Guidekin's take

Rome on the way to the ship: a private tour with an English speaking driver from your hotel or the airport, stops customised to your schedule and a drop at the Civitavecchia port at the end with bags on board, rated 4.91 across 33 reviews.

Driver, vehicle, pickup and fees are included at €340 per person; lunch, tips and Colosseum tickets are not.

In our comparison: #242 of 360 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
