BEST VID EVER!!! Thank you SO much! We had a booking at the Sistine Chapel at 12:30 pm. We docked at the port, were first off the boat per your instructions, caught the taxi, then the train - deviated slightly (due to our booking) and went all the way to the main station, found the metro line and started your tour at the Colosseum using Komoot - it was PERFECT!! We saw all the sites, took amazing pics, we even tried the “Jewish pizza” (not a fan) & Pisa M’Po 🍕(HUGE fans!!!)… it was 38 degrees out & yet we made it all in good time - including the guided tour of the Sistine Chapel and back to the boat with more than an hour to spare. Thank you! Thank you!! Not just for your great advice but also for taking the time to put it all together so very carefully!! We were absolutely awe-struck by the magic of Rome - all thanks to you! Grateful! Mike & Mich T (Durban, South Africa) 🇿🇦
BEST VIDEO EVER? I really appreciate the compliment, I especially want to thank you far taking the time to come back an let me know how it went for you. Sorry you did not like the Jewish pizza! So glad things worked out & I was able to help make your visit more enjoyable!
Hey Mike and Mich! Great to hear it worked out for you guys! I’m planning the same trip for our family this December and we’re in the same situation with the timed ticket to the museum. Did you guys have enough time to visit St Peter Basilica as well during the short visit? We really want to be there, not sure if it’s feasible! Also, if the cruise is scheduled to leave at 7, what time should we start heading back from the Vatican?
We have one day in Rome in October. I am following your itinerary for the day. The one change is I purchased a guided tour of the Vatican from their official website with a set time of 10:30am. I can't wait to follow the tour you mapped out :)
That is great you will have a great time I am sure. Be sure to get he app Komoot, free to use in Rome. It will guide you making it easy. Just make sure your phone is charged!
This looks great. We’re on our way to Italy now and will let you know how it goes. We have two days in Rome but will be spending time in the Colosseum and Vatican.
Great excited to get the feedback. You can always use one day for Vatican and Colosseum and the other for walking tour starting at the Colosseum. You do not want to start too early walking because many of the places to eat do not open until around 11 am. Have a great time!
I think You will really enjoy it. Just remember to get off the boat as soon as they let you otherwise getting into St Peters Basilica will take most of your morning, So much to see in Rome, so make the most of it!
Definitely agree with the previous comment, the BEST VIDEO EVER! Thank you for putting on so many information into great details, and making it super easy to learn to follow! Thank you again!! Our cruise is scheduled to dock from 7am to 7pm on Dec 16th this year. We wanted to do both St Peter Basilica and Vatican Museum. Unfortunately, the only available timed tickets for the museum either 8:30am or 12pm onward on that day. Even if we buy the train tickets in advance, would you think that getting there at 8:30 is doable? That’d be nice because we can line up for St Peter Basilica afterward, and spend whatever time we have left to walk your Rome tour!! Otherwise, do you think it’s overly ambitious if we do Rome in the morning (mainly the Colosseum and the Pantheon), then head to the Vatican before noon and book the museum around 1, and heading straight back afterwards? How long should we expect to walk the route you recommended? Thank you again very much for your help! Wish you all the best!!!
Boats usually arrive a little before the stated time. If you get off the boat first thing, and head to the train, get ticket for train and get off at the Vatican train station. It is about 15 minute walk from there to the Museum. Do not go all the way into Termini or you will just have to double back to the Vatican. Also lets say you purchase a train ticket for 7:15 but you miss that train the ticket is still good for next train so do not worry too much, just validate the ticket and you are good. Only high speed trains are for a specific time even through when you purchase it says it is for a specific time it really is not. Now that is out of the way. I would try to get the earlier tickets and try hard to get there and I think they have a little grace period it think 30 minutes? Not sure on that. Then when you are finished you can get see St Peters Basilican and Dec 16 the lines will not be that long. You will be done with the Vatican about noon giving you 4 to 5 hours to explore the city. Walking time for the GPS is about 1.5 hours place all the extra time for pictures, eating and you know enjoying the walk. 3.5 hours should be good! Well that is what I would do anyways. Trust your gut and go with it! I hope you have a great day in Rome!
This is great! I wonder if Vatican and the colosseum has skip the line ticket… our cruise will be in Rome from 8am to 8pm, not sure if we have time to do it in one go..but we are coming back for Rome for sure haha
If you get to the Vatican forst thing in the morning (by 8:30am) lines will be minimal and you will not need skip the line tickets. The skip the line are for the Vat museum only and some also include entrance into the basilica. Once you get to the colosseum the walking part is just over 3 miles about 1 hour but you will have 5 to 6 hours to do it in so it will be a relaxed pace for sure. I hope you give it a try.
Great video! Thank you for sharing the route on Komoot! I've just saved it. Do you have additional routes for Rome or Florence that you can share? You're very knowledgeable and offer thoughtful advice for trip planning! I'm so glad I found your channel.
I will be putting more routs together soon for Rome, specially one that includes Trastevere. . Florence is much smaller and easy to navigate without a specific route. Hard to get lost in Florence. I am glad you liked the video. Be sure to share a comment of what you thought when you get back. Have a great time.
Love this! Trying to decide if we can do Rome in a day or take a cruise that begins/ends in Rome. How much time/what did you do at the Vatican? What time did you leave? I feel like the Vatican is so imminence and so much to see...what specifically did you do? Thanks! Oh...and I love all the food recs.
2 hours inside St Peters is kinda what I budgeted, If you want to see the museum you will need to plan for another 2 to 3 hours. If you only have 1 day in Rome I recommend just seeing the St Peter"s Basilica and than spend the rest of your time exploring the city. The option of beginning and ending in Rome I think would be better, but if you only have one day you can do lots if you have a good plan
I've been watching videos for months trying to plan our 1 day in Rome, this is exactly what I've been looking for. My wife and I are early risers, so we'll be standing by the exit door on the ship by 6:30! My only concern is that I've purchased Train tickets on the app (trying to beat the lines), but I was unsure what time to get so i got tickets for 7:58 and 8:42. After watching your video, I feel like I should change it to 7:30-7:45. Our plan was to hit the Vatican first and work back into Rome and we have a 5:45pm train back to Civitavecchia
The time on the tickets is not binding you can use it for earlier or later trains. Just validate on app before departure. Only trains with assigned seats are for a specific date and time. Hope you have a great time!!
The only skip the line tickets that you need are for Vatican Museum. All tickets for the Colosseum need to be purchased online and are for a specific time and day. So all are skip the line. The Pantheon you can purchase skip the line tickets but I usually just get them on site. There are 2 lines at the Pantheon, one for cash and the other for credit and a third for advanced purchase. Right out front they have a QR code you can scan to purchase and you can usually get tickets for immediate entry. Even if you are in Rome for several days you should give the walking part of Itinerary a try. Have a great time.
Great video - this is now my number one food tour video... Hey I am travelling with my kids and one has nut allergies - any advice for us other then carrying a card? Thanks!
Don’t eat the Jewish pizza it has nuts! Not sure what to do about nut allergies in Italy, but fortunately enough Italians in Italy, do speak decent English so you can communicate with them OK. So my site video turned into a food. I guess that’s a good thing part of the fun in Italy is not just the sites, but also the food
Nice vid. Wondering about three days on our second time to rome, though it's been 25 years. Was told to go to Tivoli for the couple Villas. But with so much to still see in Rome, wondering if it's really worth it. The waterfalls look pretty in Tivoli. Thoughts? Grazie
If you have a choice between 3 days in Rome or 2 days in Rome and 1 in Tivoli, I would 100% spend 1 day in Tivoli. It is a fun city and a great escape from Rome. Lots to do and see there. You will love Tivoli!
Thanks. I think we may do it. Though we've never really explored the Bourgese gardens , park, museum etc. which was another option that day. Would you still say Tivoli over that too? thanks for your thoughts. @@RozierRoma
Kind of a hard decision, but for me, I would pick Tivoli. It’s an easy train ride about 45 minutes and cost under three euros. Each way trains leave two or three times an hour so it’s easy to get there and back. Tivoli is small enough that you won’t need a buss or taxi. I don’t think you will regret going to Tivoli. Villa Borghese is almost as big as the whole town of Tivoli. I think Tivoli will be more memorable and the train ride out and back is very pleasant
Always great and informative vids. I am going next year in May but I'm already taking your tips and planning. Can you suggest a link for a reliable Vatican tour company? This is the only place I'm concerned about lines and time. I will also have two young grandchildren and long lines some something that is not for gelato will be problematic. :) Already got nice place at overlooking Torre Argentina based upon your recommendation.
If you are wanting to just see the St Peters Basilica just get there before 8am and the lines will be short. St Peters closed on Wednesday mornings. If you are wanting to tour the museum I will put some links options for you.

