Full description

Civitavecchia Port Your personal chauffeur will be waiting for you right where the cruise ship docks to take you on a tour of Roma's top attractions: Vatican Museums, Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. 1 hour • Free Admission Ticket Vatican Museums Your private driver will escort you to the Vatican Museums where your guide awaits you — thanks to our skip-the-line ticket, bidding adieu to those infamous queues that can only be likened to a snake wrapping around the walls of Vatican City. The Vatican Museums are considered one of the most beautiful museum complexes in the world; not only do they boast having one of the finest art collections on this planet but also hold irreplaceable works from Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Etruscan antiquities along with a valuable picture gallery ranging from twelfth through nineteenth century featuring pieces by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. Originally just a marshy burial ground, the site first developed in the 7th century BC and grew over time to be Rome's social, political and commercial hub— indeed the center of the Roman empire. The Arch of Septimius Severus, Curia, Temple of Saturn and Arch of Titus are some of the sightseeing highlights found here. Located 40 meters above the Roman Forum is Palatine Hill— it stands at the center of Rome's seven hills. High Roman society was once bustling with life; today you can see hundreds upon hundreds (if not more) ruins from these grandiose buildings created for high Romans during ancient times. For a fresh perspective on Rome there’s no better place than Palatine! Your private driver will return you back to Civitavecchia Port just in time for boarding your ship.
