Shore Excursions Classical Rome review
October 24, 2023
We had a very energetic and knowledgeable guide for our full day excursion in Rome. Hit most of the highlights that we wanted to see. He kept the group on track so that we could head back to our ship on time. We would recommend this excursion. One tip - make sure you are ready to do a lot of walking which they do make you aware of ahead of time.

Andre did a great job!
October 08, 2023
Originally we were simply going to do the Panoramic Tour, but at the last minute changed our minds and the Classical Rome instead. And we saw and learned a lot more than if we would’ve done the Panoramic tour. Prepare to walk your sandals off, but you get to see parts of the city you wouldn’t easily see otherwise. Andre was a great host, and even at the end of the day when everyone was exhausted, he still maintained his lively attitude. Would do again!

Excellent Rome In A Day!
July 16, 2023
What all could be seen in a short time was included and the guide was super informative. Marie lisa? anyways, she made sure that we made it back on time to be on the cruise. and it was an amazing experience to see the Colosseum, St.Peter's Basilica square, Trevi fountain and such in person! Highly recommend. Also, they wore clear uniforms to identify at the pick up point on disembarking the cruise.

Rome in a Day
June 29, 2023
This tour was great to see a little of everything in Rome. The excursion group is very easy to find once after taking the shuttle. The tour did start a little late. They were still selling the same trip in order to fill up the bus. We started at the Vatican and there was no chance to buy any ticket to skip the line. The lines were HUGE! We dressed appropriately for church entry and it was hot! The bus was nice with big windows with ac, selling cheap cold water and a bathroom which cost one euro to use. We saw so much walking through the streets at a very quick pace. The tour guide was very knowledgeable speaking in Spanish and then English. He sometimes started to mumble a little. He took us to a wonderful restaurant with amazing food. They got us in and out quickly. I was overwhelmed at all of the sites and beautiful structures. I can’t wait to go back. We were back to port in a good amount of time. Some other ships left earlier and were a little rushed to get back.

November 27, 2019
We had a great guide and saw so much in the little time we had. I wish they made some time to eat a meal, we had about 10-15 minutes to use the restroom and get food. This was not ideal but it was still a great tour and I would recommend it to anyone who has a short time in Rome

Fun day seeing all of the highlights of Rome!
August 26, 2019
We were VERY pleased with this tour! Everything went very smoothly. We had no trouble finding the tour operator at the cruise terminal and they did a terrific job keeping us on time all day and getting us back to the ship. The tour guide was extremely informative and we were able to see all of the sights on our ‘must see’ list for Rome. Note that there is a LOT of walking on the tour and it is pretty fast paced. My Apple Watch recorded that we walked 8 miles on this tour! Also, if you are hoping to be able to browse stores and shop at your leisure, this is not the tour for you. It is designed to see as much as possible in a very short time frame (which is exactly what we wanted!) I loved the fact that the tour included a skip the line entry at Saint Peter’s Basilica. Would highly recommend this store to anyone!

Chris our guide was excellent. The radio headsets were such a bonus, makes it much more enjoyable because you can hear everything.

The weather was awful. A constant hard rain all day long. With Rome being extra crowded with 9 cruise ships in port, we were dodging umbrellas coming at us in all directions, but our tour guide did a great job of finding some space and getting us to see all the attractions. She made the day as pleasurable as was possible under these conditions.

Informative Tour Guide
November 12, 2018
Overall, this tour was a decent value. One downside is we were not aware of an additional cost of 20 euros pp for the skip-the-line tour of the Vatican. Our tour was delayed an hour due to wind and port traffic keeping us at sea. We were worried that our tour group would be gone - but they were waiting for us at the planned location. The RT coach ride was comfortable and somewhat scenic. We met our tour guide, Neil, at the Vatican. Throughout the day, he added an excellent historical perspective to our tour. The historic side of the city did not disappoint. We had ample time to tour the outside the Colosseum. We made our way from there to the Trevi Fountain, having enough time to grab a slice of pizza and drink after taking some pictures. Then we were on to the Pantheon, where we enjoyed skip-the-line inside access. The amount of walking was slightly above the moderate level. There were several seniors that were no worse for the wear after the experience.

October 01, 2018
This was a really good overall tour of Rome if you only have one day. The description for the tour is a little vague and there were a few on our tour that were VERY upset that the Sistine Chapel was not part of our tour. Our guide was very personable, our coach was very nice, and it ran as smoothly as you could hope with a full bus of people. Our guide tried really hard to get to everyone, but my one complaint was that the group was a little too big.

We had no trouble meeting at the assigned place and catching our bus to "The Eternal City."

Absolutely great narration by our tour guide. Word to the wise folks, there is still a lot of walking here so if you have trouble with a flight of stairs, this is probably not the tour for you!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We could not have covered the city like this on our own. The order of the tour was different than the write up; we went to the Vatican first. I wish we had less time at the Vatican and more time at the coliseum. Lunch on our own was at the Trevi fountain where it was very crowded and busy. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. This was the first time we did not book the excursion through the cruise line and I am so glad we took the chance.

