Luxury Private Full-day Rome Tour From Civitavecchia Port

Ciro was an excellent driver who was able to get us into the important sites in Rome during a major protest. He was able to travel many alternative routes to hit all of the hot spots. However, the Mercedes van was somewhat dated—637000 km on odometer. This tour does not come with an English speaking guide. Ciro was only a driver. The company advises to download an audio guide but we could not download to my wife’s I phone so we did our own guiding from. Chat GPT. The day was lovely and we were able to see all of the sites—Ciro came through.

Andrea did an outstanding driver. He was very accommodating and flexible with our schedules and ensured we were able to see all site we wanted with plenty of time.

If you are looking to see as much as you can in Roma for a day this is the best! Ciro was our driver and he helped with my 84 year old mother’s luggage, found our hotel and did so much more! He made us feel like royalty! Don’t be worried about the language barrier. Because he speaks fluent Italian, he was able to navigate for us and we used Google Translate when we couldn’t find the words together. It was magnificent! The day is tailored to your liking with a flexible itinerary. Bravo bravo!

This was the best tour ! Ciro our driver was amazing . He gave us a lot of information and took us everywhere we wanted to go. He was truly at our disposal. We asked for lunch he took us to a delicious restaurant, everything was 10/10 . Best way to see Rome ! Definitely book this !

Tiziana was an amazing tour guide. She was able to customize our entire trip. They were able to pre-book our tickets to Colosseum and inside the Pantheon. She also went to the Lego store for us. Got fresh pizza, cappuccino, in Spanish steps, and the Trevi fountain. 10/10 and highly recommend.

THIS IS the way to see Rome. Are van was comfortable and air conditioned. Our driver Carlos who was a native from the area was fantastic. His knowledge and love for this region truly made it a great day. We enjoyed our ride. The fantastic lunch that carlos recommended and an awesome soundtrack while touring. Dealing with this company was effortless and very professional.

We were Fransico On private drive in Rome. We did see all the sights but due to long lines ( and we did not get tickets - our bad) to see Vatican and Collosium. Fransico was very knowledgeable.

The tour company was great to work with and was very accommodating to our groups needs. We had a large amount of luggage and they arranged to have two vans to pick us up for minimal cost. Our tour driver Allassandro allowed us to dictate what we saw and he was great and very accommodating to our needs. We had a great afternoon and he was able to recommend several places for us to eat.

This is a must in Rome. Our driver George, took us right to the most spectacular sites. And, we were dropped off right there and picked up in an appropriate amount of time to see it all. I have to say, this is the most efficient way to see all the sites with the minimum amount of effort! Loved it.

We had a great driver, Giorgio (George). He was very accommodating and a safe driver. He provided information about the sites we visited (via prerecorded commentary). The only reservation I had was about not being able to enter the Vatican or Coliseum. I didn’t know we needed to pay an additional fee for admission. However we marveled at the beauty and richness of the ancient architectural designs.

Our driver Simon was very flexible and gave us just the right amount of time at each part of Rome that we wanted to visit with our kids. He was very prompt, and the van was always exactly where he said he would meet us. Simon gave us interesting background information but also let us relax on the drive to/from Civitavecchia.

Toured all the main sites in Rome from the comfort of a spacious mini van. Temperatures were 40+ so the aircon was appreciated. Great guide with lots of information.

Definitely worth it… especially because it was so hot! Our guide, Alessandro, was wonderful. He even recommended a pizza place for us.

Our captain, Claudio, is a native to the island and a pro on deck. Watched our headcount of 5 and another couple the entire time to ensure our safety and satisfaction. We didn’t use the facilities or the cabin so can’t speak for them, but boat deck was tidy and appointed. Will consider again if we ever return. Thank you!

We booked 3 different independent shore excursion private tours in 3 ports. This one ended up being our favorite. We ended up with a tour guide (Kate) and a driver when we were expecting only a driver. After discussing with us what our priorities were, they were able to prepare an awesome itinerary that required minimal walking in the super hot weather, while allowing us to see many sites. It seems they may outsource to other vendors, so it's probably by luck who we got.

