PRE & POST CRUISE TOUR
GLADIATORS & GOURMET STREETS
Post-cruise from Civitavecchia — Rome in 3 days, private transfer, Colosseum arena floor, golf cart food tour.
The journey
Three days of premium Rome for clients stepping off a cruise in Civitavecchia. A private transfer drives them from the port to their hotel. The next morning brings privileged access to the Colosseum's arena floor — entering through the Gladiators' Gate, standing exactly where ancient battles unfolded — followed by a guided visit to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. In the afternoon, a 3.5-hour golf cart food tour glides through Rome's authentic neighborhoods with multiple tastings — supplì, pizza, salumi, wine, and sweets. Ancient Rome at its most exclusive, modern Rome at its most flavorful.
Highlights
- Private transfer from Civitavecchia Port A private transfer picks up directly at Civitavecchia Port and drives straight to the Rome hotel.
- Colosseum arena floor through the Gladiators' Gate Privileged access to stand on the Colosseum's arena floor — entering through the same gate gladiators once used. The angle most visitors never get.
- Roman Forum and Palatine Hill guided tour Expert storytelling through the political and residential heart of Ancient Rome — emperors, myths, and daily life brought to life.
- Rome golf cart food tour with multiple tastings A 3.5-hour guided food tour by golf cart through Rome's authentic neighborhoods — supplì, pizza, taglieri, wine, and sweets. Sightseeing and street food at the right pace, no walking, full immersion.

Selling tips
- Colosseum arena floor — the access that defines the tour Standard Colosseum visits stop at the upper levels. Arena floor access — through the Gladiators' Gate — puts clients exactly where the battles took place. The angle for clients who want the Colosseum experience to feel exceptional, not standard.
- 3.5-hour golf cart food tour — sightseeing and tasting in one Most Rome food tours are walking tours of 2-3 hours. This one runs 3.5 hours by golf cart — covers more ground, less fatigue, more tastings. The angle for clients who want food and sightseeing combined, especially after a cruise where they may want active but not exhausting.
- The premium ancient + food package — Civitavecchia's top tier At $1,105, this is the highest-priced Civitavecchia post-cruise tour. Clients get arena floor access (vs. standard Colosseum tours) and a longer golf cart food tour (vs. walking food tours). Clear value justification for foodie history-buff clients who want both Rome's ancient power and its everyday flavors.
