Overview

Explore the highlights of Rome on a private full-day tour with an optional visit to the Vatican and Colosseum. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Italian countryside, and see iconic landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and St. Peter's Square. Be picked up from the cruise port and head to Rome. Pass by the Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, the Victor Emanuel Monument, and the Capitoline Hill, leading you to the historic heart of Rome. Stroll through the charming narrow streets until you reach the magnificent Trevi Fountain. At 85 feet high and 65 feet wide, this is the largest Baroque fountain in the city with a traditional legend: those visitors who throw a coin over their left shoulder into the fountain are ensured a return trip to Rome. In this area, marvel at the Pantheon, a majestic structure constructed in A.D. 126 as a temple dedicated to all the gods.