​Our driver and guide, Emanuele, was exceptionally attentive and accommodating. Long before we arrived at Rome’s iconic landmarks, he set the mood with an incredible playlist that matched the grandeur of the city. He enriched our tour with fascinating cultural insights, took us to the best panoramic viewpoints, and so much more. ​Traveling with my mom in a wheelchair can be challenging, but Emanuele went above and beyond—frequently lending a helping hand and guiding us through accessible routes. In just 5 hours, we saw the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Gianicolo Hill view, ending with a relaxing lunch in Campo de' Fiori. ​A fun fact we learned from him: ROMA spelled backward is AMOR (“love” in Italian)—and we certainly fell in love with Rome thanks to him!

Great personalized experience! Emanuele was wonderful! I highly recommend this experience to small groups that want a more intimate, informative, and in-depth experience.

The private tour is the best way to go when traveling with a group. We were able to adjust our agenda based on the needs of our group. Our driver Rosario was very knowledgeable and shared hidden gems in Rome.

We booked this tour as it sounded perfect to see all the main highlights of Rome in one day during our cruise ship stop. Emanuele our tour guide did not disappoint and went above and beyond to make our day incredible. Started near the Vatican and went in coffee shop to get some good coffee and pastries. Delish! He was able to park the van very close to each of the stops to see Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Vatican City and a few others big stops. He had multiple "secret" stops that gave us unreal aerial views of the ruins and the city of Rome. Navigated the city like a superstar. He brought us to the cutest most delicious little restaurant where we received exceptional service. Visited the market to get a few things to bring back.. he even bought each of us a little souvenir to remember our day. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Rome, has a highlights book that shows you before and current photos of each of the famous landmarks. He offered to take our pictures as a family at all stops. Had us promptly and safely back to port on time. I can't say enough about our day! So many memories made. It was my families' favorite tour. Don't hesitate, book this!

Perfect way to spend the day in Rome, we had a fantastic driver who took us to all the places we wanted to go, tailored our day to make the most of our time there. Picked us up from the dockside by our ship in a fabulous clean air condition people carrier. Plenty of room for us all. Our chauffer gave us some great recommendations. Our visit was on a sunday and included seeing the spanish steps, the vatician to see the pope give his address, trevi fountain and have lunch right by the fountain, the collesium. This really was the best way to see Rome and would do it again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our driver/guide, Emanuelle, was so friendly and knowledgeable! He shared some fascinating facts that really caught our attention. Plus, he found a parking spot close to the site, so we didn’t have to travel too far to each location. This tour was even better than we imagined, and we’ll definitely remember it.

We spent a day in Rome before our cruise. This tour was a great way to see the highlights of the city when you have limited time. Our tour guide, Tiziana, and driver, Alberto, were the best. They went way above and beyond to make our day enjoyable. Our family has several food allergies and they found a place where we could all eat safely. Great day!! Well worth the money!!

Great way to travel through Rome if you are only there for one day. Alessandro was kind and courteous and was willing to make changes to make our itinerary suited to our needs.

The tour guide was great. Trying to see Rome in a day is extremely difficult and everything is crowded. My suggestion would be to pick a couple of stops and stick to that.

Our driver was very nice and knew his way around the city to point out the main sites, but he didn’t speak English very well, only a few phrases/words, and the tour description said the guide would speak English. So it basically ended up being more of a taxi ride since there was a communication barrier. It was disappointing bc had he been able to speak English I’m sure we would have heard some interesting facts, history and maybe current events about Rome. We only had one day to see Rome bc we were on a cruise so this was why we picked a private guided tour, hoping to get more out of a tour like this, not less. I recommend you verify with your provider that they can speak fluent English if you want to book this experience.

We had the best day touring Rome with Titziana (apologies if misspelled.) She was so sweet, knowledgeable, and you could tell she genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. She was an absolute professional getting us to places we wanted to see, helping us skip lines so that we didn't miss our Colosseum time, and keeping us one schedule. The driver was great, too! He knew exactly where to park and how to get us as close as possible to the places we wanted to go. I would 100% recommend this tour! It is a great way to get the most "bang for your buck" with only one day to explore. Our group of 10 people had zero complaints!

