Tour description

Your private driver will pick you up in Civitavecchia and take you to Rome in just over an hour. You'll travel in comfortable executive-class vehicles.

Upon arriving near the Vatican, you'll meet your private guide, specialised in art history. The tour begins at St. Peter's Square and continues with a visit to St. Peter's Basilica, uncovering the secrets and untold stories of the Popes and the great artists who shaped the Vatican.

At the end of the visit, enjoy a pleasant and relaxing lunch break before getting ready to discover the wonders of Rome.

Your panoramic tour will take you past the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine and Piazza Venezia, with the freedom to personalise the route and choose the best stops for iconic photos together with your guide.

You'll then head to the Trevi Fountain, toss your coin and set off on a walking tour through Rome's most authentic corners and hidden secrets: the Spanish Steps with their elegant staircase, the Pantheon with its millennia of history and Piazza Navona with its spectacular Baroque fountains.

Sit back and relax on the journey back to the port of Civitavecchia. You'll arrive in plenty of time to complete your boarding procedures at ease.
