See Rome’s top sights from Civitavecchia by shared coach, with free time at Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, and St. Peter’s Square.

“Used this primarily as a transfer from port to rome, but was expecting to see at least one or two sights before hopping off to get to our hotel. We were happy to abandon the tour at the first stop. The whole experience was horrible from start to thankful early end. From the overcrowded bus with constantly coughing passengers who refused to wear a mask or even cover their mouths to tour guides trying to upcharge for each experience, it was a nightmare. We got off the first stop, but if we had stuck with the tour it was a 10min walk to St Peter’s Square and 20min max stay.…”
