Shore Excursions & Cruise Logistics
From €250 per group
Shore excursions and cruise logistics in Rome
Local guides for cruise groups with one day in Rome, and a plan built around the ship's schedule.
Cruise passengers have one day for Rome, and the ship does not wait. Tell us when the ship arrives and when everyone has to be back on board, and we plan the walk, the meeting point and the pace around that.
Pricing is fixed per group. A two-hour walk starts from €250 for up to 25 people. Larger groups get more guides, and transport can be arranged on request, with a separate quote.
What we handle
A plan built around the ship
Send us the arrival and all-aboard times. We propose a route that fits the day, with the time you need for transfers.
Meeting your group
A guide meets the group at an agreed place, such as the port, assembles the participants and takes it from there.
Groups of any size
One guide leads up to 25 people. For larger groups we bring in more guides, and several tour leaders can work together.
English and Spanish
Tours run in English or Spanish. Other languages are possible on request, depending on which guides are free.
Routes for a day in Rome
Each route can be shortened or extended to fit the time you have.
What to put in your request The ship and the date, arrival and all-aboard times, the number of passengers, the language and where the group should be met.
One price for the whole group
A two-hour walking tour starts from €250 for up to 25 people. You pay for the tour, not for each person.
Longer tours, Colosseum visits and special routes are priced separately. We quote the exact price after you send a request.

While I have visited St Peters Basilica before, Iris helped join the dots and provided more context of how the church was built. Iris had wonderful stories about the statues, the Gregorian calendar and the importance of the religious relationship within Rome and the broader European community. What a wonderful tour. Thank you.
Our guide was very passionate about the stories he was telling and was very engaging with the group. The tour was better than expected and great value. I can't remember our tour guides name unfortunately but he was great and had lots of interesting stories to share. Highly recommend this tour.
Max is an excellent story teller. The dark stories and curiosities makes a perfect complement to the traditional daytime history guide tours. Very recommended
