Our Montepulciano and Pienza tour is at the top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome, and one of the most frequently booked tours to Tuscany.

What’s not to love about this tour that combines picturesque Tuscan landscapes and charming medieval towns with exquisite local wines and delicious local Tuscan food.

Montepulciano and Pienza Tour – video by Stefano Rome Tours

Montepulciano is an ancient town whose origins go back to the Etruscan civilization that ruled Tuscany for centuries before Rome expanded over the Italian peninsula. As most medieval (and ancient) towns, Montepulciano was built on the ridge of Monte Poliziano (from where it got its name). From its high position, it overlooks the captivating Val di Chiana (Valley of Chiana) and Val d’Orcia: two of Tuscany’s most enchanting valleys.

Famous for its red Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, visitors have ample opportunities to enjoy wine tasting at local enoteche (wine shops) and visit their wine cellars, as well as stroll the pedestrian-friendly medieval streets lined with imposing palaces that house local artisan shops, gastronomic boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

Pienza is another charming hilltop town with an advantageous view of the sprawling Valley of Orcia that can be admired from the parameters of the village. Pienza is a fine example of the Renaissance Humanist concept of urban design and was instrumental in the town’s revival and reconstruction transforming it from a simple medieval town named Corsignano into an Italian Renaissance utopia that inspired cities across Italy and Europe.

The town was renamed Pienza in honor of its homegrown Pope Pius II who initiated the transformative works. The historic center of Pienza is also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Valley of Paradise

We recently created a NEW Tuscany Tour from Rome titled Valley of Paradise. We also wrote a more detailed blog about Valley of Paradise detailing why we chose to give it that name. We also posted many photos of Tuscany’s valley of paradise, we recommend that you take a moment to read it.

Val d’Orcia is one of the most photographed and filmed valleys in Tuscany, having also played the role of the “Elysian Fields” (an ancient pagan expression for Paradise) in the blockbuster film The Gladiator when the main character, Maximus, famously glided his hand through the ripe golden wheat field. Elysian Fields are, especially, fields of paradise. Val d’Orcia is also rightfully listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Landscape. You can learn more about Val d’Orcia on our blog.

Valley of Paradise – Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome with RomeCabs

This Valley of Paradise Tour in Tuscany focuses on the spellbinding Val d’Orcia (Valley of Orcia) and three delightful towns and villages that are located in the heart of this remarkable valley: Pienza, Montichiello, and Montalcino.

Continuing from our above description of Pienza…..

Pienza is also among the most romantic villages in Tuscany, ideal for a stroll along its narrow pedestrian lanes lined with pretty stone buildings that add charm to the village. What adds to the romantic charm of Pienza are its narrow lanes with delightful names such as Via del Amore and Via del Bacio (Love Street and Kiss Street ), that will lead you to the edge of the village where you will behold some of the most stunning views of Val d’Orcia.

You can also see from here the windy country road lined with characteristic cypress trees that were featured in the Elysian Fields segment of The Gladiator.

Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome to Pienza — PIENZA – Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome limousine tours

Further along the picturesque windy roads surrounded by the splendor of Valley of Orcia, you will arrive in Montichiello. The village is as charming as its name. Originally an ancient fortified hamlet that seems to rise from the hill it was built on, Montichiello will surprise you with its pretty buildings behind the ancient city walls, and spacious streets and squares that are unlike narrow spaces that define most medieval villages.

Possibly the most rewarding experience you can have in Montichiello is having a seat on one of the benches on the village terrace that seem to offer a front-seat view of the photo-perfect scenery with a glimpse of Pienza majestically dominating the valley in the distance.

Montichiello Top 5 Tuscany Tours from Rome limousine Tours — MONTICHIELLO – Valley of Paradise Tour, views of Val d’Orcia

Not far away, is Montalcino, one of the most treasured hilltop towns in Tuscany. If you are wondering why all these ancient towns were built on top of hills, the answer is a practical one: in ancient times dwelling on hilltops offered protection from enemies as well as the ability to see them from a distance prevening surprising attacks and affording locals some time to prepare a defense.

Nowadays, these once strategic locations offer us splendid panoramas of the idyllic landscapes of Tuscany.

Montalcino is well regarded for its local Brunello di Montalcino, one of the finest wines in Italy that are produced from the local Sangiovese grape grown in vineyards all around Montalcino.

