Creator's Key Takeaways

It was just so sweet and just it was an amazing experience. There was maybe four, eight, 12, maybe 20 people. The food was amazing.

It's just breathtaking, spectacularly beautiful. Words can't describe it. Pictures can't describe it, video until you see it with your own eyes.

The food wasn't as good came out cold. The server gave us a bit of an attitude. I wouldn't recommend that.

It is a lot of walking. Not just walking but steps. Steps and hills everywhere. So, put on your walking shoes and be prepared.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wear comfortable walking shoes or hiking shoes due to many steps and cobblestones.
✓Bring your ID to the Colosseum and Vatican as they may ask to see it.
✓Arrive at St. Peter's Square early (around 6:30 AM) to avoid long security lines.
✓Keep your tickets handy as you may need to show them multiple times at major sites.

Navigating from the cruise port — Arrange a private driver; it was very easy to find and took about 90 minutes.
Physical exertion/walking — Be prepared for steep hills, many steps, and uneven cobblestones.
