Description
Enjoy timed-entry at the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a private expert guide, then transfer to Trastevere for a Roman lunch and gelato before your return ride to Civitavecchia Port.
This private shore excursion gives cruise passengers the best of Rome in a single, well-organized day, combining timed-entry access to the Colosseum and Roman Forum with an authentic Roman lunch in the medieval streets of Trastevere. With an expert English-speaking guide and exclusive round-trip transfers from Civitavecchia Port, every detail is taken care of before you step off the ship.
Your day begins at Civitavecchia Port, where your private vehicle picks you up for a comfortable transfer to Rome. Your expert guide meets you at the Colosseum, ready to bring two thousand years of history to life before the crowds arrive.
Step inside one of the most famous structures in the ancient world as you breeze past the lines with dedicated timed-entry tickets. Your guide leads you through the first and second tiers, once reserved for Rome's elite, with stories of gladiatorial combat, imperial spectacle, and the engineering that made it all possible.
Next, walk the paving stones of the Roman Forum, the political and social heart of ancient Rome. Your guide brings the ruins into focus at landmarks like the Arch of Titus and the Temple of Julius Caesar, explaining what life looked like at the center of the most powerful empire the world had ever seen.
Your private vehicle then transfers you to Trastevere, one of Rome's most atmospheric medieval neighborhoods. Sit down for an authentic Roman lunch, then cool off with a dedicated gelato stop before a short walk through the cobblestone streets.
Your guide leads you to the Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of Rome's oldest and most celebrated churches, before wrapping up with free time to explore the piazza.
When the day is done, your private vehicle returns you to Civitavecchia Port with plenty of time before your ship sets sail.
