This tour allows you to visit all of Rome main sites with a professional driver in comfortable minivans of 7 or 8 seats. Your driver will pick you up right at your ship's pier (holding a sign with your name). You will be taken as close as possible to each site of interest, reducing walking to a minimum and providing more time to truly enjoy and visit Rome.

DESCRIPTION 

NOTE: extensive walking is involved. Wear comfortable shoes. The group will need to take a free port mobility shuttle from the ship's pier to the port exit, where they will find the bus. Then, if you will book the bus instead of the vans, you will have to walk 3 kilometers more once in Rome.

Depending on traffic conditions and special events at Vatican or other locations the itinerary may need to be rearranged.

• Meet and greet at cruise ship’s pier (representative will have a sign with your name). He/She will help you take the free port mobility shuttle to reach the North Gate Port exit from your ship's pier. You will find your bus there.  Drive to Rome, about 1.5h.

Peter's Basilica (free to enter), however you will need to pass security check which is likely to have a very long line - VATICAN DRESS CODE: The Vatican has a very specific dress code, to be taken quite seriously especially: no exposed shoulders, knees, midriffs, or (for the ladies) cleavage.