This pretty town attracts visitors not only for its fine wine but also for its historic, artistic, and architectural treasures. The hilltop town is crowned by an imposing fortress that was built when Montalcino came under the influence of Siena during the 1300s.

Cortona and Arezzo

This other popular Tuscany Tour from Rome was inspired by the two towns featured in two wildly popular films “Under the Tuscan Sun” which features Cortona and “Life is Beautiful” which features Arezzo. Arezzo is also the hometown of the award-winning actor in the movie Roberto Benigni.

Over the many centuries, Arezzo grew and prospered to become one of Tuscany’s leading cities endowed with incredible monuments, museums, churches, and squares. Relish Arezzo’s beautiful Piazza Grande, the graceful medieval square surrounded by an eclectic assortment of elegant Medieval and Renaissance towers and palaces (palazzi).

Don’t miss the opportunity to stroll through Arezzo and discover the many charms this city possesses.

Cortona is so famous in its own right that it doesn’t need an introduction. As with Arezzo, Cortona is also an ancient town whose history exceeds its Medieval buildings and remnants of Etruscan walls. Legends of ancient events connected to Cortona include Noah’s Flood, the story of Troy, and parables of Ulysses and Pythagoras.

Traditions and mysteries aside, historical documents reveal Cortona as a once-formidable Etruscan capital, whose remnants are still visible in its 3,000-year-old Etruscan walls.

10 Things You Didn’t Think of when booking Civitavecchia transfers

5 Jan

Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for private Civitavecchia Transfers, Shore Excursions from Civitavecchi a, and other Italy top cruise ports.

We have provided transfers from Rome’s cruise port in Civitavecchia for more than 18 years and counting, serving tens of thousands of cruisers arriving in Italy either pre-cruise, post-cruise, or just for the day.

We compiled a list of 10 things you didn’t think of when booking Civitavecchia transfers based on our extensive experience providing port transfers, and from questions we’ve received from our cruising clients over the years.

Don’t worry, if you book your Civitavecchia Transfer with RomeCabs and your reservation requires additional attention our expert staff will inform you in advance so your Civitavecchia Transfers will be perfect. However, knowing these important things in advance simplifies your booking process, saves you time, and is also valuable when booking port transfers in other Italian cities.

10 Things You Didn’t Think of when booking Civitavecchia transfers

1. TRANSFER VEHICLE SIZES

Most vehicles for Rome Civitavecchia Port Transfers range from sedans, SUVs, and most common minivans of up to 8 passengers. Vehicles are generally provided based on the number of persons in your party and your total amount of luggage.

If you are traveling with family members or a group larger than 8 people, you will require 2 vehicles (or more vehicles depending on your group size).

Why can we only book a minivan of up to 8 passengers for Civitavecchia Transfers?

Private Driver vehicles are a maximum of 8 passengers because in Italy this is the largest size vehicle that can access the Civitavecchia Cruise Port and Rome’s city center. Vehicles larger than 8 passengers fall under the “bus” category and are restricted from accessing the cruise port and city centers.

Therefore, to be able to provide our clients with Door-to-Door Service and Pick Up / Drop Off at the pier next to your cruise ship, all our vehicles for transfers and tours are a maximum of 8 passengers.

2. TRAVELING WITH A LOT OF LUGGAGE?

Private Civitavecchia Transfers in deluxe vehicles — *Traveling with a lot of luggage?*

Sedans are usually priced for 1-3 passengers and can accommodate approximately up to 2 standard check-in suitcases and up to 2-3 small carry-on in total. If you are a party of 1-3 persons, consider in advance if your luggage would fit in a standard sedan trunk space.

If you are a party of 1 to 3 passengers with extra luggage that would not fit in a sedan trunk space, make sure you inform the company so you will be upgraded to a minivan (and priced accordingly) so you and your luggage can be safely and comfortably accommodated.

You may also simply book for 4 passengers to be automatically provided a minivan with ample space for your luggage and lots of legroom for you!

A large minivan for 7-8 passengers can accommodate up to 7 standard check-in suitcases and up to 7 small carryons in total.

If you are a group of up to 8 persons with a lot of luggage that exceeds the maximum luggage capacity, you may require 2 vehicles to accommodate all passengers and their luggage safely.

If you are not sure your extra luggage will fit in 1 vehicle or may require a 2nd vehicle, please contact your transfer provider with the details of your luggage count and the number of passengers for more helpful assistance.

