Private Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Rome Port to Rome and Vatican City

About this tour

A private nine-hour excursion from Civitavecchia port whisks you through Rome's greatest hits—the Pantheon, Colosseum exterior, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Palatine Hill—before diving into Vatican City with skip-the-line museum access and a guide shepherding you through the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. Your English-speaking driver handles transport; an official Vatican guide leads you through the galleries. Port pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect

You'll be collected at the pier and driven straight into Rome's historic centre. The first half covers Rome's landmark exteriors and piazzas—you'll see the Colosseum from outside, toss a coin at Trevi, wander Spanish Steps. After lunch (on your dime), your guide meets you at the Vatican Museums entrance where your pre-booked tickets skip the queues. Expect crowds inside, but the guide navigates you efficiently through galleries, past Renaissance masterworks, into the Sistine Chapel, then across to St Peter's. It's walking-heavy; comfortable shoes mandatory.
