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 05:00 pm.
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).
This rome tour allow you to see all the important monuments in Rome and discovering all the places. From Civitavecchia in one day you will be able to see:
- Palatine Hill with its Ancient Palaces
- Circus Maximus and Colosseum
- Spanish Steps (Trinità dei Monti)

I just wanted you to know that we had a great time during our tour and that Maurisio was a great guide! All you represented it to be was there and we were very glad there were no surprises in the timing or the cost of the tour. As you may know, sometimes one runs into those who say one thing and do another. We have some of your cards that Maurisio provided and we intend to recommend your company to our travel agent.
Again, thanks for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi, I am brand new to this site but wanted to talk about a tour company in Italy that we used on our recent cruise on NCL’s Gem. The company is called Across Rome and the service that they provide is nothing short of amazing. My wife contacted them via email through their web site acrossrome.com and was answered immediately. Through them she arranged for a tour of Rome which included the coliseum, vatican and many many other notable landmarks in Rome. We were met at the pier by Alberto who speaks excellent english with a very cool italian accent of course. Alberto drove us to Rome all the while explaining everything along the way. Once in the city, he took us to not only the major sites but some extremely interesting places not generally on the tourist guides. Did you know that there is a pyramid in Rome? Me neither. We were taken to lunch at an authentic Italian restaraunt and had a wonderful meal. We saw so much more than we expected and were given so much history of Rome that we just never knew. Needless to say we were wowed! We took our 16 year old nephew on this trip for his birthday and to tell you what fine people these folks are, they also gave him a wrapped birthday present. I just cant say enough good things about this company and Alberto. Not only did we save a HUGE amount of money over the shipboard excursions but we had a much better tour than anyone we talked to on the ship. Use these folks you wont be sorry.

What is the cost of a shore excursion from civitavecchia port on the 14th December, 2010?
Hello,
Please quote me a price for a tour of Rome for our group of 8 from the port of Civitavecchia on July 12, 2010 at 8:00 a.m. to the Roman Ruins, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and a guided tour without waiting in lines to St. Peter’s, Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum
Thank you,
My husband, daughter and I are interested in your day tour from the port to Rome. We are arriving on the Norwegian Jade on October 6, 2010. I wonder if you ever combine with other couples and we could share the costs?
Thank you for your reply.
Regards,
Karol

Hi Allessandro.
That’s us back in the UK after a fantastic med holiday. Thank you so much for organising our trips to Florence/Pisa, Rome and Pompeii/Herculaneum/Positano. Our driver/guides: Santi, Alberto and Adriano were all waiting at the ports for us as arranged and did a great job of chauffeuring us around the cities and making sure we saw all the sites. All 3 are really nice guys and excellent freestylers – driving in Italy is a bit different to the UK and needs imagination! Santi dropped us off in Florence where we met our guide Samantha who walked us around the centre of Florence showing us all the main sites. He then took us to Pisa to visit the tower. Alberto had to cope with a demonstration in Rome which disrupted the traffic, but he still got us round everything, making sure that we got into the sites quickly and made sure that we managed to squeeze in a delicious lunch of spaghetti and clams prior to meeting our Vatican guide Marco. Marco was brilliant and made sure that we saw as much as possible in the time we had. After our Vatican tour Alberto finished off our Rome tour and surprised us by giving us 2 books on Rome. Adriano took us to Pompeii and Herculaneum where his wife Roberta guided us around the ruins. Roberta made sure that we saw as much of each site as possible. Adriano and Roberta are quite a double act! In between the visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum Adriano drove us along the beautiful Amalfi coast where we stopped at Positano for a delicious lunch with an amazing view over the bay. Finding AcrossRome on the web was a real piece of luck. Our holiday was a cruise on the Norwegian Jade which we had booked for our 25th anniversary with our 2 teenage sons and we wanted to get as much out of our 3 days in Italy as possible. We looked at similar trips that could be booked through the ship but opted for AcrossRome as your trips were cheaper and seemed to provide more. We definitely made the right choice and would recommend your company to any other travellers looking for a professional, friendly and knowledgeable service to help them get the most out of their holiday. We can’t wait to visit Italy again!
Kind regards.
