Rome Boat Experience
Head off the beaten track with this exciting way of discovering the Eternal City.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* See Rome from the River Tiber
* Hop on and off the boat at your leisure
* Regular departures throughout the day
We invite you to explore the timeless beauty of this city from an unparalleled vantage point: the River Tiber. This beautiful winding current has brought life and breath to the heart of the city since Rome’s foundation in 753 B.C. The river, which flows from the shores of Ostia to the belly of Rome, passes alongside a series of breath-taking locations, including Isola Tiberina, Piazza del Popolo, Castel S’Angelo, Vatican City, and many more – not to mention a variety of amazing bridges.
On the one hand, navigating the modern Tiber is a splendid way of getting to know those parts of Rome usually overlooked by tourists. Learn all about the history and old customs of the Roman people, or simply relish a romantic experience.
Your ticket is valid for 24 hours with hop on-hop off formula - the best way to get to know a city. Jump off the boat at any stop that is the most interesting to you and when you are ready to continue, wait at the nearest stop for another boat to pick you up.

Others: Entrance into the Vatican requires a strict dress code. Shoulders and knees must be covered, no low cut or sleeveless tops or shorts for both men and women. Clients that do not adhere to the dress code will not be permitted entry to the Vatican.
Extra measures may be implemented at some venues due to heightened global security. As a result, we may experience delays in getting through mandatory security checks when entering these venues. Extra measures may also restrict the size of bags that can be brought inside. To avoid disruptions or possible denied entry, we strongly suggest that you avoid bringing large handbags, bags, or rucksacks on your tour.
The Vatican only permits very small bags, and specifically prohibits large bags, tripods, umbrellas, and backpacks. Any such items must be checked into the free luggage storage area which may result in your having to leave the tour early to retrieve them at the entrance.
