Additional info

  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Air-conditioned, fully insured and licensed legal vehicle with professional English-speaking Driver
  • Pickup Cruise Port: Your Driver will be waiting for you right outside the ship, holding a sign with your name on to be easily recognized
  • In Rome, Vans are much better than buses. Vans carry up to 8 passengers, while buses carry 9 to 50. Buses are not allowed in most historic areas, so they can only drop you off at designated points. This means Buses have very limited authorized pickup and drop-off areas, so Bus tours often require walking 4–6 miles during the day. With larger groups, there is also more waiting—for people at attractions, restrooms, and snack stops. You’ll have less personal interaction with your driver and guide, and fewer opportunities to ask questions, since their attention is shared among many passengers.
  • Vans and drivers are fully at your disposal throughout the tour, with access closer to attractions than buses allow—so you’ll walk less and see more!
  • For groups over 8 passengers, please place multiple bookings. We will provide multiple Vans, based on availability and local regulations. All vehicles will travel together with the same stops, and guests may switch between vehicles at any time.
