Rome Full Day Tour — Civitavecchia Port

Description

A full day in Rome — the Eternal City — departing directly from Civitavecchia cruise port. Your English-speaking driver-guide meets you at the dock and takes you on a comprehensive tour of Rome's most iconic sites: the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain and more.

This is a shared guided tour — you'll travel with a small group of fellow cruise passengers, making the experience both sociable and affordable. Your driver-guide accompanies you throughout the day, sharing stories and history at each stop, and is always available for questions and recommendations.

A optional light lunch in a typical Roman trattoria is recommended mid-day — a great chance to try Roman dishes and a good local wine before continuing your exploration.

Tour highlights

• Vatican CitySt Peter's Basilica — one of the most important Christian sites in the world, built by Emperor Constantine in 324 AD. Also Castel Sant'Angelo, the magnificent Mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian.
• Piazza NavonaRome's most beautiful public square, built on the site of Domitian's stadium (89 AD). Home to Bernini's spectacular Fountain of the Four Rivers.
• The PantheonOne of the best-preserved ancient buildings in the world, originally built by Marcus Agrippa in 25 BC as a temple to the gods of Rome.
• Trevi FountainThe iconic 18th-century fountain completed in 1762 — throw your coin to ensure your return to Rome.
• Spanish StepsThe longest and widest staircase in Europe, with the Barcaccia fountain below and the Trinità dei Monti church above. A perfect spot to watch the city go by.
• Light LunchOptional stop at a typical Roman trattoria — try Roman pasta, cacio e pepe or coda alla vaccinara, with a glass of local wine.
• Piazza VeneziaThe Palazzo Venezia (1455–1464) and the spectacular Vittoriano monument — the Altar of the Fatherland.
• The ColosseumThe largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire, completed in 80 AD — one of the greatest architectural achievements in history.

• Palatine HillThe place where Rome was born — one of Rome's seven hills, closely linked with the city's founding myths.