Hello, new subscriber here 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Do you have any videos or recommendations if it is safe to use credit cards in Rome, or is it better to use cash??? Thank you in advance.
I do not have any videos about it, but it is very safe to use credit card. In fact, it’s preferred and very common. I use cards pretty much for everything, except for like open markets. You are not charged extra fees just the going rate, but if if you convert dollars to euros then there is a markup for the cash so it actually cost more to use cash not much but a little more to use cash. You still need cash from time to time but 90% of your purchase can be on credit card , even taxis
When you say the Vatican you are really just meaning St Peter's Basilica which is only part of it right? St Peter's Basilica is absolutely amazing, the ceiling is jaw dropping, but is only a fraction of what is inside the main Vatican building.
Yes I do. In more recent videos I have made it a habit to be more clear with mentioning St Peter's Basilica vs Museum, vs Vatican City.. Whae tou say Vatican building are you referring to the Museum?
That is the line to get into Saint peters Basilica. It’s free, but you have to go through security first. Some tickets to the Vatican museum include entry into the basilica so don’t wait in that line. If you’re coming from another country, you’re going to have to go through customs, baggage claim and it may take longer than you think getting there by 10 AM will be a challenge, but either way the line then Will be long
You do need wifi and there are several options. One option is to get a tourist sim card when you get there. There are not too expensize about 10 euros for the card and anither 20 eros ofr a month of service.
@@RozierRoma are you able to use the sim card throughout countries? Mainly Italy and Spain. Thank you for this video and input I am excited to try the itinerary (most excited for the food spots!)
The food is awesome. Yes the Sim card should work throughout Europe. You may want to check because there’s e- SIM cards and physical Sim cards . In order to use the Sim card to your phone often times needs to be unlocked so check with your carrier.
@@RozierRoma Last question! We will be in Rome May 1st, which i just realized is workers holiday in Rome, do you think the pizza shops/bakeries you mentioned will be open on the holiday?
Definitely agree with the previous comment, the BEST VIDEO EVER! Thank you for putting on so many information into great details, and making it super easy to learn to follow! Thank you again!!

