IT’S JUST A ONE-DAY TOUR… WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
Stop falling for these mistakes when visiting Rome from Civitavecchia
When planning your dream trip to Rome, it’s easy to think you can simply go the DIY route or book the first tour that catches your eye. The truth?
That approach can quickly turn your perfect Roman holiday into a logistical nightmare…
Here’s what you need to know to avoid frustration and disappointment:
Public transport is unreliable
Trains and coaches are often delayed or canceled or on strike, meaning you could waste hours waiting for the next connection. Time is precious, and waiting shouldn’t be part of the adventure you dreamed of.
Expensive taxis to/from Rome
Think taxis are a quick fix? Brace yourself! A one-way ride from Civitavecchia to Rome could set you back a jaw-dropping €200 per person. Imagine starting your day with half your budget gone just on transport!
Overcrowded Tours
Many tours in Rome pack in 100 to 120 people per guide. Picture yourself in the sweltering heat, pushing through crowds, straining to hear or see anything. That’s not an exclusive or memorable experience… it’s chaos!
Hidden costs are on their way
Many budget tours or DIY solutions come with surprise expenses: entry fees, transport surcharges, and overpriced meals. Before you know it, your “affordable” day in Rome becomes a financial headache.
Unqualified guides
It’s common to encounter guides with zero expertise, offering cheap tours that amount to nothing more than wandering aimlessly for a couple of hours. Meaning… you’re wasting precious time in Rome with someone who just doesn’t care about your experience!
Stressful logistics and places of interest
Rome is a vast city. Without a meticulously planned itinerary, it’s extremely easy to get lost, waste time, or miss out on iconic landmarks. Why spend time in an overcrowded spot when you can take the most breathtaking view from a hidden angle?

Dimitri was the most amazing friendly knowledgeable travel guide I have ever had on any Excursion.
Dimitri was a great tour guide! competitive pricing, very knowledgeable & kept us moving. Would highly recommend a private tour.
Amazing tour guide, so many interesting facts and could answer every question we had! Friendly, funny and informative. Thank you!!
Our tour of Rome with Dimitri was AMAZING!! He was super knowledgeable and also accommodating as we were traveling with my dad who is 80. We saw everything on our list and learned so much. Would definitely do it again! Thank you!
Dimitri gave us a fantastic tour of Rome! His deep knowledge of the city’s history made everything come alive, and we learned so much along the way. He organized everything seamlessly for our group of 13, including comfortable round-trip transportation from the civitacecchia port. Highly recommend!
Great tour guide! Detail oriented, knowledgeable, kid friendly, patient. Encourage you to take his small tour.
Dimitri was a super friendly guide. He explained everything to us perfectly and was open to any questions. Definitely full marks from us!
Dimitri is the best tour guy ever.. we have the most amazing tour.. 100% for this man..
Excellent tour guide. Went above and beyond his call of duty. Great personality.
We took a bus for 17 people to go to Rome from Civitavecchia, and everything was perfect. The bus was very new and comfortable. The driver, Mauro, was very friendly and professional. Dimitri from the travel agency was incredibly helpful. I recommend it.
Dimitri was a fantastic guide. He has a wealth of knowledge whilst also providing a fun and humerous experience. Seeing such amazing places alone is great but to have the added insight really amplifies the experience. Definitely recommend
We were a group of 4 and had a tour of the coliseum with Dimitri as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, informative, patient, and witty with a great sense of humor. He answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He was extremely helpful and called to get us dinner reservation at a restaurant that had been recommended to us. He also proved to be an excellent photographer. We learned a lot from him and will come back for a visit when he expands his territory to the Vatican 😂😂😂 It was a pleasure to tour with him. We recommend him unreservedly.
Dima went ABOVE and beyond to help find a (phenomenal!) same-day tour for us when ours was cancelled last minute and then scheduled an incredible driver from our hotel to cruise ship. He did all of this between and after tours & I’m so grateful to have met him! His assistance was perfectly timed and I’ve rarely been so impressed by someone’s assistance & I cannot recommend him & his services enough!
Amazing tour guide, super funny but still educational. Went for just the right amount of time and managed to avoid the big crowds!!
We had a wonderful day in Rome. Dimitri gave us a very impressive tour of Rome's sights and told us a lot about their history. It was a great tour. We would gladly do it again anytime.
