Civitavecchia Port

Your private driver meets you directly at the pier for a comfortable minivan transfer to Rome.

Meet Your Private Golf Cart

Begin your personalized Golf Cart experience through the heart of Rome.

Circus Maximus

As your golf cart glides past the vast green space of the Circus Maximus, imagine chariots thundering down this ancient racetrack, once the largest in the Roman Empire and still echoing with centuries of excitement.

Colosseum

Begin your adventure at the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater ever built. Walk the same paths as gladiators and emperors as you uncover epic tales of ancient Rome’s bloodsport and spectacle.

Aventine Hill

One of Rome’s fabled seven hills, the Aventine offers leafy serenity, elegant churches, and a touch of mystery — especially the famed keyhole of the Knights of Malta, which frames a perfect view of St. Peter’s Dome.

Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden)

Enjoy a peaceful pause at this hidden gem. The Orange Garden delights with its citrus-scented paths and one of the most breathtaking panoramic views over the Roman skyline and the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Bocca della Verità (Mouth of Truth)

Visit this legendary stone face that, according to myth, bites the hands of liars. Located outside the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, it’s one of Rome’s most quirky and beloved photo ops.

Piazza del Campidoglio

Designed by Michelangelo himself, this elegant hilltop square is home to the Capitoline Museums and offers sweeping views over the Roman Forum. A perfect place to reflect on the layers of Rome’s political and cultural history.

Temple of Hercules Victor

This circular marble temple near the Tiber River is the oldest surviving building in Rome made entirely of marble. Often mistaken for a Roman temple of Vesta, it’s a rare example of Greek influence in Roman architecture.

Temple of Portunus

Next to the Temple of Hercules, this small, elegant structure dedicated to the god of harbors is one of the best-preserved temples from ancient Rome, showcasing classical harmony and proportion.

Theatre of Marcellus

Often called the “mini Colosseum,” this ancient theater pre-dates the Flavian amphitheater and once hosted drama, music, and poetry. Its massive arches still support modern apartments — a true blend of past and present.

Campo de’ Fiori

From morning markets to nighttime energy, Campo de’ Fiori is a square full of contrasts. With its lively cafés and rich history — including the statue of philosopher Giordano Bruno — it captures the soul of Roman life.

Trevi Fountain

Toss a coin over your shoulder into the dazzling Baroque fountain and make a wish. The Trevi Fountain is the embodiment of theatrical Roman grandeur — a magical finale to your unforgettable journey through the Eternal City.

Piazza Venezia

At the crossroads of Rome’s historic center, Piazza Venezia is dominated by the colossal white monument to Victor Emmanuel II. It’s a chaotic yet thrilling mix of modern traffic and timeless grandeur.

Portico of Octavia

This ancient structure, once part of a vast temple complex, is a reminder of Rome’s imperial devotion to gods and emperors. Today, it’s nestled in the Jewish Ghetto, blending layers of religious and cultural history.

Tiber Island (Isola Tiberina)

A charming sliver of land in the middle of the Tiber, the island is steeped in legend and connected to both health and healing, home to one of the oldest hospitals in Rome.

Trastevere

Cross the river into Trastevere, a vibrant and authentic Roman neighborhood. Its cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and local life offer a taste of the real Rome — lively, warm, and timeless.

Pantheon

Marvel at this architectural wonder, with its immense dome and oculus still inspiring awe after nearly 2,000 years. Once a temple to all gods, it is now a church and a resting place for Italian kings and Raphael.

Piazza Navona

A baroque masterpiece built over a Roman stadium, Piazza Navona bustles with life, street artists, fountains, and cafés. It’s the perfect place to pause and soak up Rome’s romantic spirit.

Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna)

Climb the graceful steps leading to the Trinità dei Monti church or relax by the Fontana della Barcaccia below. This iconic meeting place blends elegance with a dash of cinematic glamour.

End of the Golf Car Tour

Your private driver picks you up for a relaxing minivan transfer back to the port, in perfect time for your ship’s departure.