3. CIVITAVECCHIA PORT MEETING POINT

Civitavecchia Transfers Meeting Point on the pier — *Meeting Point at Civitavecchia for Port Transfers to Rome*

When you book a transfer from Civitavecchia to Rome or from Civitavecchia to Rome Airport (Fiumicino Airport), being able to easily meet your driver at the port is very important.

When you book our private Civitavecchia port transfers, your personal driver will meet you right on the pier next to your ship. You do NOT have to take any bus shuttles to exit the cruise port.

All drivers are required to stand in a designated area for Drivers (look for or ask for the Limo Driver area) and wait for their clients to disembark.

Civitavecchia Transfers Private Driver Service — *Private Driver Service at Civitavecchia (Civitavecchia Private Transfers)*

You can easily spot your driver holding a Sign with your name on the reservation. Vehicles are parked nearby following the Port Authority regulations.

Be sure to retain the Contact Phone Number of your transfer company in case of an emergency such as disembarking early, delays in disembarkation, or if you can’t spot your driver. Our phone number is always included in your Reservation Confirmation Email, be sure to keep it handy in case you require assistance.

4. HOW FAR IS CIVITAVECCHIA FROM ROME / FIUMICINO AIRPORT?

Rome Transfers to Civitavecchia Cruise Port with RomeCabs — Civitavecchia Cruise Port

From CIVITAVECCHIA TO ROME TRANSFERS is approximately 90 minutes (1.5 hours) pending local traffic and road conditions

From CIVITAVECCHIA TO ROME AIRPORT (FIUMICINO AIRPORT) is approximately 60 minutes (1 hour) pending local traffic and road conditions

Please book your Civitavecchia transfer with this estimated travel time in mind, and allow some extra leeway in case you encounter unforeseen traffic delays along the way.

5. HOTEL CHOICES FOR DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE

Rome Civitavecchia Transfers — *Door to Door Service with Stefano’s RomeCabs*

If you will be staying in Rome pre-cruise or Post Cruise and require a Port Transfer between your Rome Hotel and Civitavecchia Port, please keep in mind when booking your hotel, B&B, or Apartment that many small streets and alleys in the historic center of Rome may be restricted to traffic or vehicle size, and your driver may not be able to stop in front of your accommodation.

In case your accommodation is located on a street or square with traffic restrictions, for hotel pickups (Rome to Civitavecchia Port Transfer) your driver will stop and park the vehicle as close as lawfully possible, and meet you at the front door of your accommodation address (or hotel lobby) on foot and accompany you with your luggage back to your parked vehicle.

Rome tours Civitavecchia Transfers — *Rome city transfers to Civitavecchia*

For hotel arrivals (Civitavecchia to Rome transfer), your driver will park as close to your accommodation as lawfully possible, and accompany you and your luggage on foot to the front door of your accommodation address.

Rome has many wonderful hotels and apartments on historical streets and squares and charming alleys, however, they were built centuries ago before vehicles were invented. There are also many important embassies throughout the historic center with very strict security restrictions that do not permit vehicles to park or be left unattended in their vicinity. To keep Rome safe, traffic laws are many and drivers must obey them.

If you require door-to-door service, when selecting your accommodation, please check with your hotel or apartment host before booking to ensure that:

The Rome Hotel or Apartment address is located on a street or square without traffic restrictions
The Rome Hotel or appartment is on a street wide enough to accommodate large minivans
Vehicles can stop to load/unload passengers in front of the Hotel / Accommodation
Ensure your Hotel has porters or luggage assistants (or apartment renting hosts can help guests with luggage) in case you require additional luggage assistance than the driver can provide, such as if lawful parking is not close enough to your accommodation
If you are traveling with extra luggage, check with your hotel/apartment building if it has flights of stairs without elevators as this may be difficult with extra luggage.

6. CRUISING WITH CHILDREN?

Cruising with Children in Italy — *Traveling with Children in Italy*

In Italy children 8 years and younger must be secured in age-appropriate safety seats. Children cannot be seated in other passengers’ laps inside moving vehicles.

If you are traveling with young children, please be sure to mention this important information when booking a transfer and request an age-appropriate Child Safety Car Seat (including the Age and Weight of the child) if you will not be traveling with one.

LIVING NATIVITIES

One of the many unique Italian Christmas traditions are the Living Nativities, where entire towns (or special places) are transformed into a historical setting that takes you back in time reenacting either Biblical times, or Medieval Times.

