The experience

The tour starts with pickup at 8am at your cruise ship dock in Civitavecchia. Your driver brings you into Rome's center in about an hour, then the real tour begins. At that point, your driver discusses which sites to prioritize and plans the route accordingly, so you're not locked into a fixed itinerary. The golf cart lets you move between landmarks without the walking fatigue of a traditional Rome tour, and you stay in an air-conditioned vehicle between stops.

The sites you can visit include the Spanish Steps (174 steps built in 1723–1725), Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, Piazza Navona with its fountain of the four rivers, Piazza della Bocca della Verità (where you can place your hand in the ancient marble mouth), Piazza del Campidoglio for views of the Roman Forum, the Theater of Marcellus, and the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola on Janiculum Hill overlooking Trastevere. Which ones you actually reach depends on how long you linger at each and which your driver recommends based on crowds and your interests.

Return to Civitavecchia port is scheduled for 5pm, timed to get you back before your ship departs. Note that some monuments may be under restoration due to the Jubilee, so your driver may suggest alternatives if certain sites are closed on your day.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 9).

How long does it take to get from Civitavecchia port to Rome's city center?

About one hour by car. Pickup happens at your cruise ship dock at 8am, and you arrive in central Rome ready to start the tour.

Can I choose which sites to visit, or is the itinerary fixed?

You customize it with your driver at the start. He discusses your interests and calculates the route to fit as many sites as time allows, so the tour adapts to what matters most to you.

What is the Bocca della Verità and why is it on this tour?

The Bocca della Verità is an ancient marble mouth in Piazza della Bocca della Verità. According to legend, it was used as a lie detector in the Middle Ages. If you told a lie with your hand inside it, the mouth would close. It's a small but memorable stop that fits easily into the golf cart route.

Will I have time to get out and walk around at each site, or do I just see them from the cart?

You get out and walk at the stops. The golf cart is how you move between landmarks without tiring yourself. At each site, you have time to explore on foot and take photos.

What happens if my ship needs to leave before 5pm?

Tell your driver your ship's departure time when he picks you up. He will adjust the route and return time to make sure you're back at the port safely before your vessel leaves.

Are there any sites I definitely won't see because of time?

The tour includes as many sites as time permits, so it depends on how long you spend at each one and which ones your driver recommends. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona are major stops, but smaller sites like the Theater of Marcellus or Fontana dell'Acqua Paola may be skipped if time runs short.
