Description
The Highlights of Rome on this excursion from Civitavecchia Port!
Your English tour driver will welcome you at your dock in Civitavecchia Port. As you get closer to the City, he will give you all the interesting information on the City while you’ll notice the presence of more and more historical sites as the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, the Circus Maximus, and the Palatine Hill.
Once in Rome you’ll explore sites such as the Colosseum, the Capitoline Hill, the Amazing Pantheon and of course, the Trevi Fountain. Toss a coin over your shoulder and into the fountain. Make a wish for good luck!
For lunch, why not stop in a local place in one of the best quaint, romantic neighborhoods there are like Trastevere, or Campo de Fiori.
Last but not least, you’ll visit Saint Peter’s Basilica! One of the Holiest places on Earth! Admire its High Renaissance and baroque architecture. With its greatness of art and golden details, marble and mosaics, the atmosphere is overwhelming. Be sure not to miss Michelangelo’s Pieta, completed when the master was only in his 20s.
Please note, this is a 7-hour sightseeing excursion that does not include entrance tickets to the sites, you will enjoy visiting the sites externally. That are just as amazing. You are in for a real Roman Experience!
After the tour, your tour driver will escort you back to your cruise ship.
