Discover Lake Bracciano from Civitavecchia - Book Your Lazio Shore Excursion
Book a private, full‑day 9‑hour tour from Lake Bracciano in Lazio to explore Rome like a local from the comfort of a brand‑new Mercedes van with pickup and drop‑off in front of your ship - on time every time (we never missed a ship in 27 years). Your English‑speaking, Rome‑native driver will accompany you throughout the drive, share essential historical context and insider tips for each stop, then leave you to explore the sites on your own when the van pauses. To maximize your time, entrance tickets for the Colosseum (09:45 / 10:00) and the Vatican Museum (13:30 / 14:00) can be pre‑purchased so you avoid the ticket lines and only queue for security, while the rest of the day is yours to visit Rome’s other highlights during this seamless, private experience.

Summary:
This private tour was everything I had hoped for! Riccardo met us at the boat with a sign with our names. We rode in luxury in a new Mercedes van. He got us to every destination on time and made sure that we were in the right line and had ample time to sightsee. We had a short time to see all of Rome and we did everything. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny!
I highly recommend this tour and this company!
