Cruise Critic Roll Call

One of our drivers will meet you at port of Civitavecchia. He will be waiting outside of the cruise ship terminal, holding a sign with the group name on it.

The tour starts at St. Peter's Basilica, which is the largest church in the world. Admire Michelangelo's "Pieta" and the beautiful Bernini Pulpit. Then continue to the sites of Renaissance and Baroque Rome: the stunning Spanish steps  and of course the city's most famous fountain - the Trevi Fountain. According to the legend, by throwing a coin into the fountain it will ensure that you return to Rome.

Next the heart of Ancient Rome: Capitoline Hill and the famous Roman Forum and the Colosseum, the symbol of the city and one of the world's most famous buildings where gladiator spectacles took place. Then continue on to see Palatine Hill and Circus Maximus.

Your guide will show you other attractions such as Castle St. Angelo and its bridge, the Italian Senate, The Marble Foot and Cat Street (Roman Curiosity), Trajan's Column, Imperial Fora, Trajan's Market, The Maps of the Empire, Arch of Constantine, Marcus Aurelius's Column, Parliament and Council of Ministers, St. Nicholas in Chains, temples of Apollo, Vesta and Janus, and Quirinal Palace.

For lunch you can choose between a quick bite to eat en route or a leisurely meal in a local restaurant. We will always be happy to suggest the best place in the area and we particularly enjoy taking visitors to quaint little restaurants where you will get an authentic atmosphere of Rome.

Important notice: The Basilica of St Peter's might close for last minute ceremonies or mass. We will try to inform you as soon as we can but not always possible. In this case if you have booked a Vatican guide through us you will pay a lower fee for that.

After this wonderful day out, you will be driven back on perfect time to re board your  ship.                                         

If we start our tour at 8.00/8.30am we'll be back at ship by 5.00/5.30pm.

Please note that the order of the itinerary might change.
