Departing directly from the port of Civitavecchia, this tour offers a smooth and seamless journey that takes you to the city's top attractions, ensuring you return to your cruise ship with free time.

Your day begins with a comfortable coach transfer from the port of Civitavecchia to Rome, where you'll begin your exploration at the City Sightseeing Visitor Center. Here, enjoy a short break and pick up your landmarks before embarking on a walking tour through Rome's iconic sights.

Your tour leader will take you to St. Peter's Basilica, the largest of the four Papal Basilicas, where you can admire its majestic architecture and the surrounding beauty of St. Peter's Square. Continuing along Via della Conciliazione, you will arrive at Castel Sant'Angelo, an ancient fortress originally built by Emperor Hadrian.

Along the way, pass the historic Circus Maximus, once home to thrilling chariot races, before arriving at the world-famous Colosseum. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colosseum is a symbol of ancient Roman engineering and power. Built under Emperor Vespasian, it hosted gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and even naval battles. Your guide will bring the history of this incredible monument to life, giving you a deeper understanding of its significance.

Your tour concludes with a convenient drop-off back at the port of Civitavecchia, ensuring plenty of time to board your cruise ship, relaxed and enriched by a full day of exploration.
