We offer a private Mercedes Minivan and an English-speaking driver who can provide transportation, but we highly recommend adding a private guide for a more memorable experience. A private guide is available for the 3-hour tour of Vatican City or for the 6-hour Best of Rome experience. Your driver will be waiting for you at the ship as you disembark, holding a sign with your name on it.

From the moment you step off your ship, everything is taken care of. No stress, no waiting — just a seamless beginning to one of the most unforgettable days of your journey.

Rome is not simply a city you visit — it’s a place you feel. And today, it’s entirely yours.

Your experience begins in Ancient Rome, where history lives all around you. Drive along the legendary Via dei Fori Imperiali as the ruins of the Roman Forum unfold beside you — once the beating heart of an empire that shaped the world. Then, suddenly, it appears: the Colosseum. Timeless, powerful, and iconic. Standing before it, you don’t just see it — you feel its presence.

Continue past the Circus Maximus, where ancient chariot races once captivated thousands, while your driver reveals how layers of history emerge throughout the city, often hidden in plain sight beneath modern Rome.

The journey then flows into the elegance of Baroque Rome. Walk through some of the most beautiful and iconic squares in the world. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, climb the Spanish Steps, step inside the Pantheon, and admire the lively atmosphere of Piazza Navona. Here, Rome invites you to slow down — to explore, to wander, and to enjoy a relaxed lunch at your own pace.

In the afternoon, your experience continues into Vatican City — a place of extraordinary art, history, and spiritual significance.

Inside the Vatican Museums, you will be surrounded by one of the greatest art collections ever assembled, leading you to the Sistine Chapel. As you look up, Michelangelo’s masterpiece reveals itself in a moment that stays with you long after you leave.

Your visit continues inside St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world — breathtaking in scale, rich in detail, and deeply moving.

At the end of your experience, return to your private vehicle and relax as your driver takes you comfortably back to your ship, ensuring a smooth, timely, and worry-free return.

This is not just a tour of Rome.
This is your day in Rome — designed around you, remembered for a lifetime.
