We are a couple cruising on the NCL Jade starting on May 2. We will be in Port of Rome on May 5. We don't want to use the ships tours and would like to share a driver with 1 or two other couples on the cruise. We have contacted a driver who sounds good but will join you and yours if you have found a good person. We would like a full day with entry into the colusseum and Vatican Museum etc. Please e-mail if you are interested

by port of rome you mean civatecchia?
we get so many people trying to sort this on VT - they never seem to get any replies - maybe they get private emails - let's hope
I'd take myself there by train, and just walk. Much cheaper, just as easy.........and far less likely to get stuck in traffic.
But you're right, we do get lots of people asking. I wonder if they realise how far Civitavecchia actually is from Rome?
it is over and over and over and over again
endlessly
Like a circle in a spiral........
like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning.....
Bonnie and Bob, I'm sorry if this all seems a bit flippant. It's that sort of day.
You might be more successful in finding someone to share on the forums of www.cruisecritic.com, which is a sister site to VT.
civatvecchia - hard to spell - hard to say
i would be waiting for my train at Trastevere and here the announcements for the Civatvecchia train - got a grip on how to say it - just can't spell it
just we get such a lot of people searching for cheap and easy options
but rome isn't easy
I did that and it was wonderful - much better than the train. However this isn't really the best place to ask to share - probably ask on the cruisecritic message boards http://boards.cruisecritic.com/index.php
Look under the Jade Roll call for May 2

Or under the Rome port
Don't forget to buy a magazine "Romac'e" - it will help you to find the info regarding the concerts, theaters, restaurants, shopping, music etc. (It's kind of Roman Guardian)
It comes up every Thursday and it costs 1.20 E - for such small amount you will save a lot of time.
You can buy it in every EDICOLA - a newstand.

Somewhere within the warren of restaurants and shops near Piazza Navona is a marble statue worn by time and the elements. And he talks - he is Pasquino, Rome's "talking statue." Pasquino was named after the 16th century (yes, the statue is that old!) cobbler who lived next door. Pasquino the cobbler was the modern day equivalent of a political junkie, writing satirical comments about events of his time. Probably afraid to be persecuted for his views, he posted these comments on the dead of the night on the statue. Thus, the "talking statue" monicker.
Today, the statue seems to be an outlet for not-so-bad fashion sense as the photo shows.
Rome at night is so beautiful iluminated with big lights. We did not spent time on nightclubs. We prefered to walk around monuments and museums and sight was wonderful.
Roma de noche es preciosa iluminada por todas partes. No fuimos de bares y discotecas, preferimos pasear cerca de los monumentos y museos y la vista era maravillosa.
Everyone raves about the Trastevere neighborhood and there are plenty of restaurants available in the little alleyways. But I would recommend venturing into Testaccio across the river south of Aventine Hill. It's less touristy and more 'real', though the neighborhood isn't as scenic as Trastavere. Trastavere seems to me to be a bit overpriced. This is just our experience though. The neighborhood of Testaccio used to be known for its slaughterhouse but now has one of the finest food markets in Rome, some of the best restaurants, and the most lively clubs atop Monte Testaccio.
Restaurants:
Volpetti Deli
47 Via Marmorata
Augustarello (pasta dishes)
98 Via Giovanni Branca
Da Bucatino (Italian)
84/86 Via Della Robbia Luca
Trattoria Da “Oio” a Casa Mia (italian)
Via Galvani, 43-45
Clubs on Monte Testaccio:
Metaverso (reggea, electronic)
zoobar (80's)
It is a typical Roman trattoria. lt's always full and popular with politicians and joumalists, especially at lunchtime. Try the home-made fettuccine cooked with peas and guanciale (bacon made from the pig's cheek).
