★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 9 hours (approx.)

Start at Civitavecchia Port with an English-speaking chauffeur, then visit Rome’s Forum viewpoint, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, St. Peter’s Square, and St. Paul Outside the Walls. This is private transport, not a guided walking tour, with time to shape the day around your interests.

“Our driver acted as an unofficial tour guide. He was great. He talked about the areas we were driving through and he had some audio clips cued up for us to listen to for a few spots. He was very responsive as our plans changed slightly throughout the day. He took us to a great spot for lunch. So, so glad we ended up with our driver.”
