About this experience
We have designed this tour for those of you who need to get to your hotel in Rome from the ship, but also want to enjoy the Eternal City. Based on our experience you can enjoy about 8 hours exploring before drop off at your hotel in the city.
Upon disembarking you'll find your driver just off the gangway of your ship, holding a sign with your name on. You'll drive to Rome, where you will start at the most ancient part of Rome, which includes the Roman Forum and the Colosseum (tickets not included). Moving on, you'll pass by the Victor Emanuel Monument to reach the Pantheon, where you can enter this glorious site. You'll continue with Navona Square, the perfect place to enjoy a gelato or a light lunch. Then, toss your coin in the Trevi Fountain for good luck, before heading to one of the greatest museums in the world: the Vatican Museums. You'll see countless works of art, marvel at the Sistine Chapels ceiling and enter Saint Peter's, before heading to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Itinerary and highlights
Drive by the famous wedding cake, the monument dedicated to the first king of unified Italy: Victor Emanuel II, a splendid neoclassical white marble interpretation of the nearby Roman Forum.
Baroque Rome at its best is what you'll experience in this exquisite square! Enjoy a nice cappuccino sitting at one of the square's cafès or get yourself a great gelato to savor as you stroll around.
Take in the beauty of the theme of "taming of the waters" the fountain presents, as you get closer to toss a coin in for good luck and a safe return to Rome. Why not take a selfie as you do that?!
