We booked the Rome Town and Country tour leaving from Civitavecchia. Our driver, Franco, was awaiting for us as we left the cruise ship and what a wonderful experience we had with him. This tour was everything we could have hoped for and more. A full day of touring wonderful sites in Rome, then off to a lovely out of the way restaurant in Ceri for lunch, and a tour of Bracciano castle later in the afternoon when there were only 6 people there! A better experience could not be had and a better driver I cannot imagine. Kudos to Franco and Stephano's Rome cabs for a day to remember.

Our group of 6 were met at the Cruise Port by Maximus for the Rome in a Day Tour before dropping us at FCO airport.
I have never met such a knowledgeable guide. Not only did he know all about the sights of Rome but knew the best vantage points to see them and also some lesser known but spectacular places.
Maximus got us very close to what were very busy locations with no problems or delays including the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps etc.
If (when!) we visit Rome again I'll be giving them a call and would not hesitate in recommending this company.
We used them for the Airport to Cruise ship transfer at the start of the cruise as well and both times they were excellent value and impeccable service.
