Rome Private Minivan Tour from Civitavecchia with Bacco Tours

Civitavecchia’s bustling port city serves as the gateway for travelers eager to witness the grandeur of Rome, Italy’s capital and a living museum of history and culture. Just under an hour’s drive separates this Mediterranean harbor from the heart of one of the world’s most storied cities. Bacco Tours offers a private minivan experience designed for visitors who want to maximize their time and soak up Rome’s iconic sites without the hassle of crowds or complex logistics.

This eight-hour private tour starts right at Civitavecchia port where a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan awaits. From here, a local expert guide leads the way through Rome’s urban mosaic, spotlighting timeless landmarks like the Colosseum—a massive amphitheater bearing the scars of ancient gladiatorial contests—as well as St. Peter’s Square, the vast plaza at the Vatican, the world's smallest independent state and spiritual center for millions.

Aside from these headline sites, the tour includes curated stops at the Trevi Fountain, where you can toss a coin to promise your return, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon’s monumental dome, and the elegant Piazza Navona. Each site offers a window into Rome’s layered past—from Roman Empire power plays to Baroque artistry sprucing the city’s streets.
