Civitavecchia Private Excursion to Ancient Rome & Vatican Museums & Colosseum
Christine_C
, Sep 2019
Daniela was and an excellent driver and guide. On time picking us up at the port in a beautiful SUV/van taking us to the Vatican and Colosseum guiding us through some of Rome sights stopping for a coffee and grabbing a delicious sandwich for lunch. Knowledgeable and great informational conversation. Martina guided us through the Vatican and Sistine Chapel with abundant knowledge. Both were very professional and relaxed helping us to enjoy the tour. Bypassing the long lines and having the privacy of one guide to the four of us was superb. You will not be disappointed booking the private tour!
Awesome tour but a let down at the end

Andre was awesome, picked us up from cruise terminal, showed us all the sites including extras.
Only issue was 10 mins before we were supposed to start our guided tour of Vatican museum, Sistine chapel and St Peters basilica he informed us that our guide was sick and no one else was available.
We then had to navigate it by ourselves, kind of defeats the purpose of paying for a guided tour, would assume the company had a back up plan.
Also the tickets he gave us to skip the line at the basilica didn't work so we had to contact him and then wait for him to come and sort out

Our Day in Rome
Fred_M
, Jul 2018
My wife and I were on a cruise in the Mediterranean and only had a single day in Rome. We decided to book a private tour that included ancient Rome and the Vatican. Our driver, Antonio, met us at our ship and drove the 90 minutes from the cruise port of Civitavecchia into Rome. We spent the morning touring the sights of ancient Rome including: the Colosseum, the Forum; Aurelian Wall; Circus Maximus and Capitoline Hill. We also had time to visit the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain before meeting Mateo our licensed tour guide for an afternoon tour ot St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel; and the Vatican Museums. Both Antonio and Mateo were outstanding and informative. I know its impossible to see Rome in a day, but this is as close as you can come to it.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
