In Rome Vans are better than Buses: Van = up to 8 seats, Bus = from 9 to 50 seats. Note that Buses are not allow in the historical areas of Rome (official ship excursions from Cruise Companies are operated with Buses). This mean that the Bus will drop you off and you will walk for the entire duration of the tour (6/7 hours) to the other side of town at the end of the tour to be picked up. Best Viator’s Rome excursions are with private Vans. Bus in Rome has only a small number of authorized spaces dedicated to pickup/dropoff travellers so, usually, during the city tour you had to walk for about 4/6 miles. In a big group chance are that you'll have to wait much longer for people lingering at the sights and stand in line longer for the toilets or at the snack counter. You will also have much less one on one time with your driver and guide or time to ask questions, because you'll have to share them with a lot more people.
Vans and their drivers will be at your complete disposal for the entire duration of the tour and can take you and stop where Buses cannot go, very close to all attractions, you will walk definitely less and see more!

As it was very hot the air conditioned vehicle between visits was superb. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had sorted out everything so we were able to visit all the sites. Please ask him to send the photos to my email address.

Excellent driver & even better guide. Francesca was phenomenal. Could not have seen, learned and done as much any other way. We had a group of 12 and you made it a great day. Thank you for such a wonderful outing.

We took the "Civitavecchia Cruise Port Shore Excursion with Full Day Rome with "Skip-the Line" Vatican Museums (including the Sistine Chapel) & Colosseum" tour offered by Viator with "Italy Best Excursions" providing our driver, Govani and our personal Rome guide, Francesco. We had only one day in Rome and knew it more than likely be our one shot deal to visit Rome. In the days time we had we were able to see and do everything on our list and much more. Although our ship offered extra tours to individual locations in Rome, we wanted to do much more....and we did! Many thanks to our driver, Govani, and expert/knowledgable Rome Guide, Francesco, for making our visit to Rome so enjoyable with memories to last a lifetime.
