What to expect
You'll be collected at the cruise terminal at 8am and driven directly towards Rome in a comfortable Mercedes. Your driver acts as guide, explaining what you're seeing en route and at each stop. Rather than a rigid checklist, you decide which landmarks matter most—the Colosseum, Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain—and pace your day accordingly. The driver's knowledge shapes the experience; expect anecdotes about Roman history and practical tips on where to linger. You'll have time for lunch on your own (budget accordingly) and moments to wander or snap photos at chosen locations. By 5pm you're back at the dock.
Good to know