We booked two back to back 7 day cruises and hoped to use the day in port to check out Rome. We booked this tour hoping to see a couple of the main sights/sites in the city. Giorgio was outstanding as a driver and guide. He was waiting for us with a sign when we exited the ship a few minutes early and whisked us off to Rome. He explained the day of our tour there was to be a large military parade in Rome which would impact some main streets in the city and effectively close the Colosseum after 10AM so he suggested we start there before 10. We visited the outside and took some pictures but due to time constraints we passed on taking a full tour in favor of allowing Giorgio to show us more of the city. He had expert knowledge of the city and was able to use backstreets etc. to avoid traffic snarls. He showed us to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Square and Vatican City before driving us to the top of a hill in central Rome overlooking the city. There was also a beautiful 500 year old fountain dedicated to Pope Paul V there that was worth a picture. My wife mentioned being disappointed there was no outlet mall for here to go shopping in Rome but Giorgio volunteered to drive us about 25Km south of the city to the largest outlet mall In Italy where my wife was happy to spend a couple of hours shopping while I sampled a couple of locally produced beers. Giorgio patiently waited for us and drove us back to the port/ship with over an hour to spare ahead of our “all aboard” time. We crammed more into a single day of sightseeing/shopping than what most could accomplish is 2-3 days. Overall, a great way to spend a day getting acquainted with Rome.

Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Only downside was I coordinated with the tour company 6 weeks prior to tour to see something outside of the normal tour and my wife mentioned it to the driver early on, but due to language barrier and lack of communication from the company to the driver it didn’t happen.

I booked this tour for 11 people on a recent trip. It was hands down the best tour I booked during our entire cruise. Our guide, Tiziana, ensured everything was seamless from meeting us at the port and continuing with the tour in Rome. The temperature in Rome was very hot and it was so convenient to have a private air conditioned van. Tiziana was incredible. She and Alberto (driver) were receptive to changes and updating our tour as needed to accommodate extra time spent at specific stops. She also recommended a restaurant for us to celebrate a milestone birthday and arranged for reservations. My family was absolutely thrilled with this experience and I would happily book this tour again (with a request for the same tour guide!)

Great tour, I wish we didn’t do the Vatican as it was a lot of walking and a ton of people and just too crowded to be fun. We even had a guided tour and the skip the line. The tour and driver was great, we loved the coliseum and Rome.

Our driver Francesco picked us up on time from our cruise ship. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 children and were given a comfortable drive into and around the Vatican and Rome. We could choose how long to spend at each location and Francesco would always be waiting in the designated spot. He was knowledgeable about the buildings and history of Rome . Would recommend this private tour.

George did a wonderful job of navigating us through town and showing us the highlights and monuments. He navigated the streets safely and like a pro. We had a wonderful time and still got to personalize the experience. Highly recommend!

It’s true what they say - Rome wasn’t built in a day. But when you have Emanuel as your driver/guide through the city, we were able to see all what we wanted too!

Rome in a day?? YES!!! Emmanuel was absolutely fabulous, I would highly recommend him. My wife and I only had 1 day in Rome after our cruise and wanted to see the big monuments. We saw all the big ones! Was some of the best money I spent on this vacation!!

Francesco is the best! He was so knowledgeable and kind. His English is exceptional. He is so conscientious of your family and when you need a rest or when he can squeeze extra things in. We have a 4 and 6yo and this was the 7th day of our trip. So they were pretty fatigued. Francesco was great about hitting everything on our list and still reserving rest. He would drive past things on the way to others when we thought we would have to skip bc the kids were beat. He parked super close and then would walk us to the spot so there was zero guessing. I can’t speak highly enough. I’ve already referred him to another family.

Emmanuel was exceptional. He navigated the crowds and enabled us to see all of the major sights of Rome. He was informative, organized, personable, and planned our day based on our interests. Highly recommend!