Excellent Guide. Experienced Tour Operator
July 30, 2018
We booked excursions for all ports of call with various tour operators and the one to Rome with Shore Excursions was among the best. They were very organized from beginning to end, the bus was comfortable and cool, our tour guide, Andrea was knowledgeable and professional and so was her assistant, Jeanny, we hit all the highlights promised in the description and made it back to the cruise at just the right time, not too early but not a last-minute mad dash either. Rome was extremely hot and crowded when we visited but that's the nature of the place and time of year which you would experience with whoever you choose to tour with. I highly recommend the Shore Excursions Group.

We had a good time during the tour. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of attractions in one day. It was a little bit rushed due to time constraints. I guess we just need to come back to experience more of Rome. We were in a cruise so we only had one day for this. All in all, it was a good tour. To those who are planning to book this tour, the itinerary could change. Like for ours, instead of doing Vatican last as what was written in the website, it was our first destination. Also, read dress code for entering churches. I saw people blocked from entering St. Peter's Basilica. Another thing, this tour entails a lot of walking. Sturdy comfortable walking shoes will be a necessity. Your feet will thank you afterwards.

Our Classical Rome guide was very good, and our time in the city was just about right. We were not able to go into St. Peter's Basillica as it was Sunday, but had the added bonus of hearing the Pope address and bless the public from the residential building at noon. We were given just the right amount of time on our own, then back on the bus for more historical viewing. This excursion was above average.

Lunch was not provided but time was allowed to grab a bite to eat. I would recommend this tour.

This was by far the best tour that was taken on our 11 night Mediterranean cruise. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and the sites. Although this is really a place that you need to fly to and stay for a week or longer to check out everything this tour covered a lot of ground and was amazing was not really that rushed. We spend a good bit of time in Vatican City and we even had time to visit the Collesum as we were more interested in that then the place that the guide was showing we just asked if we could go there she told us the time the bus was leaving and we had to be back by that time. Also the walk through the town where you will find the Trevi fountain was awesome felt like a local. I would say if you wanted to save money and see all you can in the short alloted time you are there then this is the one for you!

He took us to a few specific must see places in Rome, gave us a very relevant information and did not overwhelm us with too much information as it could often happen in big city like Rome. We visited the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Piazza Navona, among the places that stood out the most, and had lunch at a local delicious pizzeria next to the Trevi Fountain. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for those people who visit Rome for the first time. It is a great way to get the main highlights of the city!

On this cruise, we visited Spain, Italy, and France. I can honestly say that this excursion was the most exciting. We saw the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain, and the Vatican in one day. We did do a lot of walking (especially from the Trevi Fountain to Vatican City) but it was well worth it. On our way to Vatican City, we went by many street performers but the most mesmerizing was the guy who levitated at least 3 feet while sitting. I rarely want to do one excursion twice but I would do this one again.

Going to Rome was a dream come true. There is no way to see everything anyone would want to see in one day, but this tour did a great job helping us experience the highlights. We saw the outside of the Colliseum, Trevi Fountain, outside of Pantheon, lots of other beautiful buildings, and a chance to see some of the Vatican. We were allowed to pay $20 on the bus to buy a "Skip the Line" pass that allowed us to enter the Vatican Chapel which was well worth paying on this day packed with beautiful sites. The bus staff was very friendly and our guide was knowledgeable and wonderful. Of course there is a lot of walking required. For a one day excursion of Rome I don't know how it could be much better. We considered the other tour that was more expensive and allowed us to go inside the Colliseum, but we were happy with his one as we wanted more time to experience all we could.

The bus ride was long and the crowds in Rome were tremendous, but the tour itself was great for an overview of this important city. Unfortunately we had a person with a cane and obvious walking issues on the tour even though the tour description should have warned her off before she signed up. We therefore had lost time waiting for her constantly to the point where she and her companion finally took a taxi back to the ship. We got to many "must see" sites, but the crowds were so bad. That's not the tour fault. Our guide was excellent.

One thing I would like to remind everyone is : since the port Civitavecchia is very far from Roma, the tour guide does not go back with the bus to the port. So please do not forget to tip your tour guide when he says 'bye-bye' in Roma, especially if he has done such an excellent job like Niels did.

When we arrived at the departure point, the other members of the group were from a ship that didn't sail until 6:30. Since our ship was leaving at 5:30, we would cut the tour short for the everyone else. We elected to give up the tour as Rome needs a week of its own anyway. We will return. Once home, the tour guide had already notified the company and they quickly refunded us for the tour--no problem--hence the 5-Stars. We used Shore Excursions for multiple ports-of-call and highly recommend them to one and all...
