Our driver Simon was very flexible and gave us just the right amount of time at each part of Rome that we wanted to visit with our kids. He was very prompt, and the van was always exactly where he said he would meet us. Simon gave us interesting background information but also let us relax on the drive to/from Civitavecchia.
Toured all the main sites in Rome from the comfort of a spacious mini van. Temperatures were 40+ so the aircon was appreciated. Great guide with lots of information.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Rome in the comfort of our minivan, especially during such a hot day. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the tour and the information provided along the way. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to Rome again in the future! Thank you for choosing Cruising Rome.
Definitely worth it… especially because it was so hot! Our guide, Alessandro, was wonderful. He even recommended a pizza place for us.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that everything met your expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Rome in the future. Thank you for choosing Cruising Rome.
Our captain, Claudio, is a native to the island and a pro on deck. Watched our headcount of 5 and another couple the entire time to ensure our safety and satisfaction. We didn’t use the facilities or the cabin so can’t speak for them, but boat deck was tidy and appointed. Will consider again if we ever return. Thank you!
We booked 3 different independent shore excursion private tours in 3 ports. This one ended up being our favorite. We ended up with a tour guide (Kate) and a driver when we were expecting only a driver. After discussing with us what our priorities were, they were able to prepare an awesome itinerary that required minimal walking in the super hot weather, while allowing us to see many sites. It seems they may outsource to other vendors, so it's probably by luck who we got.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly honored that, among the three private shore excursions you booked during your cruise, ours was your favorite. We're delighted that you enjoyed the personalized itinerary, carefully planned around your priorities while keeping walking to a minimum despite the summer heat. Just to clarify, both the driver and the tour assistant who accompanied you are part of the Cruising Rome team. We always strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests by carefully selecting the most suitable team for each tour. Thank you once again for choosing Cruising Rome. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience in Italy!
Our driver and guide, Emanuele, was exceptionally attentive and accommodating. Long before we arrived at Rome’s iconic landmarks, he set the mood with an incredible playlist that matched the grandeur of the city. He enriched our tour with fascinating cultural insights, took us to the best panoramic viewpoints, and so much more. Traveling with my mom in a wheelchair can be challenging, but Emanuele went above and beyond—frequently lending a helping hand and guiding us through accessible routes. In just 5 hours, we saw the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Gianicolo Hill view, ending with a relaxing lunch in Campo de' Fiori. A fun fact we learned from him: ROMA spelled backward is AMOR (“love” in Italian)—and we certainly fell in love with Rome thanks to him!

The private tour is the best way to go when traveling with a group. We were able to adjust our agenda based on the needs of our group. Our driver Rosario was very knowledgeable and shared hidden gems in Rome.

Very nice experience Extremely professional driver Great knowledge of the city and willingness to share the beauties of Rome with us
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique avis! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience ainsi que la découverte de Rome. Vos gentils mots sont une belle récompense pour notre équipe. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d'un prochain séjour en Italie!
We booked this tour as it sounded perfect to see all the main highlights of Rome in one day during our cruise ship stop. Emanuele our tour guide did not disappoint and went above and beyond to make our day incredible. Started near the Vatican and went in coffee shop to get some good coffee and pastries. Delish! He was able to park the van very close to each of the stops to see Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Vatican City and a few others big stops. He had multiple "secret" stops that gave us unreal aerial views of the ruins and the city of Rome. Navigated the city like a superstar. He brought us to the cutest most delicious little restaurant where we received exceptional service. Visited the market to get a few things to bring back.. he even bought each of us a little souvenir to remember our day. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Rome, has a highlights book that shows you before and current photos of each of the famous landmarks. He offered to take our pictures as a family at all stops. Had us promptly and safely back to port on time. I can't say enough about our day! So many memories made. It was my families' favorite tour. Don't hesitate, book this!
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review! It means so much to us to know that your day in Rome was filled with wonderful memories and that every part of the experience, from the itinerary to the local recommendations, helped make your visit special.
