Wonderful Private Tour of Rome with Francesco - Excellent decision to book the Private Shore Excursion to Rome from Civitavecchia Cruise Port with Driver. We were met by our driver, FRANCESCO 10 minutes early on the pier exactly as promised. His first question to us was what is important to you today. We stated that St Peter’s Basilica was a must stop for us. While not on the original itinerary, it was our first stop. The rest of the day was icing on the cake as we seemlessly maneuvered the back streets of Rome to hit ALL of the destinations promised. After an excellent lunch suggested by Francesco, we finished our tour with our Fast Pass to the Vatican Museums finishing off with stunning views of the Sistine Chapel. Would highly recommend this tour to all cruise guests. There was never any concern on returning to the ship as the guides are well aware of the ships schedules. We would definitely do again if we return to Civitavecchia.

Wonderful Day in Rome from Civitavecchia Cruise Port - We were nervous about our day in Rome from our Cruise ship which docked in Civitavecchia - we had heard about the heat, the crowds, and the Jubilee. But our group of 11 ended up loving our day in Rome. We had two vans and our drivers, Carlo and Stefano, were amazing. They gave us lots of great information about the area as we drove to Rome. They planned out our day beautifully so we were able to see so much in such a short time. Jany, who I had emailed with prior to our trip, was able to help us get Vatican tickets and an amazing Vatican tour guide. Rome ended up being one our favorite ports on our cruise. I was in Carlo's van and he was so skilled at driving in the city and getting us close to major must-sees so we could get in and out quickly. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Rome in Limo.

Highlight of our Mediterranean Cruise - This private shore excursion from Civitavecchia Cruise Port to Rome and back was truly the highlight of our Mediterranean Cruise. Our driver and tour guide, Stephen, was professional, knowledgeable and an absolute delight. We enjoyed every minute with him as he carefully drove us from site to site, shared his incredible knowledge of the city and its history, and provided a wonderfully comprehensive and fascinating tour in the midst of a very crowded city. Riding in a comfortable limo in Rome while our driver maneuvered through the traffic and the crowds was such fun. We always felt safe and so appreciative of Stephen's ability to take us close to the sites we wanted to see so that our walks were minimized, and we were able to see as much of this beautiful city as possible. Our tour also included a private guide through the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel and that was excellent as well. Our overall tour was outstanding in every way and the price was very reasonable for the exceptional quality. Do not hesitate to book this Rome in Limo tour!

Livio is an Amazing Tour Guide! - We had the best day with Livio showing us the beauty of Rome!!! We fit so many beautiful sites in, including a few extras that we had time for which ended up being the highlights of our day! We can't wait to visit Italy again and book more tours with Livio. It was like spending the day with an old friend making us feel so comfortable in an unfamiliar place. He was great with all of us, including our kids! Thank you, Livio!

Would do again - We had a group of 12 so they brought 2 vans that met us at the cruise ship. Drivers were knowledgeable fun and did an awesome job in the tours. Had ample time when they dropped us off at certain locations. Did not feel rushed.

Only company you need - We used this incredible tour company for our tour in Rome. From the first email to the last port drop off it was a great experience. Jany was incredible to work with and helped in every aspect. Our tour in Rome was August 21 and it was perfect. There is no other company I would use while in Italy.
