Perfect and affordable price - Perfect organization, just on arrival the shuttles to the port are not well marked but this is independent of the organization. Top guide Andrea, bring a snack because lunch at 3 p.m.!

The best Guide Andrea - The guide Andrea was excellent, he took us around Rome, taking a beautiful tour, very fun, he explained the history of Rome to us, super interesting

Eternal City - Highly recommend this tour. It is very fast paced and there is a lot of walking involved. If you would like to see Rome in a day without going into the vatican, etc. and just see the sites, this tour is for you. We were lucky enough to have visited Rome previously before so just going back to see the sites was perfect for us. We were on a cruise and our ship was docked overnight. The next day we went back on our own to go into St. Peter's Basilica.

Amazing experience - Amazing city highly recommended. Must stay at least a week to absorb this historic city with plenty snap shots

I have never been able to visit Civitavecchia. - Cruise stop, scheduled one-hour tour to show the main things in Civitavecchia. Disappointment and rip-off of an hour, noisy bus with absent guide, no stops except at the Taurine spa where we would have had to pay another €7 who knows who and for what... in not even an hour of city traffic we spent €30, I could have rented a car to do the same things..

A Complete Dud! - Let me start out to say I travel a lot, over 70 countries. Our tour started out as a cluster being so disorganized, so many different groups all together no one really knowing where to stand. Cruise ship buses continued coming dropping hoards of people all mingling into the mess. Tour was supposed to leave at 9:30. We were asked to be there 30 minutes early which we were, checking in at 8:45. At 9:25 there were still no indication that the tour bus was being filled so I asked the young lady who was checking us in about our group number four she said we were fine just go back and stand with the group of people, 10 o’clock came still no bus I again asked where was the bus she replied she didn’t know at 10:25 I asked where the bus was she told me the bus was stuck in traffic. At this time we were thinking we should have taken the train and deliberating canceling all together. At 10:40 they finally called group 4 everyone rushed to the bus. We ended up having to sit in the back. When the bus pulled out we could hardly hear the guide who happened to be the same girl we checked in with. Someone sitting a few seats up asked would the tour extend the hour and a half we were late leaving and the guide replied no because everyone wasn’t on the same schedule and the bus driver was working on his day off! Then she replied that we would miss some of the scheduled activities but don’t worry we could see them on our next trip to Italy. 😳 The guide making her way to the back of the bus checking peoples names when she got to us she said “sorry about the delay we had to wait for a bus from a delayed cruise ship” I replied I’m disappointed because a lot of us being where and when we were told to be are missing what we purchased and expected. The guides response was “well if the roles were reversed you would expect the same” I said absolutely not. We didn’t arrive into the city until 12:15 … The most important part of the tour missed was seeing the inside of Vatican. The day was pushing thru crowds trying to keep everyone together following a little black umbrella and finally at 3:20 we were told we could have until 3:50 for lunch, thank goodness I brought snacks because my husband is a diabetic, no where in the area she brought us could you get food in 30 minutes everything being a sit down restaurant you would be lucky to even get sat down nevermind order and get food. I personally will never book another tour thru this group and have talked to several friends who are coming on this cruise we have booked about our less than pleasant experience. A complete dud in my book.

Wouldn’t do again - To start, we understand that there is a lot to see in Rome - so this tour is a good way to scratch the surface. It was advertised that we would have the opportunity to go into St Peters Basilica - but we were told by our guide that they never do St Peters Basilica. The headsets are an extra 4 euro charge per person - which are ultimately essential to being able to get any information throughout the tour. This is something that should be factored into the price. Our tour was bilingual - half English and half Spanish. The guide kept having to switch between languages. It made it very difficult to understand the locations we were at and what she was saying. We should’ve been split I to two groups or with two guides.

Never again - For some unknown reason, our registration ended up in a Spanish group. However, we had no knowledge of Spanish. The group's tour guide did not take this into account and also set a decent pace, which we, as 70-year-olds, could only keep up with with great effort. I had the impression that other (older) participants on the tour felt the same way. All in all, a disappointing experience that I would have gladly avoided. It also included a much longer walk than the colorful bus pictures in the advertisement promised.

IFYOU MUST SEE ROME ,SEE WITH SOMEONE ELSE - Avoid this company, their reps will hassle you for your custom with false promises. Yes you will be taken to the Vatican where you will spend an extremely long time, then rushed to the other promised sites with no real chance of appreciation or photography then another long stay at the end of the tour waiting for the bus back to Civitavetcchia Our guide just went at his pace with no concern for the elderly and those less able despite many requests to slow down A much shorter stay at the Vatican at the begining of the tour and a much shorter stay at the the Trevi Fountain at the end would have made the walk in between much more leisurely and interesting, we were told the walking distance was 2km we did 17,500steps and it wasn't just us who were lost from the guide , there was a group of 24 others .. from the same party who had also been parted from the guide. Both the guide and the tour company CIVITATOURS blamed the customers for this , even when besieged with angry passengers they would not accept responsibility. It may be more expensive to go by private car but at least you can determine the route and pace Also this company uses radio headsets which are completely useless when the speaker ( guide ) is up front out of transmission range To sum up... A waste of £100 for something that should have been an experience of a lifetime AND, no fault of this tour company BUT be prepared for 5 of the biggest cruise boats on the planet disembarking 15- 20 thousand passengers on the streets of Rome MAYHEM!!!!

Disaster Rome - She who was in charge of the group was far too few words! We didn't get to know much about our excursion, It was a pace on her as if we were running the Rome Marathon! There were several that he was not in the pace, an example was at a red light that she and half the group managed to cross and when they were over she just walked away without waiting for the other half and then the Rome Marathon started to catch up with the group some managed not caught, to the point that several had a time to fit the cruise ship and we arrived too late but had to go but as luck would have it, if she had followed the times she sat for lunch and walked around and discovered for herself, it would have been ok. The group had to stand and wait for her until she had finished eating, everyone else had eaten their food to pass the time, SEK 1000 was wasted and a day's holiday Etc. Leo
