Tour description

With your private driver and executive-class vehicle, you’ll depart from Civitavecchia port and reach Rome in just over an hour.

Near the Vatican, your private guide, a specialist in art history, will lead you on a memorable tour of the Vatican Museums, revealing their art, secrets, and spiritual legacy. As you walk through the galleries filled with sculptures, frescoes, and tapestries, you'll experience one of the largest art collections of the Catholic Church.

Inside the Sistine Chapel, let yourself be amazed by the most iconic frescoes of all time, masterpieces by Michelangelo that still inspire awe today. This breathtaking space also serves as the site of the papal conclave.

Your visit continues in St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest and most symbolic church of Catholicism, home to Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s magnificent Baldachin. Once outside, you'll find yourself in the majestic St. Peter’s Square.

After completing the Vatican tour, enjoy a relaxing lunch break. Then, together with your guide, decide how to continue exploring Rome’s most iconic landmarks.

You may stroll through Piazza Navona and admire its fountains, explore the 2,000-year-old Pantheon, climb the Spanish Steps, and toss a coin into the legendary Trevi Fountain.

Continue your journey through ancient Rome with a panoramic drive past the Colosseum, the iconic amphitheater of imperial spectacles, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Roman Forum from Capitoline Hill.

We’ll return to Civitavecchia port on time, ensuring a smooth and stress-free embarkation.
