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 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.

“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.
