What you'll see and do
Piazza del Colosseo
Step into the grandeur of Piazza del Colosseo, a spacious cobblestoned pedestrian square that offers a captivating view of the majestic Colosseum and the nearby Arch of Constantine. Behold the awe-inspiring Colosseum - a glorious amphitheater, its monumental facade capturing the imagination of all who lay eyes upon it. Constructed over 2,000 years ago, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian and completed under the reign of his son, Titus. Its magnificent structure, featuring a massive elliptical shape and towering arches, showcases the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the Roman civilization.

Your next stop in Rome's historic center will be Capitoline Hill where you will be treated to a panoramic splendor sweeping across the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill from a terrace known for the most picturesque view. It is incredible to imagine that the vast remains of temples and public buildings in the Roman Forum were once part of the most important center of the Roman Empire as it served as its political, legal, financial and religious nucleus.
25 minutes here
Circo Massimo
The Circus Maximus is the large ancient stadium where chariot races were held for the pleasure of Roman citizens and royalty. Listen closely and you can almost hear the roar of the crowds and the galloping of the horses’ hooves as they race for the finish. Envision chariot races as seen in the famous film Ben Hur.
15 minutes here
Piazza Venezia
As you drive through Piazza Venezia, you will also have the opportunity to see from the comfort of your vehicle the Vittorio Emanuele II Monument that was dedicated to the first king of Italy. The monument is also blindingly white, making it highly conspicuous as it sits among the ochre buildings surrounding it. Its stacked, crowded appearance has caused it to be saddled with several nicknames from "Zuppa Inglese", "the wedding cake", and "the dentures", while Americans liberating Rome in 1944 labeled it "the typewriter", a nickname also adopted by the locals.
15 minutes here
Piazza Della Rotonda
Once an ancient pagan temple of all Roman gods. Several centuries later it became a Christian church and burial place for Italy's kings and notable artists such as Raphael. It is the best preserved of all ancient Roman buildings, and perhaps the best-preserved building of its age in the world. The Pantheon is the oldest standing domed structure in Rome as well as in continuous use throughout its history. Entry fee to this site is € 5 per person to be paid on site.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Trevi Fountain
Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the city. Legend has it that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they will be assured a return to Rome. The current interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. Another current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the fountain.
15 minutes here
Spanish Steps
The Spanish Steps is where you will find the famous 18th-century winding steps that connect the square below to the French church of Trinita dei Monti above. Below is the early 1600’s Baroque fountain, “Fontana Della Barcaccia”, or “The Fountain of the Old Boat”, a type of shallow boat popular for carrying wine to the port of Ripetta. The unique fountain is credited to Pietro Bernini, the father of the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
15 minutes here
Your Rome Tour will continue with a visit to the impressive St Paul Outside the Walls, the second largest basilica in Rome and one of the four Papal Basilicas - the highest-ranking churches in Christendom. The Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls was given the name “outside the walls” as it was built outside the ancient Roman Aurelian Walls.

Excellent post-cruise tour!
We had a wonderful post-cruise tour with Stefano RomeCabs! Booking was easy - excellent communication. We were picked up at Civitavecchia, and driven to Umbria, where we did a private wine tasting at a family owned, organic winery. It was amazing! Our driver then took us to Orvieto. During the drive, he gave us some history and information, and suggested a great restaurant for lunch. After our visit to Orvieto, he dropped us off at our hotel in Rome. It was a perfect day. The driver spoke excellent English, was personable, funny, and informative. We will definitely book with Stefano RomeCabs again!

Great post cruise private Tivoli tour….
Smooth pick up at cruise terminal and a wonderful tour to Tivoli before our drop off to our airbnb. Our driver was the best. He even went as far as booking a lunch for us at the most beautiful restaurant in Tivoli. What a wonderful and day. We can’t thank you enough.

Stefano Post Cruise Private Tour-the only way to see Rome!!!
This is the best way to end a fabulous cruise and start your Rome adventure!!! We were met at 7:30 am by our driver Michele. It was so easy- you walk out the gangway, through the terminal for your luggage and he was waiting right outside the door. We drove from the Civitavecchia port to Rome and started our landmark stops right away. Rome was having a heatwave and it was wonderful to return to an air conditioned car with water at each stop. Our driver Michele was awesome! We saw everything we wanted- the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps etc. Michele even made reservations for us at a lovely restaurant for lunch. After lunch, we drove to the Vatican where we were met by our tour guide named Rafaella . She was wonderful. We did not need headphones or earbuds, because she was right beside us every step of the way explaining in detail- the museum, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. This upgrade was more than worth it!! We ended with Michele driving us to our hotel. All I can say is this was worth every penny!! Stefano Rome Tours is a class act!! Thank you again Michele for treating us like family!! We will never forget your hospitality!!!

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring) cost?
+
Prices start at $840 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring) take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Post Cruise Rome (Driver Only/Self Touring) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
