Optional tour of Villa
Borghese by Segway !!!
Before your tour by golf
cart begins, during your golf cart tour or at the end of
it you can have the wonderful experience of touring
Rome's most beautiful park by Segway for only 8 extra
Euros per person!
If you never had the
chance of riding a Segway, but you always wanted to,
this is your chance!
There are companies
that take people on Segway tours of Rome, we think that
touring around by golf cart is much better but, when
people see Segways riding about, they always seem to be
very curious about them and so we decided to offer our
clients the opportunity to experience what it's like to
ride a Segway in the safest and most beautiful place
where one can do that: the park of Villa Borghese. The
tour takes half an hour and takes you to the City
Panorama, Hydraulic Clock, the Garden of the
Swans, Raphael's Casina, the Hippodrome, The Fountain of
the Marine Horses, The Temple of Diane, The Casina
Valadier and the Borghese Museum (not inside).
If only some members
of the group want to ride the Segways and others don't,
it's not a problem! Those who don't want to ride the
Segway will tour the Villa in the golf cart and the
others can follow on their Segways !
The golf cart tour
is not just a
driving tour! We will stop at the sites
and let you get out of the cart to

to the entrance to the Vatican Museums. The distance is
about 1.5 miles, so you may want to take a taxi instead.
If you inform us of your decision in time we'll hold a
taxi for you. We recommend you get on the earliest train
possible, there's one leaving Civitavecchia at 7:30 if
you can make it, otherwise you can catch the 8:00 o'
clock train.

The port of Civitavecchia
How to get
from the port of Civitavecchia to
Rome by train.
The train
station is quite far from the piers where the cruise ships
dock but there is a free shuttle service, provided by the
Port Authority, that takes you from your ship right to the port's gate.
From where the shuttle drops you off to the train station is a 10-minute
walk.
The shuttle
bus picks you up from the pier where your ship docks and
drops you off by the fortress designed by
Michelangelo located within the boundaries of the port, next
to a "tourist information" kiosk, just a few steps away from the port's gate
.
You don't need to go anywhere to catch the shuttle bus, you
just need to wait by your ship's gangplank and it'll
come by and stop to pick up the passengers.
The shuttle bus constantly runs between the cruise ships and
and Michelangelo's fortress.
Should it not be there when you disembark your ship, you'll
just need to wait a few minutes.
When you get off the shuttle walk towards the
information kiosk and, once you reach it, walk to your right
to face the port's exit.
Walk across the gate
to exit the port and you'll se
a "Mc Donald's" restaurant
on your left. At this point you should be facing the seaside
boulevard.
Walk on the
seaside boulevard keeping the beach to your right.
It
doesn't really matter which side of the boulevard you walk
on but maybe walking on the left hand side would be better,
since the train station is on the left hand side of the
boulevard.
Walking on the
left hand side of the boulevard you'll pass by a church,
shops, restaurants and hotels, till you'll arrive to
a point, just near the "Hotel De la Ville", where the street
sort of splits in two to continue in the same direction but on two
different levels. Continuing to walk on the upper level
of the street you'll arrive directly to the train station and it'll appear
to you as shown in the picture on the right.
Walkingon the right
hand side of
the boulevard you'll pass some shops, a merry-go-round and
some sort of a tourist market which really isn't always
there.
If you walk on
the right side of the boulevard or on
the lower level of the street, you'll see a sign pointing to the train station.
The sign, black letters in white field, says "stazione ff.
ss." (in Italian this means State Railroads Station)
and it's placed right at the bottom of the short stairway
which you'll have to climb to get to the train station.
Please note
that if you'll have walked this far on the right hand side of the
boulevard, the sign will be on the other side of the street
and you'll have to walk across the street to climb steps
and get
to the train station.
Once at the train
station you can buy your B.I.R.G. ticket (acronym for Biglietto
Integrato Regionale Giornaliero = Daily Integrated Regional
Ticket), such ticket, presently (2011) sold for 9 Euros, not
only is
valid for the round trip from Civitavecchia, but also to
ride the
buses and the subway in Rome for the day. Its validity is 24
hours.
Do not forget
to validate your ticket at the stamping machine in the
lounge before you board the train.
You can buy
your ticket
from the vending machines if you are familiar with such
devices or from the ticket office simply asking for
"B.I.R.G. Roma".
You can also
check the train schedule and buy
your ticket on line clicking on this link:
www.trenitalia.com.
You can get
off the train at St. Peter's station which is near the
Vatican if that where you want to start your tour from or at
the main train station called "Termini" if you want to
start touring the city from its center. St. Peter's station
is very small and it's a lot easier to meet there rather
than the huge and dispersive Termini.
The trains from
Civitavecchia stop also at other stations in the city, but
San Pietro or Termini are the preferable ones for sightseers.

Transfer to
Rome by private car or minivan
If you you shouldn't feel like having the
experience of riding a train in Italy or you just want to be
more comfortable and transfer to Rome and back in a nice
air-conditioned minivan or car we can offer the round trip
transfer service at the following price:
up to 4 people by sedan car, 300 Euros
up to 8 p. by minivan, 350 Euros
Once your ship docks in Civitavecchia
you'll find the car or minivan, right on the pier where the
ship docks, parked as close as possible to the footbridge
(gangplank), with your name posted on its windshield.
If parking close to the footbridge (gangplank) shouldn't be
possible, the driver will be standing near it posting your name.
