The experience

How do you see Rome's highlights without a fixed itinerary dictating your time at each place? This tour leaves Civitavecchia Port and moves through the city's major attractions on a minivan, but the stops themselves are yours to control. You get out at each of the eight locations: starting with Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica, then moving through Piazza Venezia, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, and Janiculum Hill for a panoramic view, and the minivan waits at the same spot to pick you up when you're ready to move on. An audio guide in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Russian plays during the drives between stops, so you get context without a live guide narrating the whole day.

The minivan itself is air-conditioned, which matters in Rome's summer heat, and the route is designed to hit the landmarks most visitors want without forcing you to rush through any of them. Spanish Steps gives you a natural break for lunch or shopping if you want it. Janiculum Hill closes out the day with a view across the city before you head back to the port. The tour runs seven hours total, which is long enough to feel unhurried at most stops but short enough to fit a port day.

You choose between a private tour, just your group in the minivan, or a shared departure with up to eight passengers. Both include the same stops, the same audio guide and the same round-trip transport from the port. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with very young children.

What's the difference between the private tour and the shared tour?

Does the tour include entry to Vatican City or St. Peter's Basilica?

How long does the whole tour take, and when does it end?

The tour runs seven hours from Civitavecchia Port, covering all eight stops and the round-trip transport. The schedule is designed to get you back to the port in time for your ship's departure.
