Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour

You will be collected from the cruise terminal at 7.30 am for the journey to the Colossuem where you will be met by your tour guide.  Your driver will then leave you in the capable hands of the local, expert guide and be there to collect you at the end of the tour for the journey back to your cruise ship.

 The tour starts with a visit to the interior of the Colosseum, also known as the “Antiteatro Flavio”.  This is one of the most magnificent amphitheatres in the world and was the scene of naval battles, gladiator games and wild animal hunts.

 At the end of the visit you will go back outside the Colosseum to see the Arch of Constantine and the Roman Forum.  The Forum was at the very heart of ancient Rome and the centre of all activity, social, religious and cultural.  Now a vast archeological site there is so much to see: the Arch of Titus; the House of the Vestal Virgins; the Temple of Saturn; the Senate House and the Arch of Septimus Severus to name a few. 

A short walk from the Forum towards the Capitoline Hill brings you to The Vittoriano, also known as Altare della Patria, a gleaming, white, modern-day monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele.

 Next is a visit to one of the most well-known fountains in the world, the Trevi Fountain; made famous by Fellini’s movie “La Dolce Vita” it has become an everlasting symbol of Rome.  Follow tradition and throw a coin in the fountain and make a wish that you will one day return to Rome!

 There is then time for a lunch break.  There are many places to eat whether you want a snack or a 3-course meal.  The choice is yours.

 After lunch it is time to visit the Government District with its many imposing buildings; the Parliament Building, The Palace of the Council of Ministers and the Column of Marcus Aurelius.  Then on to the Temple of Hadrian; construction was started in the time of Adriano but finally completed by his successor the Emperor Antonius Pius.

 A leisurely stroll through the ancient back streets of Rome brings you to one of Rome’s most elegant squares, Piazza Navona.  Surrounded by bars and restaurants the place is alive with activity and at the very centre is the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers which when it was constructed represented the rivers of the four continents; the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata.

 Finally you take a taxi ride(including in the price) across the Tiber for the visit to the Vatican.  Here you will visit the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope’s Apartments and of course the Sistine Chapel where you can see Michelangelo’s wonderful ceiling as well as frescoes by other Renaissance artists.

 This is the perfect end to a day discovering the delights of Rome.  You will return to your cruise ship with wonderful memories of your journey back in time to Ancient Rome!
