Years ago, on my first cruise to Rome, we chose to try to see it by ourselves. Not the best idea. Partlly due to the Jubilee, Rome was so crowded this April so we were so happy Nico took us (our group of 4 as well as another family of 4) to the major sites giving us time to check things out. Especially for the price, I would highly recommend this tour.

Met our driver right outside the terminal. Van was spacious. Our driver was very flexible to what our group wanted. We avoided the Vatican due to the crowds from Jubilee and the Pope’s passing. Ended it perfectly with a lookout point of Rome.

This tour was great. We were picked up at the pier. Driven to Rome for a day tour of Rome and the Vatican. Our driver, Matteo, was very informative and get info from the moment we were picked up. Being in a small group allow flexibility to get out in front of the crowds.

Wow! Our guide was amazing. He showed us places I would never have found on my own. There was a special event happening in the city (King Charles was visiting) so the regular route was blocked. Our guide adapted and found new ways to show us the attractions on the itinerary.