One more note some museum tickets offer direct access to St Peters Basilica (skip the line) Try to get those if you can but if not no worry the lines should not be too long.

Great advice. Personal I would never want just one day in Rome. There is just so much to do. Do any of the site sell "skip the line" tickets?
The only skip the line tickets that you need are for Vatican Museum. All tickets for the Colosseum need to be purchased online and are for a specific time and day. So all are skip the line. The Pantheon you can purchase skip the line tickets but I usually just get them on site. There are 2 lines at the Pantheon, one for cash and the other for credit and a third for advanced purchase.

Great to hear. The Jewish pizza is my favorite!
Oh, 1 more thing they are closed on Saturdays.
Hi, is this line just to enter Vatican city or to some museums? We are landing at 8.30 and plan to go to Vatican till 10am.
That is the line to get into Saint peters Basilica. It’s free, but you have to go through security first.

If you plan and day right you can see so much!
do you need wifi for the app? what do you recommend for cruisers to get wifi during a euro cruise?
You do need wifi and there are several options. One option is to get a tourist sim card when you get there. There are not too expensize about 10 euros for the card and anither 20 eros ofr a month of service.
@@RozierRoma are you able to use the sim card throughout countries? Mainly Italy and Spain. Thank you for this video and input I am excited to try the itinerary (most excited for the food spots!)
The food is awesome. Yes the Sim card should work throughout Europe. You may want to check because there’s e- SIM cards and physical Sim cards . In order to use the Sim card to your phone often times needs to be unlocked so check with your carrier.
@@RozierRoma Last question! We will be in Rome May 1st, which i just realized is workers holiday in Rome, do you think the pizza shops/bakeries you mentioned will be open on the holiday?
@@allisonAsmega Most but not all are open on holidays. 80% will still be open
How long is the train ride from the port into Rome?
Just under one hour to the termini train station if you exit at the Vatican, it’s about 10 or 15 minutes less
how much does the train or bus cost around rome?
1.5 euros
Definitely agree with the previous comment, the BEST VIDEO EVER! Thank you for putting on so many information into great details, and making it super easy to learn to follow! Thank you again!! Our cruise is scheduled to dock from 7am to 7pm on Dec 16th this year. We wanted to do both St Peter Basilica and Vatican Museum. Unfortunately, the only available timed tickets for the museum either 8:30am or 12pm onward on that day. Even if we buy the train tickets in advance, would you think that getting there at 8:30 is doable? That’d be nice because we can line up for St Peter Basilica afterward, and spend whatever time we have left to walk your Rome tour!! Otherwise, do you think it’s overly ambitious if we do Rome in the morning (mainly the Colosseum and the Pantheon), then head to the Vatican before noon and book the museum around 1, and heading straight back afterwards? How long should we expect to walk the route you recommended? Thank you again very much for your help! Wish you all the best!!!
One more note some museum tickets offer direct access to St Peters Basilica (skip the line) Try to get those if you can but if not no worry the lines should not be too long.
