The experience

Your driver meets you at the dock in Civitavecchia with your name on a sign, loads your bags and drives you straight to Rome without any shuttle transfers. The route covers five landmarks in a single morning or afternoon: you walk around the Colosseum's exterior to save time for other sites, have the option to enter the Pantheon, toss a coin at Trevi Fountain, climb the Spanish Steps and see Piazza Navona. The driver narrates the history and highlights as you move between them, so you get context without needing a separate guide.

The minivan is air-conditioned and seats your group privately, which means no waiting for other passengers or following a fixed schedule around crowded stops. If you want to enter the Colosseum, you can arrange that in advance and pay the entrance fee directly to the driver on the day. At the end, the driver takes you to your hotel in the city or directly to the airport for your flight, so the tour ends where you need to be.

Top questions

Can I enter the Colosseum on this tour, or do we just see it from outside?

The tour walks around the Colosseum's exterior by default to fit all five landmarks into five hours. You can arrange entry in advance if you want to go inside. The entrance fee is 18 euros per person, paid to your driver on the day.

What happens if my cruise ship is delayed and I'm not at the dock on time?

At booking, you provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time so the driver can adjust the pickup if the ship runs late. Contact the operator as soon as you know of any delay.

Do I have to walk a lot on this tour?

You walk between the five landmarks and around each site, so moderate physical fitness is needed. The Pantheon is the only one you enter. The others are viewed from outside or from short walks nearby.

Where does the tour drop me off at the end?

Your driver takes you to your hotel in Rome or directly to the airport for your departure flight, whichever you choose at booking.

Is lunch included on the five-hour tour?

Food and drinks are not included. The tour focuses on sightseeing and does not include a meal stop.

What should I wear on this tour?

Smart casual dress is recommended. Wear comfortable walking shoes since you'll be moving between the five sites on foot.
