What to expect
Your fabulous Charming VIP Ancient Rome Shore excursion will begin as your English Speaking Driver picks you up you up from your cruise at the Civitavecchia Port and chauffeurs you to Rome city Center. In an elegant and comfortable Mercedes Benz Vehicle you will be chauffeured to the first stop of your tour: Colosseum and Roman Forum! Admire the glorious Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the capital's most remarkable monuments. During the Roman Empire the Roman Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years.
Move on with the tour and reach Circus Maximus, the largest stadium in Ancient Rome, built for chariot races. Imagine to be taking part of one of the Circus Maximus chariot races competitions in which participants tried to complete seven laps of the Circus Maximus. The competitors, mounted in small chariots drawn by horses, gambled much more than their prestige or large prizes in the races, since many of them were slaves fighting for their liberty.
The Palatine Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome and it is one of the most ancient parts of the city as it stands right above the Roman Forum and upon the Circus Maximus.
Colle Aventino
You will then visit the Aventine Hill and enjoy the Secret Keyhole view. The keyhole vista lines up perfectly with the garden, centered on the St. Peter’s Cupola in the distance. The doorway in question leads to the Priory of the Knights of Malta, the legendary crusader knights!
Piazza del Campidoglio
Of course once that you will have visited the Circus Maximus, you cannot miss the chance to admire the Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill)! It is inevitable that you will be charmed by the stunning panoramas of the Roman Forum from there.
Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II
Our next stop will be Venezia Square, where is placed the Altare della Patria! This national Monument is dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II and was inaugurated in 1911 as a tribute to the first king of Italy after the country's unification.
Pantheon
The lovely Pantheon is the following attraction to visit. Located in Piazza della Rotonda, it was first built as a temple to roman gods, nowadays is considered as the best conserved Ancient Roman monument, and what’s more interesting is that nobody is sure about its age. Get impressed by its famous hole in the roof, that on summer days gives a beautiful spectacle inside.
Afterwards we will go to Trevi Fountain, where you can partake in the coin-throwing tradition!
As a true VIP guests you then will be chauffeured to the most glamorous location of Rome; Spanish Steps! You will have the chance to climb the splendid Spanish Steps and have a remarkable view of the Piazza di Spagna.
While being chauffeured to Vatican, enjoy the views of the Castel Sant'Angelo is a fortress located on the right bank of the Tiber, a short distance from the Vatican City.
The Vatican will take your breath away as you the first thing you will see is one of the world’s most famous squares: Saint Peter’s Square! Here, as an additional, you will have the option to visit the Vatican Museums, which holds art masterpieces amassed by Popes through history, then you could also visit the astonishing Sistine Chapel, with its famous ceiling decorated by Michelangelo and finally get inside of the St. Peter’s Basilica, words are not enough to describe the beauty of this church!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
