Good , but not great package to Rome from Civitavechia (cruise terminal). - We booked the English tour, but then told it's not available, so refund or go on a Spanish one. Neither option very good. Bus was packed, including screaming babies, so not really comfortable. Tour guide did her best, but too many people for her to manage. We should have gotten a discount for not having our language.

Anstrengende Tour - Unfortunately the booked German tour was cancelled and we joined the English tour guide. Unfortunately, this was completely overwhelmed with it. Broadly speaking, an average result.

Not for elderly or disabled - Nothing in the bus tour mentions the two hours walk. The guide was so far ahead we couldn’t hear what he was saying. Then he took us to a restaurant that was part of the company. When my husband asked if we could meet back at the bus he wouldn’t say where it would be.

I do not recommend this tour. It's not worth it. - I took this tour on May 1, 2025
- The tour cost around $60 but when I arrived at the meeting point, I found out there was another tour at the same time (combined with this tour) which was 10 euros more, and unless you upgrade to that tour by paying additional 10 Euros, you don't get the speaker/ear buds. So they didn't give me earbuds and I had to stay close to the tour guide (Andres) to hear him.
- The tour guide Andres spoke Spanish most of the time and very little English. His English was marginal.
- When I booked this tour, this information was not disclosed to me.
- I do not recommend this tour.

Not what I signed up for - This felt like a classic bait and switch. We chose the panoramic tour so we could explore on our own and meet back at the bus. They pushed for $15 Euro upgrade for the headset tour which we opted out of. However the only way to get any info about when and where to meet was to follow the entire tour (basically a 5 mile urban road march) with a few minutes at the end to explore. By then we were so fed up we didn’t care to explore. From 9:40 until 3:30 there was one sanctioned bathroom break (and the one on the bus was “out or order”.

Not what we signed up for. - I do not like giving bad reviews as it means that something that I was looking forward to did not meet expectations. However, on this occasion I will make an exception.
My wife and I had booked a Panoramic tour of Rome from Civitavecchia on June 2nd.
When we arrived at the meeting point we were informed that the tour was going to be conducted in German. As neither of us spoke German we were offered a choice of a ride into Rome and self explore and a lift back or what was described as a guided tour by car.
Naturally we availed of the car. Big mistake. The driver only spoke Italian and as well as that we were joined by a lovely Spanish couple who only spoke Spanish.
We drove in silence into Rome and our driver dropped us near the Trevi Fountain. He manage to convey to us by sign language that we should meet at the same spot in 2.5 hours. He then drove us to the Vatican and gave us time to wander around on our own.
He then drove us back to the cruise ship, once more in silence..
We were given the code for an app that described the various sights which we had to find ourselves. All in all a great disappointment.

Left in Rome - My wife booked the trip, from the port where our cruise ship docked to Rome and back (or not). Tour bus dropped us in Rome, but didnt arrive to pick us up to go back to the port. I paid 180 for a Taxi so we didnt miss the ship and this company didnt care at all and wouldn't refund anything. Avoid at all cost

Too much walking - The tour should not be call TOUR BY BUS when you have to do a lot of walking. First we got off bus at Vatican outside the wall and speed walked following a teddy bear on a telescopic stick, around the compound to St Peters Square. Back on the bus to Colosseum where we got off and were instructed that we would be walking to our eventual pick up point at the river, at 3:30 pm. Colosseum to Trevi Fountain is according to Google maps one point six kilometers, the Fountain to the river is at least equal to that. We had been given a map with circle destinations and were instructed by the quide to call him (Andrea) if we run into trouble. Even where he would be from 2:15 to 3:15 having lunch. A number of people must have had trouble because they didn't make it back to our return bus.
It is not a tour for seniors especially when you walk slowly.

Not what is advertised - This tour is not what is advertised. There are only 2 stops, the Vatican and the Colleseum, and a pickup on the other side of the city. The other people on the tour who opted for the $15.00 per person upgrade to a guided tour said it was impossible to keep up if you wanted to take photos. The walking time between sites was difficult due to construction and paths closed. Not what we were expecting or what we paid for.
