Itinerary
Your driver will pick you up at your ship's dock and bring you to the meeting with your guide in Rome. Your tour might start with the Colosseum or another site, according to tickets’ availability. The Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre, is the largest ancient amphitheater and a symbol of Imperial Rome. Built between 70 and 80 AD, it hosted gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and executions, accommodating 50,000 to 80,000 spectators based on social rank. Made of travertine limestone, this four-story elliptical structure features a complex system of vaults and arches. Timing includes port transfer.
For over a millennium the Roman Forum was the social heart of ancient Rome, serving as the city's central hub for politics, commerce, justice, and religion. You will envision triumphal processions, criminal trials, public speeches, and elections. Your private guide will highlight the main monuments, as well as those on the Palatine Hill, where opulent palaces were built to showcase the power and importance of the emperors.
A true masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly only a few centuries old, it's hard to believe the structure was completed in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front - a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16th-century fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk. Kindly note that the line may be too long due to the metal detector, and the visit is from outside. If the lines are reasonable. The guide will be happy to to make you buy the tickets on the spot.
No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Piazza Navona, one of the largest squares in the city. The space is incredibly popular among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube, and the Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amid the artists who arrive daily to peddle their wares.
You will head to the Spanish Steps, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. As you stand and admire the Church of Trinità dei Monti, located at the top of the famous staircase, you will see the Fontana della Barcaccia at its base. You might wonder how this impressive structure was ever completed. Timing includes time for lunch (included in the price and port transfer.
You will start a guided tour with the Trevi Fountain, a secretive masterpiece, and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome. Built at the end of one of the famed aqueducts that supplied the Roman Empire with water, this iconic setting attracts many visitors. Toss a coin into its waters to ensure a safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.

Daniel and Amira were awesome. Daniel was so knowledgeable in Roman history. Great guide... Amira was an Awesome driver who gave us history n pointed out sights during travel.
This was our first time in Rome. Our driver Ramon got us where we needed to go in a very timely manner (fast). Our tour guide, Francesca, was very informative of the culture, the Colosseum and area monuments. The lunch was authentic Italian, was very good. I would highly recommend this tour.
Both Andre and A Mira the driver were phenomenal. Andre and archeologist was perfect for our tour of Rome giving us all of the history and culture we could want. It was much more than we could have hoped for because of his experience. The meal that was provided with the tour was 4 courses and was soooo! Much food delicious traditional Italian could not have found better. Was one of the best tours we had while in Italy due to the expert guide. We truly enjoyed Rome and our experience. Will definitely return.