In the video below, the town of Canale Monterano transforms the evocative Medieval ghost town of Monterano into a Medieval wonderland complete with the Nativity – played by real human Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus (usually they are an actual family, each year a different family with a newborn is chosen to represent Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus).

Regardless of where in Italy you plan to travel during the Christmas holiday, you will be delighted with heart warming Christmas traditions fun for families and travelers of all ages.

Thank you very much for reading our travel blog. We wish you and yours Buon Natale!

10 Common Mistakes that Ruin your Summer Trip to Italy

Do not bring with you any sharp objects like pocket knives and scissors, large bags or backpacks when visiting the Colosseum and Vatican as you will need to clear security and pass through metal detector just like at the airport.

TOP 7 ROME AND ITALY TRAVEL TIPS

Highly recommended for your Vatican Museums visit is a private tour guide for a 2 hour informative private tour of the highlights of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica. ONLY visitors with tour guides can access the Basilica through the shortcut entrance from the Sistine Chapel. Otherwise, DIY visitors will need to exit the museums, and access the Basilica through the St Peter’s Square – unfortunately there may also be a long security line depending on how many visitors wish to visit the Basilica at the same time as you.

Be sure to dress appropriately when visiting the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s basilica due to modesty dress code (shoulders and knees always covered) being enforced. Be sure to read the article below to avoid being turned away if you are not dressed appropriately.

DAY TRIPS FROM CIVITAVECCHIA TO THE COUNTRYSIDE

.
.

If you have already visited Rome, or prefer a more relaxing day in the countryside exploring ancient Etruscan, Medieval and Renaissance places.

Below are two of the most popular countryside tours from Civitavecchia.

COUNTRYSIDE SPLENDOR TOUR

Day Trips from Civitavecchia I Rome, Countryside – COUNTRYSIDE SPLENDOR TOUR – RomeCabs

.
.

On this popular countryside tour, your morning will begin with a journey to Bracciano Lake that will take you to the medieval lakeside town by the same name: Bracciano.

Bracciano is dominated by the imposing Renaissance era Orsini-Odescalchi Castle (most commonly known as Bracciano Castle).

You have the opportunity to visit the castle on your own, and see the many splendid rooms that are furnished and decorated with the original Renaissance era furniture, paintings, wall frescoes, and ornate ceilings. You will walk through private apartment rooms that centuries ago were occupied by kings, queens, lords, ladies, and knights… transporting you to far away times of folklore and fairy tales.

.
.

After visiting the outdoor atrium and Medieval style castle kitchen, be sure to climb up the castle walls and walk along the ramparts for a glorious view of the pristine lake and the rustic countryside around you.

Lunch in the medieval clifftop village of Ceri is not to be missed! This former Medieval fortress with just one narrow street to reach the top of the village appears as though time stood still.

Although tiny, this village is huge popular for the excellent local cuisine prepared by the local family owned restaurants that use fresh local and in season ingredients, and secret recipes passed down from generation to generation. Grandma still overlooks the kitchen to make sure that all is prepared with perfection and tradition.

After lunch you will journey further back in time to the ancient Etruscan civilization with a visit to the Banditaccia Etruscan Necropolis in Cerveteri to explore dozens of the hundreds of stone carved mound and cube tombs from that date as far back as around 700-300 BC.

7 Amazing Places to visit on your Etruscan Tours

.
.

The more ancient burial sites consisted of stone urns. Over time as the Etruscan civilization evolved, so has their skill at creating more complex tombs that resembled the actual homes of the deceased. These are the only sources of information we have as to what ancient Etruscan tombs looked like.

Although you will not find any tomb treasures on your tomb adventures, you will feel a bit like Indiana Jones.
.

ETRUSCAN MYSTERY TOUR

This unique Day Trip from Civitavecchia is offered by our sister company Stefano Rome Tours takes you on a fantastic journey through the ancient lands of Etruria to places where the Etruscans once thrived and created amazingly beautiful things – such as the vibrant tomb frescoes inside the Monterozzi Etruscan Necropolis in Tarquinia.

Tarquinia was once one of the most prominent ancient Etruscan city states and it gets its name from its ancient Etruscan name of Tarquinii.

There is absolutely nothing else like this in the world. Dozens of tombs dating back to around 5th-4th centuries BC were discovered to contain amazingly beautiful frescoes on the interior walls of the tombs.

