For all of you that
are taking a cruise and would like to visit or have a Rome tour, the normal
departing time from the port of Civitavecchia is 8:00 am. Here one
of our drivers will meet you with a named sign as you disembark. We
will return back for approximately 16:30pm.
This
Rome
tour will give you a good overview of the principal monuments. We
will enter into the ancient city through the Porta San
Paolo gate, which is one of the principal gates of the
Roman Aurelian Walls. From here we will pass the Circus Maximus and see a spectacular view of the Palatine Hill with its Ancient Palaces. This Hill
is one of the most important hills because 2700 years ago it led to
Rome’s foundation with its first king Romulus. Here we will precede
to the celebrated Piazza Venezia, situated at the
base of the Capitoline Hill which meets one of the
most important streets of the center of the capital, the Via
Fori Imperiali. Following this road, you will be able to
admire The Coliseum, originally known as the
Flavian Ampitheater, which is probably the most famous one in the
world. It had a capacity to sit about 50,000 spectators that would
marvel at the gladiator competitions (the entrance to the Coliseum
is 11 euro, if you would like to go and avoid the lines please let
us know in advance and we will purchase the tickets for you).
The next stop will be the Spanish Steps so you can
regard the amazing staircase that consists of 135 steps that was
built to connect the Spanish Embassy (where the square takes its
name from) to the Church of the SS. Trinita’dei Monti. At the
magical Trevi Fountain good luck is to be acquired
by throwing in a coin to this enormous and most noted fountain from
the 17th century.
After a break for lunch
the tour will carry on to the ultra famous Vatican Museums
that contains the most numerous collection of art in the world
including the rooms painted entirely by Raphael and the
Sistine Chapel. Continuing into St. Peter’s
Basilica, the largest Catholic Church ever built. This is
also the heart of the Catholic Church and Home to the Pope himself.
( the entrance fee into the Museums/Sistine Chapel is 14 euro per person, and if you would like a guided tour through we can book a
guide for you for 120 euro extra a group for 2 hours). And finally
for the return trip (3:30pm) time permitting, we will take you to
the Ancient Roman Temple of Phanteon, which was
dedicated to the 7 planetary gods (Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter,
Mercury, Mars).
