Private Rome Tour from Civitavecchia Cruise Port
Your Schedule, Your Stops, Your Pace – A Private Vehicle, Just for Your Group

You choose when you leave the ship, which neighbourhoods you want to see, where you stop for lunch, and how long you linger at each landmark. Your driver-guide adjusts the plan in real time – something a shared excursion, by design, cannot offer.

What Makes This Tour Private, Not Just a Shared Excursion in a Smaller Van
A private tour isn’t simply “the same excursion with fewer people.” The format itself changes what’s possible during your day:
| Private Rome Tour | Shared Rome Excursion | |
|---|---|---|
| Departure time | Chosen by you, based on your ship’s schedule | Fixed group departure |
| Number of stops | Unlimited — add or drop stops as the day goes | Fixed, standard route |
| Neighbourhoods covered | Core sites plus optional areas like Trastevere or Testaccio | Core sites only |
| Photo stops | Extra stops possible (Piazza del Popolo, Circus Maximus, etc.) | Limited to the standard itinerary |
| Lunch | A specific restaurant can be included or suggested on request | Not typically arranged |
| Pace | Set entirely by your group | Set for the average of the group |
| Price | €590 flat, per vehicle (up to 8 passengers) | €90 per person |
For a group of 4 or more, the private tour often costs less per person than the shared option, while giving you full control over the day.

Your Schedule, Your Stops, Your Pace – A Private Vehicle, Just for Your Group
A Typical Private Itinerary – Built Around What You Want to See
Because the itinerary is flexible, no two private tours look exactly the same. Here’s a representative full day, which your driver-guide will adapt to your priorities:
- Pickup at Civitavecchia cruise terminal – at a time you choose, coordinated with your ship’s actual arrival
- Vatican City & St. Peter’s Basilica – exterior views, or a pre-booked skip-the-line entry if you’ve arranged tickets
- Optional detour: Trastevere or Testaccio – for travellers who want to see a more local, less touristic side of Rome
- Colosseum & Roman Forum – as much time here as you’d like
- Extra photo stop: Circus Maximus or Piazza del Popolo – added easily since the route isn’t fixed
- Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona & Spanish Steps – walked at your pace, skipping anything you’re not interested in
- Lunch – at a specific restaurant included on request, or wherever suits the group
- Return to Civitavecchia – timed with a guaranteed buffer before your ship’s departure
Want a completely different structure? Some groups prefer to spend the whole day in one or two areas rather than covering many sites – that’s equally possible. Tell your driver-guide your priorities at pickup, and the day is planned around them.

Why Choose a Private Tour Specifically
You have a specific priority. Only a private tour lets the itinerary itself change, if the Vatican matters more to you than the Trevi Fountain, the day reflects that.
You’re travelling with people who move at different paces. Children, older relatives, or anyone who prefers a slower visit benefit from a schedule that isn’t set by group consensus.
You want neighbourhoods beyond the standard sites. Trastevere’s cobbled streets or Testaccio’s local market aren’t part of a typical shared itinerary they’re easy to add here.
You’re a group of 4 or more. The flat €590 rate, split across the group, is often more economical than four or more individual shared tickets.
Your ship’s port call has an unusual schedule. If your departure time means an early or late pickup, a private tour accommodates that directly rather than fitting you into a fixed group time.
What’s Included
- Private Mercedes V-Class or similar vehicle, air-conditioned, up to 8 passengers

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose what time we leave the ship?
Yes. Unlike the shared excursion, which departs at a fixed time, the private tour’s departure is set around your preference and your ship’s actual arrival time.
Can we skip sites we’re not interested in and add others instead?
Yes. Tell your driver-guide your priorities at pickup – the itinerary is built around what your group actually wants to see, including neighbourhoods like Trastevere or Testaccio that aren’t part of the standard route.
Is there a limit to how many stops we can make?
No fixed limit. The day is planned around your available hours in Rome, not a set number of stops.
Can you arrange a specific restaurant for lunch?
Yes, on request. Let us know your preferences (cuisine, budget, area of the city) when booking, and we can suggest or arrange a specific restaurant along your route.
How much does a private Rome tour from Civitavecchia cost?
€590 flat rate for the vehicle, for up to 8 passengers. This is a per-vehicle price, not per person, so it becomes more economical per traveller as your group grows.
Is a licensed tour guide included?
Your driver-guide provides commentary and local context throughout the day but is not a licensed guide authorised to accompany you inside monuments such as the Vatican Museums or the Colosseum. If you’d like a licensed guide for interior visits, this can be arranged separately at an additional cost.
What happens if our ship is delayed?
Your driver-guide monitors your ship’s real-time arrival. If it’s delayed, your pickup time adjusts automatically at no extra charge.
What if we’re running late on our way back to the ship?
The day is planned with a return buffer before your ship’s departure, and your driver adjusts the route in real time if traffic requires it. In the rare event a delay is caused by our service, our guaranteed return policy covers transport to the next port of call.
Can we book for a group larger than 8?
Yes. For groups of 9 – 16, we arrange two coordinated vehicles. Contact us for a custom quote.
Is this tour available for families with young children?
Yes. Child and booster seats are available at no extra charge – just specify ages when booking.
