Civitavecchia
Best of Rome
A shared van from the cruise pier into Rome, capped at eight people
Sightseeing
Why We Love it
The route isn't set until you set it — the hour in from Civitavecchia is when you and the driver agree what Rome you actually want, lunch stop included.
The Experience
Nine hours from the cruise pier at Civitavecchia in a shared van with an English-speaking driver, eight people maximum, with the hour-plus drive each way used to agree what you actually want to see.
The run through the centre takes in the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Capitoline Hill, the Colosseum from outside and Vatican City, with a stop your driver picks for a local-style lunch. He stays with the van rather than walking you around, and entrance fees are not included — this is a way to cover the city and get back to the ship on time, not a guided walking tour.
My pick for cruise passengers who want as much of Rome as one day allows without paying for a private car, and for anyone content to walk into the sites on their own.