This tour to the Colosseum with Dimitri Peruzzi was the best tour we have done whilst in Europe. He was engaging, informative, and very funny. We shared lots of laughs. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. Peter and Deirdre Maclachlan.
We had an incredible experience with Dimitri as our tour guide in Civitavecchia! He was exceptionally friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable trip. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he provided us with fascinating insights and historical facts. Dimitri was always willing to help, whether it was answering our questions or taking photos for us. Highly recommend!
Dimitri is the best tour guide you could ask for in Civitavecchia! His friendliness and warm demeanor made our trip so enjoyable. He was always ready to assist with anything we needed and provided excellent service from start to finish. Dimitri’s knowledge of the city and its history is vast, and he made sure we left with wonderful memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area! Olga Estefania
We arrived on Cruise to Civitavecchia on May 2024. We recently had an unforgettable experience with our private tour guide (Dimitri) who picked us up in Civitavecchia and took us on an incredible journey through Vatican City and Rome. From start to finish, the tour was exceptional. Our guide was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the history and culture of Rome was evident in every story he shared and every site he took us to. He made the rich history of Vatican City and Rome come alive, providing fascinating insights and anecdotes that we would never have discovered on our own. The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to see all the major landmarks and hidden gems without feeling rushed. Our guide was attentive to our needs, ensuring we were comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. His friendly demeanor and willingness to answer all our questions made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was his ability to navigate through the bustling city with ease, ensuring we maximized our time at each location. We truly appreciated the personal touch he added to the tour, making it a unique and memorable experience for us. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking to explore Vatican City and Rome. It was an exceptional day that exceeded our expectations, thanks to our fantastic guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
He is a great tour guide. He took us to 21places in one day. He took great time to explain everything in detail. This tour is a must for the discerning traveler!!!
This was a great tour, firstly because Rome is an absolute jewel of a city and the Colosseum and the Roman Forum are breath taking and secondly because of our guide, Dimitri, who was absolutely hillarious. This made the tour not only very informative but also joyful. If possible, we would book all of our tours in Rome with him :)
Dimitri was awesome ! Thank you very much for a great experience
Awesome tour guide, he really is funny and makes the trip immersive and intriguing. Dimitri is and outstanding guide with an immense understanding of the history and culture of the Colloseum and more. Very much appreciated, and I hope that who ever books with him, gets that same experience.
An amazing tour by Dimitri, he was friendly and knowledgeable of Roman history. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend a guided tour.
How welcoming he was to us he could have just cancelled it since there weren’t enough people to do a group tour but he showed us the city making us laugh and enjoy the history and the food of this place he was a great host
We had 4 hours to do a quick tour of Rome and it was excellent. We visited the main sites and we really enjoyed all the knowledge and history of that was explained to us. Would highly recommend booking with him. :)

Why choose this tour instead of a regular transfer?
Most cruise passengers are picked up by a driver who is not a tour guide. In many cases, the driver doesn’t speak English well, and guests are simply dropped off at different locations with minimal explanation.
The experience is impersonal, confusing, and you often end up seeing Rome without truly understanding what you’re looking at.
With this tour, it's completely different.
I am your driver and your licensed tour guide — the same person, all day.
I speak fluent English and German, I stay with you throughout the entire experience, and I explain everything you see, both from the car and during the walking tour.
This means no miscommunication, no guessing, no stress.
Just a smooth, enjoyable, fully guided experience designed especially for cruise passengers.
Why this tour is the perfect choice for you?
When you visit Rome, you’re stepping into a city like no other.
This isn’t just another destination; it’s the destination, and you deserve to experience it the right way.
You don’t want to spend your precious day wandering aimlessly, glued to your phone as you scroll through maps or stress over bus schedules.
You don’t want to miss a thing, from the iconic landmarks to the hidden gems only a local can show you.
And let’s be honest: you want this experience to be as exclusive and special as the city itself.
Whether you’re traveling with family or close friends, you’re looking for a tour that’s private, all-inclusive, and thoughtfully curated.
A guided tour that doesn’t break the bank but still delivers an unforgettable, stress-free Roman adventure.
That’s exactly what we offer!
“The goal is simple: to give you an extraordinary experience
in Rome that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.”
