Visiting the cultural riches of Rome with Domenico

Embarking on a Mediterranean cruise, my family and I set sail from Barcelona, eager to immerse ourselves in the cultural wonders of Italy. Florence, Rome, and Naples awaited us before returning to our starting point. Our teenage sons, Marc and Pau, were also thrilled at the prospect of exploring the country’s rich history. 

Our first stop was in Livorno, where we relished the beauty of Pisa and Florence through the cruise’s guided excursion. However, our excitement took a hit upon reaching Civitavecchia, only to discover that all available seats for the Rome tour were booked.

A quick call to our travel agency turned our regret into relief. They swiftly arranged for Domenico, our chauffeur, to pick us up from the port. Domenico arrived in a gleaming new Mercedes V-Class, and his attentive demeanour immediately gained our trust. Throughout our ride to Rome, he ensured the car’s temperature was perfect and answered Marc and Pau’s endless questions about the city. 

Domenico’s insightful commentaries enriched our tour as we navigated Rome’s most iconic sites, including the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. His skilful driving allowed us to maximize our time at each landmark. We also enjoyed an unexpected lunch at La Pergola, when our chauffeur managed to secure a table for us at this exclusive restaurant. 

As Domenico drove us back to the port of Civitavecchia, the satisfaction of our Roman adventure lingered. Waving goodbye, I reflected on how this incredible excursion had made our entire journey worthwhile.
