          Great easy to begin or end trip inn Rome!
          Marco was prompt picking us up from port. Took us all around the favorite sites and some even hidden sites recommended a delightful local place for lunch and delivered us to the airport Hilton. He was mindful to include the must see areas for a friend who never been, and some really interesting special sites since I had been there numerous times.

          Mugs round the Station
          I got mugged on boarding the train. My pouch bag inside my Handbag was taken which had my passport and documents but when the mugger saw ONLY paperwork she returned it to me before the door of the train closed. I would have been absolutely devastated if she hadn’t returned this pouch to me. Please be v careful.

          We really enjoyed touring these two Etruscan cities.
          Very nice day in which we could go at our own pace. Enjoyed visiting the Etruscan tombs and churches. Also had a wonderful lunch before heading back to the port.

          Really great day trip to Rome
          Fantastic full day tour of all Rome Top spots we could get done in a day. Contacted Emanuele a few weeks ago and he was very responsive , providing details of each of the places he recommended and offering options and alternatives Picked 6 of us up from the ship cruise port ( he can get directly to the ship , which was really convenient ) at 8:30am on time He is very knowledgeable , has really good English and supplemented his knowledge with pics and recorded content when needed . This was a super convenient way to see Rome in a day ( the port is an hour each way ) rather than figure out how to get into Rome His vehicle has the rights to get very close to each location so we didn’t have to walk a lot in the hot day Very worthwhile

          Terrible!
          Terrible! I paid extra to get picked up at the airport and no driver showed up! When I called they didn’t even remember that I was supposed to get picked up. Absolutely ridiculous!

          Expensive but terrible experience
          First, the company gave the wrong cruise ship name to the driver, which significantly delayed everything. Second, the driver’s English was not confluence at all with strong Italian accent; we couldn’t understand the driver most of the time. Third, once we got on the car/bus, the driver started selling us the guided tour package to Sistine Chapel, telling us regular tickets would take three hours of waiting before entering the Chapel. The guided tour was really expensive at $390 for four people. The expensive tour was said to be about two hours, but it was just about one hour. We did miss a couple of visiting sites listed on their company’s descriptions of the private tour, so we asked the driver if we could visit one or two of them after the Chapel visit, but the driver warned us about the heavy traffic, so we didn’t go to those missed places. Overall, we paid almost $1,300 for a supposedly wonderful but actually terrible private tour!

We have younge child with us and was under the crazy hot weather but everything is smooth! Our driver Emanuel was amazing ! Love the time spent with him. Highly recommended him. If you come to Rome, hire this company is the key! Especially in the hot summer weather.

          Terrible! Operator cancelled at 5PM the day prior to our planned excursion!!!
          If I could rate this a 0, I would. Beware of this company! We reserved this excursion for our July 2023 Disney Cruise trip on April 25, 2023 for 7 adults and 2 children. On May 5, I realized that children 10 & 12 are considered adults, so I messaged the operator to let them know that it should be 9 adults. It took a few days but they confirmed that they had updated our booked details. Our cruise started on July 8, and on July 10 the operator sent a confirmation email that they had charged my card and that pick up at the port would be at 8AM on July 13. All 9 of us were at the pick up place at 8am, 20 minutes later, there is still no driver to pick us up. Around 8:20 I place a call to their office, no one picks up. I make 2 more calls, I try to pull my email but the connection was bad and was unable to. Finally around 8:40 a man picks up the phone and tells me they cancelled our reservation. I asked why and he says "no room for 9 people", when I followed up with a questions, he simply hung up the phone. We were so disappointed and mad, this was going to be one for our big excursions during our cruise. We were fortunate to find Limousine Cruise Service, but lost a lot of time and only ended up having 4 hours in Rome. If you are looking for a Civitavecchia excursion operator, go to Limousine Cruise Service and ask for Bruno. He was excellent! Don't go with Cruising Rome, we heard from another family who said they know another group who was cancelled by Cruising Rome. We were refunded the money from Cruising Rome, but stay away from this company! Turns out they emailed at 5pm the day before the planned excursion to cancel the reservation and only said "I'm really sorry to inform you that for a serious of contingieces we are not able to provide you the service tomorrow." They also knew we had tickets at 1PM to go to the Colosseum on that day. BEWARE!!!

          Awesome tour from Civ to Rome
          Giorgio was our driver and we had an awesome visit from Civitavecchia cruise port into Rome. There were 6 total people in our group and we had the best day! He knew all of the secret back alley parking spots that allowed us to maximize our day. We ended up directly calling them to confirm and everything went smoothly the whole day. Highly recommend this tour!!

          Tickets never materialised for Rome Express fast train
          The tickets were not sent in time so was not allowed onto the train. I shown proof of purchase/payment but still was not allowed to board. Trying to get in touch with yourselves is a bit of a nightmare as keep being sent around in circles. Please refund the ÂŁ122.00 back into my account

          A great day in Rome!
          Daniela was awesome. He was waiting for us when we got off the ship. He took us everywhere we wanted to go. This was the only way to see Rome. He was extremely courteous and accommodating. What an incredible day. We saw so much more than we would have if we had gone with the ship excursion. Highly recommended.

          Crowd Free Rome Alternative
          We loved the history and lack of crowds. The guides were very helpful and there was much to see. Great alternative to visiting Rome.

        Pre arrival it took days to get an answer to a simple question - how will we know if trip cancelled due to operator having insufficient bookings? Answer: day of by phone or email. Good luck if don't travel with their method of contact.
        The pick up went smoothly however " they had to fill the van" before we could go. Turns out folks from our ship with no reservation joined and paid half of our price. Then the driver - " an expert historian" would drop us near a site give basic hand directions, with no info on the history, and want us all back. If not for Google maps and search important info and sites would not have been seen. For example at one stop the Roman forum was less than .3 miles yet have no clue it was there. Later as we passed the area he noted just that it was a political area on way to colloseum. Driver did not really understand English so had to use Google translate. There was no active narration of the visit. Driver should have known that access to Vatican and Basilica was restricted on Wednesday due to papal events but took us there first when access was mist restricted. Driver implied that all participants had to eat lunch in the same place so tour could continue on time however for each stop we were on our own with responsibility to return at designated time. As a group we did get driver to relinquish the one restaurant idea but he was reluctant. During the tour due to disappointment I wrote to the contact info provided by Cruising Rome only to find they directed you to another vendors website and support. I had multiple contacts with this agency - who were professional - only to find they were not the agency. I immediately sent complaint to Viator with a copy of all correspondence to the first agency. It has been several days and no clear resolution. I did get a response requesting the reasons for a partial refund request to which I resent all the correspondence indicating why and trip not as promised. If this is a sample of the quality Viator! TripAdvisor tours then we will be hesitant to select again.We only booked one of three tours through TripAdvisor and are thankful we used alternative agents.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