Here, you will feel like you’ve come face to face with these ancient mysterious people as you admire tombs of Etruscans feasting and celebrating, dancing, playing music, hunting, playing sports, and more. We have a special opportunity to see how they dressed, how they styled their hair, the furniture and tools they used, and how they went about their daily lives.

Day Trips from Civitavecchia I Rome, Countryside – TARQUINIA ETRUSCAN TOMBS – RomeCabs

Unlike Cerveteri where the tombs were on the surface like little huts and houses to explore, the tombs in Tarquinia are all underground. About a dozen tombs are open for visits at a time in efforts to preserve the delicate ancient frescoes.

The tombs themselves are sealed off and kept in temperature and humidity controlled environment so we have the unique opportunity to admire these ancient masterpieces for a long time. A push button turns on the light on a timer, you may turn on the light repeatedly to enjoy viewing the tombs as long as you wish.

Aside from the frescoes, the tombs are bare. All the sarcophagi and treasures are housed in the town of Tarquinia nearby inside the Tarquinia National Museum

From Tarquinia, you will enjoy a scenic drive to Tuscania.

Not to be confused with Tuscany, Tuscania was also formerly an important Etruscan city with many legends contributing to the origins of its name: one being it was named after Tusco, son of mythological Hercules and Araxes.

Another legend has it Tuscania was founded by Aeneas’ son Ascanius who found 12 puppies there and named the place Tus-Cana – deriving from the word cana which is similar to the Roman word for dog, canis (cane in Italian).

Day Trips from Civitavecchia I Rome, Countryside – TUSCANIA VALLEY

The FREE National Archaeological Museum of Tuscania displays an amazing collection of Etruscan artifacts unearthed in the vicinity.

From the Etruscan maritime trade center, Tuscania later came under the Roman orbit as Rome expanded and conquered the Etruscan city states one by one. During the Middle Ages, Tuscania became one of the first bishopric sees in Italy.

Day Trips from Civitavecchia I Rome, Countryside – Tuscania San Pietro Church – RomeCabs

Must see in Tuscania are the remarkable Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, and the 8th century Church of San Pietro built in Lombard-Romanesque style that dominates the town from the top of the sacred Saint Peter Hill.

Because Etruscans built largely with wood and terracotta, most of their buildings have not survived over time, and they did not leave any books to learn more about this highly mysterious civilization whose alphabet and language have not yet been fully understood.

What to do in Rome pre-Cruise? – RomeCabs

One of the most frequently asked questions cruisers arriving in Rome and departing from Civitavecchia cruise port ask us is, what to do in Rome Pre-Cruise?

We would live the opportunity in this travel blog to offer some suggestions to make the most of your limited time in Rome.

If you focus on 2 main areas such as Ancient Rome and Vatican, you can better enjoy these areas fully without over exerting yourself.

THE MORNING BEFORE YOUR CRUISE

PRE-CRUISE ROME TOUR AND TRANSFER TO CIVITAVECCHIA

If you wish to get the most out of your morning in Rome before heading to your cruise ship, Rome Cabs offer a Rome Pre-Cruise Tour with Transfer to Civitavecchia combination so you have all your sightseeing and transfer needs taken care of together. It’s very simple and convenient with 9 AM pick up from your hotel, 4 hours of sightseeing in Rome, and then off you go to Civitavecchia to begin your cruise! As you will be traveling with your luggage, you don’t have to waste time returning to your hotel to pick up your belongings.

Rome Sea Port – Helpful Tips, Info for Civitavecchia Transfers, Tours

The most popular sites in Rome in the Pre-Cruise tour are the Colosseum (with a visit inside the monument), the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain (don’t forget to throw in your coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure a return visit to Rome!)…and a proper farewell to Rome from the terrace in Piazza Garibaldi on Janiculum hill so you can bid the Eternal City arrivederci!

ROME PRE CRUISE TOUR -What to do in Rome pre-Cruise? – RomeCabs

In case you’ve already seen some of these sites already, don’t worry…with so much to see and do in Rome you’ll run out of time before running out of exciting things to see.

Even if your time in Rome before your cruise is brief, with Rome Cabs’ Pre-Cruise Tour with Transfer you will have the opportunity to squeeze in as much fun in Rome as time allows, all in the comfort of your own private deluxe vehicle and personal English speaking tour driver at your disposal.

