PANORAMIC ROME Shore Excursions from Civitavecchia

WATCH our Panoramic Rome for Cruisers Tour - 5 Top Rome Shore Excursions from Civitavecchia

  

We created our  Panoramic Rome Tour  due to high demand from cruisers who preferred to enjoy a more slow-paced flexible tour, avoid super crowded places such as the Colosseum and Vatican, and the flexibility of not having to purchase in advance non-refundable tickets at specific time slots as required by the Vatican Museums and Colosseum.

The Panoramic Rome Tour is also a preferred option on the First Sundays of the Month when the Colosseum has Free Entry (and thus incredibly crowded with visitors in hours-long lines to enter the monument) and when the Vatican Museums are closed.

 

 

On our Panoramic Rome Tour, you will enjoy a visit to the magnificent ancient Pantheon inside Piazza della Rotonda,  stroll through Rome’s lively squares: the elegant Spanish Steps, the oblong and entertaining Piazza Navona, the symphony of gushing waters at the Trevi Fountain, and St Peter’s Square that appears to embrace visitors with its vast colonnades for a remarkable view of St Peter’s Basilica from the outside.

After lunch you will explore the ancient Roman area of the city with a panoramic view of the Roman Forum (as well as a glimpse of the Palatine Hill and Colosseum) from the strategic terrace on Capitoline Hill.  You will also stop in Colosseum Square to enjoy a photographic view of the imposing Colosseum.
