We offer an English speaking driver who can provide transportation, but highly recommend adding a private guide for a more memorable experience. A private guide is available for the 6 hour walking tour of  Ancient and Christian Rome.Your driver will be waiting for you at your port of arrival, holding a sign with your name on it.

The vehicle & driver would be at the ship as you disembark to pick you up and bring you into the city (to meet up with the guide) and would then be at your disposal for the full day of sightseeing in Rome to help you during your day. At the end of your day the driver would then drive you back directly to your ship.

Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of the city-state of Rome, founded on the Italian peninsula in the 8th century BC. It came to dominate Western Europe and the entire area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea through conquest and assimilation, but eventually succumbed to barbarian invasions in the 5th century, marking the decline of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages.

The area containing many archaeological sites is described as ancient Rome, from the Via dei Fori Imperiali where the impressive forum is located, to the Coliseum, the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla. Archaeological remains can also be spotted all over the eternal city, in the least expected places, and many can be discovered beneath the modern city of Rome.

Visit the Catacombs of the early Christians, miles of underground burial sites up to four stories deep, just outside the Ancient city walls of Rome, and also the believed site of illegal worship during the persecutions. Also visit some of the major churches in Rome such as St. John's Cathedral, St. Mary's Major and St. Paul's outside the walls.
