Shore excursion from Civitavecchia with vatican guide and tickets

Pick up at the pier at 8:00 AM will be right in front of the Boat exit door.
 There will be your driver with your last name printed on a paper-sheet sign. You’ll drive in a smooth motorway through the country and see the Etruscan Landscapes with my Luxury Mercedes Mini Van. It will take approx. 80 minutes to get to Rome. The drive will continue along Ostiense Road and arrive at the Pyramid built for Caius Cestio.

At this stage of the tour we will be inside the ancient Roman Wall built by Emperor Aureliano (270 AD). This area inside is considered Downtown Rome. We will then arrive at the Circus Maximus, the large ancient stadium for chariot races. Behind the stadium you will see the Palatine Hill where the villas and the domus of the emperors were built. At this point you will be able to see the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum.

We will stop here, and you will be able to visit the Coliseum and the Roman Forum on your own. Our knowledgeable driver will give you all the possible informations about the area you are going to visit. In order to avoid lengthy and time-consuming queues, I will obtain the entry fees in advance as a service for my clients. Reservation included. The driver will give you the tickets on the day of the shore excursion.

Following the Coliseum, we will stop at the top of the Capitol Hill for a great view of the Roman Forum, then just drive to Piazza Venezia where you will see the Vittorio Emanuele Monument, dedicated to the first king of Italy, ( the wedding-cake of Rome ). In 2 minutes we will be at the Pantheon, the most untouched monument you can see today after more than 2000 years still standing!!! The Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps will be the next stop, and please, let me tell you that the most famous Steps in the World are not Spanish but built by an idea of the French Cardinal Polignac and the Italian Engineer De Sanctis!

After a light lunch including pasta or pizza in a very nice typical Roman Trattoria (pizza, pasta, gelato …), you’ll be ready to visit the Vatican Museums with your private tour guide, where you will admire the vast collection of masterpieces, rooms, where the popes lived, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica and more. It will take two/three hours to visit the Museum, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica.

Around 4:00 PM we’ll be ready to go back to the Port, exhausted but happy.
