Civitavecchia Cruise Port Shore Excursion: Fullday Rome Including Skip-The-Line Vatican Museums and Colosseum

We took the "Civitavecchia Cruise Port Shore Excursion with Full Day Rome with "Skip-the Line" Vatican Museums (including the Sistine Chapel) & Colosseum" tour offered by Viator with "Italy Best Excursions" providing our driver, Govani and our personal Rome guide, Francesco. We had only one day in Rome and knew it more than likely be our one shot deal to visit Rome. In the days time we had we were able to see and do everything on our list and much more. Although our ship offered extra tours to individual locations in Rome, we wanted to do much more....and we did! Many thanks to our driver, Govani, and expert/knowledgable Rome Guide, Francesco, for making our visit to Rome so enjoyable with memories to last a lifetime.

Tour was excellent. Perhaps not for everyone, but a convenient way to see the major sites with a limited amount of time. Our driver Valentino was superb - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. His recommendation for lunch, delicious and perfect. Ask for him if possible.

This tour was Awesome. Our driver Giovanni was excellent. If you want to see Rome in a day this is the way to do it. We saw everything we wanted to see and Giovanni was so knowledgeable abut everything. We learned so much about Rome and have beautiful pictures and memories. If I could give it a 10 I would. Do not hesitate to book this tour.

What a way to see Rome! Our driver had only the 4 of us and made sure we got to see everything there was to see in Rome! Plus hooked us up for a fantastic local lunch!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating for the things we wanted to see. However, our big complaint is that he took us to the Colosseum one and a half hours before our scheduled time and they would not honor our

Paolo knew all the ins and out to wisk us from our cruise ship to more sights in Rome than I can count. What a great experience.

We had such a great day visiting all the locations described in our tour. Our driver was a great guy who was very knowledgeable. He even made lunch reservations at a delightful Italian Restaurant. We ended our tour by meeting our private tour guide at the Vatacian. This is the only way to see the Vatacian and learn so much about it.

My family and I had a great time in this tour. I would recommend to get a tour guide specially in the Vatican museums.

We ended with a nice day in Rome. Mauro our drive we excellent. Very knowledgeable and knows Rome like his background. He weaved around the narrow streets and getting to places in great time. Lunch, next to the UN building, was good and reasonably priced. The disappointment was we didn’t get to go into the St. Peter Basilica. It was a Wednesday, a day when the Pope was doing his weekly blessing over the St Peter Square. So the Basilica was closed in the morning. When we booked the excursion, Viator should have mentioned it. Furthermore, the big screw up was that they cancelled our earlier reversation when we only asked for a change in our plans. Luckily we were still able to get this excursion and see most of the highlights. You might get a better price from others, but not with a private van as we did. Note that buses are not allow in the historical areas of Rome (ie: ship excursions are with Buses). This mean that the bus will drop you off and your will walk the 6 hours to the other side of town at the end of the tour to be picked up. Viator’s Rome excusions are with private vans. Just don’t make changes and confuse the agents and you will be fine. Got back to boat on time for all 3 days excursion with Viator.
