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.

We chose to do the tour in Spanish (the only option available on the day we were free). Since we speak Portuguese, we thought we would be able to follow the stories at least to some extent, but unfortunately, it was harder than we expected. Because of that, we left the group early, before the tour was finished. We want to make it clear that this was entirely our own issue, the guide was always very professional, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable. We really liked her, and the only reason we left was because we couldn’t understand enough to make it worthwhile to stay.
Our first time trying a free walking tour and was excellent and better than expected. Max was informative, enthusiastic and entertaining. Highly recommend.
The tour was great, it is a really good idea to see the sites of Rome in the evening, it much less crowdy then. Max was a wonderful guide, very professional and the tour was well organised and clear. I can fully recommend it :)
