Best of Rome

Best-of-Rome
Duration: 9 hours

The private Shore Excursion to Rome leaves from the dock of your ship at 8:00am where you meet one of our English speaking driver-guide waiting for you holding a sign with your name on. The ride to Rome is about 75 minutes in comfort with your private minivan. This is a tour designed for those who want to see some of the major highlights of Rome without visiting the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica.

Making your way to the historical centre you will drive by the Circus Maximus, Palatine hill, Capitoline hill, Piazza Venezia that today aspect dates back to the late 19th century, dominated by the huge monument in honor of King Vittorio Emanuele II, named also vulgarly “the wedding cake” or “typewriter”. You will continue on to the magnificence of Ancient Rome with the Roman and Imperial Forums, the religious, political and commercial center of the early Rome, then stopping at the Coliseum for visiting inside: we can make reservations so that you skip the line going directly to the “reserved tickets desk”. Next you will go by the Spanish Steps, before throwing your coins into the Trevi Fountain, designed by Bernini and completed only in 1762 by Nicola Salvi. Continuing on you will stop at the glorious Pantheon, the best preserved and charming monument of antiquity: this architectural masterpiece was an excellent experiment of the abilities of architects in the very old Rome. Then you will see the famous Piazza Navona, the most baroque of Rome’s square adorned with the fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini and the St. Agnese church of his rival Borromini. You will take a break for a traditional Italian lunch before you continue towards the old Appian way, the Queen of roads, built starting the 4th century BC to connect Rome to the south of Italy reaching Brindisi, the gateway for the Eastern Countries. Here you will see monumental tombs and the Catacombs, underground tunnels where the Christians where buried for centuries: a 45 minutes guided tour to better understand the symbology of that time. Next you will be returned to your ship with a comfortable 90 minutes smooth ride.
