THE TRANSFER

Port-to-city private transfer included

The service includes the transfer between Civitavecchia and Rome (or vice versa) as part of the private 4‑hour tour, simplifying logistics for cruise arrivals and departures.

THE SITES

A concentrated tour of Rome’s essentials

In roughly three hours on the ground you can see many of Rome’s most famous attractions—or focus a brief visit on a single site such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain or the Spanish Steps—shaped to your interests.

THE SERVICE

English‑speaking driver, luxury vehicle and secure luggage

An English‑speaking tour driver escorts the itinerary in an A/C luxury vehicle (Mercedes or similar), guards your luggage at the vehicle while you visit sites, and provides complementary bottled water.

What the day feels like

What the four‑hour experience feels like

You step off (or on to) your ship in Civitavecchia and into a private, climate‑controlled vehicle; over the next four hours an English‑speaking driver guides a compact Roman circuit, pausing for photos and brief visits at landmark sites while staying with your luggage and then delivering you to your requested Rome address or onward transport. The route and stops are molded to your priorities so the visit reads as a concentrated primer rather than an exhaustive city tour.