How the train ruined the Cruise for thousands of Civitavecchia Cruisers

If you wish to skip Rome and the chaos, you my book a Countryside Pre Cruise Tour instead and visit enchanting Renaissance Bracciano Castle, and enjoy lunch in a Medieval clifftop hamlet where time stood still and the food is legendary.

SELF TOURING ROME BEFORE YOUR CRUISE

You can do some sightseeing on your own in Rome before your departure to Civitavecchia depending on where in Rome you are staying.

If you are staying near the Colosseum, you can visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Most visitors who don’t have all day to devote to sightseeing only need about an hour to visit each site.

If you are staying near the Vatican, you can visit the Vatican on your own in the morning. Usually you can touch on the highlights of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica in 2-3 hours.

Having a private tour guide on this tour really helps enhance your experience….not only are the Vatican Museums a vast labyrinth of halls and galleries, but you don’t want to miss the most important works of art while wandering around where there is least to see. A private tour guide will also take you through the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica so your Vatican experience is complete.

My Rome Guides offer private walking tours to the Vatican as well as Ancient Rome, and they are locally licensed tour guides (be sure that if you book a tour guide in Italy they are professionally licensed and carry a badge)

Always be sure to purchase your tickets to the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum online or by phone in advance to avoid the time wasting long lines.

If you are staying near the famous squares, you can take a stroll to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain or the Spanish Steps.

Rome Sea Port Civitavecchia Transfers – RomeCabs

If you are booked with a private car service company, you don’t want to leave Rome later than 1 PM as it takes about 90 minutes to reach Civitavecchia from Rome by car

POST-CRUISE TOUR from CIVITAVECCHIA

Staying in Rome after your cruise? You can enjoy a post cruise tour starting from your cruise ship and ending at your hotel in Rome.

ROME IN A DAY POST CRUISE TOUR – What to do in Rome pre-Cruise? – RomeCabs

Rome Sea Port of Civitavecchia - Port Transfers with RomeCabs

Buon giorno and welcome to Stefano’s RomeCabs, Rome’s leading company for private Rome Sea Port Civitavecchia Transfers as well as Cruise Port Tours.

In this travel blog we go over the 4 types of Rome Sea Port Civitavecchia Transfers, with tips and advice for each type of transfer for a seamless, efficient, and enjoyable transfer experience.

The 4 types of Rome Sea Port Civitavecchia Transfers are:
.

Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to Rome Sea Port of Civitavecchia
Rome Accommodation to Rome Sea Port of Civitavecchia
Rome Sea Port of Civitavecchia to Rome Accommodation
Rome Sea Port of Civitavecchia to Fiumicino Airport (FCO)

.
.

1 FCO / FIUMICINO AIRPORT TO SEA PORT OF CIVITAVECCHIA

From Fiumicino Airport you have 2 options going to Civitavecchia: Going directly to your cruise ship for same day departure, or going to a Hotel Accommodation in Civitavecchia prior to your cruise departure.
.

* TRAVEL TIME: From Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia travel time is about 1 hour.

Going to Civitavecchia Cruise Port

Follow detailed instructions (and watch the VIDEO) on How to meet Driver at FCO Airport.

If you haven’t arrived at FCO Airport yet, watching the video will help you visually familiarize yourself with the area where your driver will be waiting for you.

Going to Hotel in the City of Civitavecchia

Booking a transfer from FCO Airport to a hotel in Civitavecchia is very easy: just book a regular transfer from FCO to Civitavecchia, and instead of the Drop Off Ship Name, please include your Drop Off Hotel Name and Address in Civitavecchia.

The price is the SAME whether you will be going to the cruise ship or a hotel in the city of Civitavecchia.

.
.

HELPFUL TIPS for Transfers from Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia:

Plan to book an Early Morning Flight Arrival at FCO Airport in order to allow you plenty of extra time in case you experience flight delays, or delays at the airport (in customs or baggage claims).

By booking your flight too close to the time your cruise ship departs, you risk missing your ship if you experience any unforeseen delays.

As there is quite a bit of walking from the baggage claims carousels where you collect your luggage to the Main Waiting Hall where you meet your driver, and then additional few minutes’ walking distance to the Designated Parking Area where your vehicle will be parked (as mandated by Airport Security), be sure to use the Luggage Trolleys available near the baggage carousels.

