About this activity

Skip the queues at Rome's two most iconic sites with a private 8-hour guided tour including pre-booked access to the Colosseum and Vatican Museums, plus a dedicated driver and expert guide. Ideal for cruise passengers or city-based travellers seeking a curated, high-touch experience of ancient and Renaissance Rome.

Most tours only cover outdoor sights, but this one also includes private guided tour of the Colosseum and Vatican Museums. Tickets are included for both sites.
Our expert Drivers will pick you up at your location in Rome or at the Port of Civitavecchia under the ship.
You will visit the Colosseum with a private Tour guide for 1 hour and the Vatican Museums always with your Private Guide for about 2-3 hours

Follow these 2 areas you will visit the catacombs and the Appian Way if the tour starts from Rome city center.

From the port of Civitavecchia we will show you the squares and fountains in Rome like the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain.
We can customize what you'd like to see even on the day of the tour but there won't be enough time to see the catacombs if you're coming from the the port of Civitavecchia.

If we'll pick you up at the port of Civitavecchia port we will drive you back to the port of Civitavecchia under the ship on time.
