Duration : 5 Hours
Super-size your transfer from Rome
or Rome airport to the port of Civitavecchia, or vice versa! This tour
has been designed especially for those wanting to maximize their time pre- or
post-cruise by touring Ancient Rome with a private guide and transfer.
Features of this pre-or post-cruise tour of Ancient Rome:
After
being whisked to the Colosseum by your courteous chauffeur you will be met by
your expert tour guide who will escort you on an exclusive 3-hour walking tour
through history.
The Colosseum, where 50.000 spectators watched cruel battles between gladiators and wild beasts are surely the most fascinating monument in Rome, and also it's most iconic; its image is recognizable the world over as the symbol of The Eternal City. You will hear amazing stories, facts, and figures regarding the Colosseum and the ruins in the Roman Forum.
This
excursion functions equally well pre-or post-cruise. Pre-cruise we can
pick you up at your Rome lodgings or from either of the Rome airports, even a
train station. Post-cruise we will pick you up at the port of
Civitavecchia. In order to pick you up
right at the ship, we recommend the use of minivans, even if your group is
larger than 8 persons.
NOT INCLUDED
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING TICKETS:
Please be aware that tickets are guaranteed only when booked.
Booking tickets this year has become almost impossible and we’re struggling to find slots available.
The Colosseum opens availability one month ahead. We will do our very best to get the admission tickets for you but if by this time we are not able to secure tickets, then those are not guaranteed.
We will have to relay to other suppliers but it’s not guaranteed.
You will be notified in case of lack of unavailability and offered an alternative solution for you to still have a wonderful experience during your visit; for example at the Colosseum, you may decide to only see the Roman Forum which is another good attraction.
We will be able to provide a certain answer regarding availability 4 weeks ahead for the Colosseum, in refer to the selected date of your tour.
You will be then free to decide how to move forward with your tour, of course.
This may cause some inconveniences, but we wanted to inform you in advance and be transparent with our customers regarding this whole situation.
Thank you very much for understanding.
