viator. Our driver, Alex Paolini, picked us up as we disembarked our ship and whisked us off to Rome. We saw all the major sites with time to walk around at our own pace and take pictures at each location. With Alex we were able to see everything we wanted to see; St Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and Circus Maximus. Afterwards, he took us out of the tourist area to a neighborhood restaurant with delicious Italian cuisine. We ended with Alex driving us back to Civitavecchia right at our ship to reboard. I highly recommend this tour and asking for Alex as your driver.

5.00Salvatore, our guide/driver, was the one of the best private tour drivers we had during our cruise trip. He was prompt, accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy. Travelling in a group of 6 with both toddler and seniors, he ensured we had enough time to see all the famous landmarks in Rome but also to avoid any places that might be too crowded or unsafe for our group. Furthermore, he took us to beautiful viewpoints which were not overcrowded for group photos and recommended a lunch spot which was one of his own personal favourites. Unlike a typical touristy spot, they served authentic Italian food enjoyed by locals. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend him to others.
Beautiful visit to Rome

5.00Our driver Paolo was excellent. He took us to several places in the city we were not aware of and provided a lot of great information all along the tour. He gave us a great tip to skip the line to get into St. Peter’s Square and Basílica which worked excellent.
When in Rome.. do the tour!