Emanuel was our tour guide and was amazing. So knowledgeable and efficient with getting us around Rome. We could have never seen everything if it weren’t for him!!!

Emmanuel gave us an amazing one-day tour of Rome, which was especially important since we were only there for a day while traveling on a cruise. He made sure to drop us off right at each of the main tourist attractions, allowing us to make the most of our limited time without any stress. Throughout the day, he explained the history and significance of each place clearly and in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. What really stood out was how kind and attentive he was. He took the time to connect with my 85-year-old dad, engaging him in thoughtful and interesting conversations that made the experience even more special for our family. Emmanuel was not only knowledgeable, but also warm, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rome.

Marvelous day with our guide who was supposed to be a driver to get us to several activities in the limited time off the cruise ship and instead shared his life as a Roman citizen as we visited multiple locations and dined in a very limited window. We highly recommend this approach to seeing Rome on a port day.

Truly seeing all that Rome has to offer would take days, if not weeks. But, if you want a good, clean, safe, and efficient way to see the highlights in a day coming from the cruise port in Civitavecchia, this is the way to go. A private car took us into the city and showed the sights with nearby parking. We pre-arranged a timed entry to see inside of the Colosseum and had a great experience there. We also got to see the Forum from several angles even though we did not go inside. We saw a bit of everything including St. Peter’s Square and the Trevi Fountain. One highlight might have been the beautiful Christ the Redeemer statue by Michelangelo in the Church of Santa Maria Soprano Minerva. The only negative was that they tried to steer us to a more tourist lunch but we begged off and enjoyed slow food at a Michelin recognized spot near the flower market.

It was easy to do this tour in a short period of time in Civitavecchia Port during winter we were here only from 8am until 5pm. It was challenging to do everything but Emmanuel Fustaino could drive through the every highlights in Rome. He gave us plenty of time to go and take pictures. Also, he helped us to get some family pictures! Thank you!

Emanuel was wonderful, on time at the port, much info to share and had our specific schedule all ready for us. It was a memorable day!

Carlo was very attentive, prompt and covered all of the sights we wanted to see. The communication prior to our arrival was very prompt and comprehensive.

We got off our cruise ship and Emmanuel was there at 7:45 when we got off the cruise ship and all 4 of us hit the ground running. He had a nice big van so me and my husbands and my grown children were comfortable! Emmanuel was excellent and knows where he is going and extremely knowledgable! He knows all the secret panoramic picture sites that are incredible. We had pouring rain the entire day, but he made it fun and had great suggestions. We discovered you can’t see the Colluseum and the Vatican on tours in one day and make it back to the ship.. Just a tip. We wanted too but it was pushing it. The colosseum was amazing! Thanks Emmanuel for being friendly, knowagable and kind!

Marco met us at the ship and took as to more historic sites than we imagined possible. He parked strategically for scenic photos and to get us close to entrances which was especially helpful for my husband who cannot walk long distances. He was quick to adapt to our preferences and recommended whether to explore the outside or the inside of site based on ticket cost and crowds. Marco shared about Rome past and present and willingly answered our questions, always with a smile. We did all this in the rain and he opened the car door with umbrella in hand. It was an excellent day and Marco is a fantastic driver and guide.

Used Royal Blu Travel for our day trip to Rome. Our driver Francesco arrived early and was ready. Easy to communicate with. Got us back to the ship on time despite our little change in itenary.

Emmanuelle was a great tour guide. We got to see every site we wanted to see on that day. Door to door service. He was very knowledgeable and professional

Emanuel gave us a great tour of Rome. We saw all the sights in 1 day. We were able to get very close to all the sights in his van. It was a very organized tour that I highly recommended.

This was the best trip I could have ever booked for us to see Rome. Andrea the most wonderful driver, filled us in on all the history about what we were going to see next. Pulled us up right in front of the landmarks, we saw 10 times more than those who were on big busses. Roma was a beautiful city with crazy traffic and Andrea took excellent care of us all day and made it back to the ship in plenty of time. Thank you again!
