Great way to see Rome before your cruise!
A great experience seeing Rome. Our driver/guide was amazing! We told him the places we had already visited so he rearranged the tour to visit sites we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. I would highly recommend this tour for a quick tour of Rome on your way to Covitavecchia!

Our driver Maurizio was excellent. He picked us up at our hotel on time and allowed us to decide what sights to visit in Rome. Excellent driver and informative. Since we were only in Rome for a short time Maurizio made sure we were able to experience as much as possible. He delivered us to the port safely and on time. Would highly recommend this tour and will be using again the next time we are in Rome.
