“Our driver was Paulo. Fantastic guide and driver. Took us to all the site with minimum walking. We got hungry he knew of a small restaurant that had fantastic food. Then when we were running late to get back to the cruise ship he drove in and out of traffic. Got us back to cruise ship at 7:28. I had to be back at 7:30! Great value”

Review of a private Rome shore excursion from Civitavecchia, with port pickup, major sights, flexible timing, and optional attraction tickets.

“Marco met us at the ship and took as to more historic sites than we imagined possible. He parked strategically for scenic photos and to get us close to entrances which was especially helpful for my husband who cannot walk long distances. He was quick to adapt to our preferences and recommended whether to explore the outside or the inside of site based on ticket cost and crowds. Marco shared about Rome past and present and willingly answered our questions, always with a smile. We did all this in the rain and he opened the car door with umbrella in hand. It was an excellent day and Marco is a…”

They took us to a lovely historic restaurant with amazing food. Their love of Florence was evident and infectious. With two elderly family members and limited time due to cruise, we couldn’t have seen Florence and Pisa without their excellent service. We will be back!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $417

A practical review of Rome’s private port tour, with transport, sights, guides, costs, ticket advice, and tips for cruise passengers.

“When you book excursions like this one, you are really depending on a company to accurately pick you up from a ship at an exact time and get you back on time. Sadly, that was NOT our experience. After correctly filling out all of our information and even confirming with them the day before, we got off of our ship in Rome to no driver. We had also booked photos in Rome with a photographer so we all stood there in our nice clothes on the doc in a panic over where our driver could be. After wandering around I FINALLY got a bar of cell service enough to call…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 82 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $481

Review of a private Cinque Terre and Pisa shore excursion from Livorno, with ferry rides, flexible guides, port pickup, costs, and practical tips.

“We loved Porto Venere! We loved the boat ride past the five villages of Cinque Terre. Visiting the last two villages was nice; however, we felt like we were visiting all of our tour guide’s favorite places and had few options of our own. She also didn’t seem to want to go to Pisa. We did go and she and our driver were so kind to drive us to a special church our friend had wanted to photograph. All this being said, we very much enjoyed the day. We wish it had been less expensive! 😃”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 79 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Review of a private Rome shore tour from Civitavecchia, covering the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and more in eight hours.

“Can not say enough good things about our experience with our Viator tour of Rome. We were picked up at the cruise port by Stefano Zanetti in a very nice Mercedes. During the tour, Stefano took us places where an NCL shore excursion bus could never go. Upon request, he briefly detoured off the main highway to show us the remanence of the Roman aqueduct. Stefano knew all the side streets, back alleys and places to park so our walk to the different attractions was always a short one versus having to walk blocks with 50+ people from a tour bus. He was VERY knowledgeable of Rome and its history,…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 76 reviews · 9 hours (approx.)

Review of a private Cinque Terre shore tour from Livorno, with flexible village visits, local drivers, ferry options, and practical cruise-day advice.

“Met our tour guide/driver in Livorno dockside exactly on time. Heavy rains were expected that day in Cinque Terra, so our guide suggested stopping first in Porto Venere (just south of La Spezia) and then depending on the weather, on to the other villages. All the walking paths between villages were shut down due to the deteriorating weather conditions. Guide provided history of the various towns/villages between Livorno and La Spezia. First stop: Porto Venera. No rain, but windy and very cloudy. Nice little village to walk around and take pictures. Second stop: Manarola. Steep roads/paths down to the village. Then the rains and fog came. Guide decided to drive…”
