What To Expect
Colosseum
Your fabulous Charming VIP Ancient Rome Shore excursion will begin as your English Speaking Driver picks you up you up from your cruise at the Civitavecchia Port and chauffeurs you to Rome city Center. In an elegant and comfortable Mercedes Benz Vehicle you will be chauffeured to the first stop of your tour: Colosseum and Roman Forum! Admire the glorious Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the capital's most remarkable monuments. During the Roman Empire the Roman Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years.
Circo Massimo
Move on with the tour and reach Circus Maximus, the largest stadium in Ancient Rome, built for chariot races. Imagine to be taking part of one of the Circus Maximus chariot races competitions in which participants tried to complete seven laps of the Circus Maximus. The competitors, mounted in small chariots drawn by horses, gambled much more than their prestige or large prizes in the races, since many of them were slaves fighting for their liberty.

Fantastic driver for the day!

5.00Alex Paolini was our driver who picked us up on time from our ship. He was waiting with a great sign and texted us before arrival. His vehicle was clean, comfortable and his English is excellent. He shared information about our location but not too much that we were overwhelmed. We spent the day at Lake Bracciano first at a wine tasting then we wanted to go to the lake to swim and have lunch. He called and reserved our daybeds and lunch table. His communication throughout was excellent and we felt so well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend Alex Paolini any higher. What a great family day in the Roman countryside

5.00Amazing day in Rome. Make sure you book early to get your tickets for attractions. It was 100 degrees when we went and it was still wonderful experience. Stefano was an exceptional driver. Knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole trip easy.
Great evening with guide and driver, Peter!

5.00We took an evening tour around Rome with Peter. (Note that TripAdvisor required me to select a tour that did not include the nighttime tour of Rome, so this may not be a perfect match). Peter was right on time and pulled up to our hotel’s front door to pick us up. Peter was born and raised in Rome and knows all the details and the routes to get you around. We were able to see so many beautiful sites during the golden hour and after sunset. Rome is just as stunning all lit up at night as it is during the day. And thanks to Peter, we were able to get a wonderful history of what we were seeing along with those great views. Peter spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. He was very flexible in our route and what we wanted to see, based upon where we had already been during our time in Rome. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Rome after dark. I’ll also note that with the very hot days we experienced, this was a delightful way to see much of Rome in the comfort of a well-appointed and air-conditioned 6 passenger van. Peter even had cold water to keep us hydrated! Maybe our best tour overall in Rome!

5.00Alex Paolini was early to pick us up and communicated with our group well. He is an excellent driver and was very entertaining. He was considerate and made sure that our entire group was comfortable. Alex brought us to a great local restaurant too! Giordano was our guide at the Paletine Hill and the Colosseum. We had some in our group who needed to move slowly and Giordano accommodated our needs. He had wonderful stories and added some scientific information to the history lessons. Our team enjoyed his humor and wit.