For travelers with mobility issues, be sure to request in advance via your Airline “Complimentary Wheelchair Assistance” so an airport staff member will meet you with a wheelchair when you deplane, and assist you all the way to the parked vehicle.

How to Be in Control of your SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers

2 Dec

Buon giorno and welcome to RomeCabs Travel Blog!

Sharing Transfers to and from Civitavecchia Cruise Port has become an option for many travelers to share costs. In this travel blog we show you How to be in Control of your Shared Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs.

Unfortunately many generic shuttle services mean unpredictable pick up times, unpredictable wait times, unpredictable number of persons in the vehicle, unpredictable number of stops around Rome hotels or multiple cruise ships….it’s by and large an unpredictable experience.

If you are arriving at the Airport and experience delays in customs or baggage claims (which often happens at Rome’s airport!), your shuttle service may not wait for you – after all, they have other passengers sharing the same vehicle you were supposed to be on that don’t want to wait on you.

Many travelers would like the option of a cost saving shared transfer to and/or from Civitavecchia, but with the benefits of a private service: predictable pick up time, no wait times, knowing in advance how many people will be in the vehicle, and not being crammed in with strangers.

How to Be in Control of your SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA Transfers

Imagine if YOU are in charge of who shares your vehicle.

Imagine if YOU are in charge of the total number of passengers in your vehicle for YOUR personal comfort and space.

Imagine if YOU scheduled the pick up time and knew when to expect your driver.

Imagine if YOU knew your driver’s route in advance.

Privately Shared Civitavecchia Transfers with RomeCabs

All of the above are possible on your next Civitavecchia Transfer with RomeCabs, and it’s EASY!!

.
It’s important also to consider which transfers are best shared and which are best private.

Private transfers are best for Airport Arrivals.

It is difficult to organize a transfer with others to arrive at the airport at the same time (or close). Add in situations like missed connections, flight delays, lost luggage, and you will realize a shared transfer is not the best option for arrival transfers.

The best Shared Transfers to and from Civitavecchia are:

Rome Hotel to Civitavecchia

Civitavecchia to Rome Hotel

Civitavecchia to Airport

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR SHARED TRANSFER

By far the best way to organize your shared transfers is through Cruise Critic where you will find thousands of members, many who may also be cruising on your same ship!

Finding fellow cruise mates with similar itineraries is easy on a ship that accommodates thousands of cruisers. If you’re not already a Cruise Critic member, this is a good time to sign up.

Once your travel plans are all set, place an ad on Cruise Critic Roll Call and invite other follow cruisers to share your specific transfers.

TIPS ON ORGANIZING YOUR SHARED CIVITAVECCHIA TRANSFERS

* For Transfers between Rome hotels and Civitavecchia:

it’s important that all parties stay at centrally located hotels in Rome. Not only you save time while everyone is collected or dropped off at their respective hotels, but the fee for additional hotels are minimal when everyone’s hotels are centrally located.

* For Transfers from Civitavecchia to the Airport:

Make sure that everyone is flying out of the same airport (usually Fiumicino Airport, less likely from Ciampino Regional Airport). Choose a pick up time at least 3 hours prior to the first flight departure so the party leaving first will arrive at the airport on time, and those flying out later have the option to wait at the airport as needed.

There is no extra fee for multiple terminal drop offs. Anyone staying at the Airport Hotel? No problem, that counts the same as going to the airport.

** Do NOT organize shared transfers if some persons need to go to Rome and others to Fiumicino Airport.

Fiumicino Airport is about 40-60 minutes away from Rome, and this extra leg adds the equivalent of an additional airport transfer from the airport to Rome to drop off the rest of the party. It is not cost effective, and the party going to Rome will have to endure a 2 – 2.5 hour drive.

Organize shared transfers with everyone going TO, or leaving FROM the same cruise ship.

Because some ships may dock at different times, or experience delays, you don’t want your group split up – especially if you have to travel to the airport for a flight.

Keep in mind total number of passengers and luggage capacity:

The maximum capacity per vehicle is 8 passengers, and total of 7-8 checked in suitcases and 7-8 carry on cases. Please keep in mind the maximum luggage capacity if you wish to form a group of 8 to ensure everyone and their luggage can be safely accommodated inside the vehicle.

For optimal space, comfort and travel time, we suggest up to 6 persons staying at no more than 3 hotels.
