What you'll see and do
Colosseum
You will be collected from the cruise terminal at 7.30 am for the journey to the Colossuem where you will be met by your tour guide. Your driver will then leave you in the capable hands of the local, expert guide and be there to collect you at the end of the tour for the journey back to your cruise ship. The tour starts with a visit to the interior of the Colosseum, also known as the “Antiteatro Flavio”. This is one of the most magnificent amphitheatres in the world and was the scene of naval battles, gladiator games and wild animal hunts. At the end of the visit you will go back outside the Colosseum to see the Arch of Constantine and the Roman Forum. The Forum was at the very heart of ancient Rome and the centre of all activity, social, religious and cultural. Now a vast archeological site there is so much to see: the Arch of Titus; the House of the Vestal Virgins; the Temple of Saturn; the Senate House and the Arch of Septimus Severus to name a few. A short walk from the Forum towards the Capitoline Hill brings you to The Vittoriano, also known as Altare della Patria, a gleaming, white, modern-day monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele. Next is a visit to one of the most well-known fountains in the world, the Trevi Fountain; made famous by Fellini’s movie “La Dolce Vita” it has become an everlasting symbol of Rome. Follow tradition and throw a coin in the fountain and make a wish that you will one day return to Rome! There is then time for a lunch break. There are many places to eat whether you want a snack or a 3-course meal. The choice is yours. After lunch it is time to visit the Government District with its many imposing buildings; the Parliament Building, The Palace of the Council of Ministers and the Column of Marcus Aurelius. Then on to the Temple of Hadrian; construction was started in the time of Adriano but finally completed by his successor the Emperor Antonius Pius. A leisurely stroll through the ancient back streets of Rome brings you to one of Rome’s most elegant squares, Piazza Navona. Surrounded by bars and restaurants the place is alive with activity and at the very centre is the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers which when it was constructed represented the rivers of the four continents; the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata. Finally you take a taxi ride(including in the price) across the Tiber for the visit to the Vatican. Here you will visit the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope’s Apartments and of course the Sistine Chapel where you can see Michelangelo’s wonderful ceiling as well as frescoes by other Renaissance artists. This is the perfect end to a day discovering the delights of Rome. You will return to your cruise ship with wonderful memories of your journey back in time to Ancient Rome!

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour?
+
Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port including Colosseum & Vatican Tour 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.
