This was a wonderful trip into Rome from the cruise port. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and had an excellent plan for how to get around Rome for us to see as much as possible in one day! I couldn’t have planned it any better.

We were picked up right at the ship by our driver/guide Ricardo. There were only three couples in a very comfortable minivan. Ricardo did an amazing job dealing with the heavy traffic and narrow streets to get us close to all the major sites. He gave us good directions and helpful information. He really went over and above to make sure we could see as much as possible in the allotted time.

What a perfect day in Rome! Matteo made sure we got a great overview of this beautiful city and explained the history in such a way to give the sites we were seeing context and the necessary framework. He also gave our group the option of enjoying a relaxing Italian lunch together, and I’m so glad he did. This meal - far away from the tourist traps - was the best meal of our entire trip. If you only have a short time to spend in Rome, this is the perfect excursion!
