Delays or diverted arrivals In case of delayed disembarkation, changes to the docking time or significant delays in leaving the ship, the customer must inform Discover Italy as soon as possible in order to check the possibility to wait or reschedule the service without extra costs. If Discover Italy is not available to wait or reschedule due to operational reasons and/or no timely communication is received, the service may be considered a no-show, and no refund will be due.
General information According to Italian law, it is strictly forbidden to place luggage inside the passenger compartment. In case of extra or oversized baggage that does not fit in the trunk, the driver may refuse the service for safety reasons and no refund will be due. Any additional costs incurred due to extra baggage (for example upgrading to a larger vehicle, arranging a second vehicle or storage) will be borne by the passengers and must be paid on the spot. In the event of malfunction, technical failure or damage, the assigned vehicle may be replaced with another of the same or higher category/quality level.
Important – Transfer options and routes Many of our transfer services offer different route options so you can book the solution that best fits your itinerary. For this product, typical options include, for example: Civitavecchia Cruise Terminal ↔ Rome city center (hotel/apartment) Civitavecchia Cruise Terminal ↔ Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) Civitavecchia Cruise Terminal ↔ Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA) Each option has a different route and a different fare. Please carefully check the options and notes provided in the product description before completing your booking, to make sure you select and pay for the correct route and vehicle type for your journey.
Contact details and meet & greet To ensure smooth meet & greet operations, we strongly recommend that at least one passenger provides a mobile phone number that is active and reachable in Italy (ideally the same number entered at the time of booking). We also highly recommend downloading and using the WhatsApp messaging app, which allows our ground staff and drivers to contact you quickly in case of any changes, delays or difficulties in locating each other. Discover Italy cannot be held responsible if passengers are unable to meet our staff or driver at the agreed meeting point due to being unreachable or not answering calls/messages.
Frequently Asked Questions (Transfer FAQ standard) – Is this a round-trip transfer? No. Each booking is for a one-way transfer only on the date you select. – If it’s a one-way transfer, why am I asked to provide both arrival and departure details? Our system is used for different types of transfers (arrivals and departures), and we are not able to predict which option you will choose. For this reason, the form may ask for more details than strictly necessary. Feel free to provide only the information that is relevant for your transfer (for example, your ship name and scheduled docking time, or your flight details if you are heading to the airport). Where a field is not applicable, you can simply enter “N/A”. – If I need a round-trip transfer, what should I do? You can easily book a round-trip by making two separate bookings, one for each travel date (outbound and return). – What time will I be picked up from the cruise terminal or hotel? The time you select during the booking process will be considered as your requested pick-up time. If you are not sure which time to choose (for example in relation to your ship’s disembarkation time or flight departure), you can contact us before booking and we will be happy to assist you in choosing the most suitable pick-up time. – I selected a pick-up time later than my ship’s scheduled arrival. Is that OK? Your driver will plan to meet you based on the original scheduled docking or disembarkation time indicated at the time of booking. Remember that you already have complimentary waiting time included in the price (up to 60 minutes for port arrivals), which is usually more than enough for disembarkation procedures. Please always select the time slot closest to your actual scheduled arrival time, not significantly later.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

Missed meeting

Eddie_E, Oct 2025

Was never able to make contact with the driver at the cruise port. Victor needs a clearly marked meeting area rather that just a dropped pin on a map.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We are truly sorry for your disappointment; however, we must clarify that our driver was on-site and fully compliant with the scheduled service. According to the booking, your pick-up time was 08:00 AM. The driver sent you a message at 07:54 AM, informing you that he was approaching the security gateway, and then waited for you until 08:30 AM — well beyond the standard waiting time included in the service. Unfortunately, you never showed up. Our operations team also reached out through Viator messages and repeatedly tried to call your mobile number, which was constantly unreachable. We only received your message after 9:00 AM, over an hour past the scheduled pick-up time. We always provide a clear meeting point, along with the driver’s name and contact number, precisely to assist travelers who may have difficulty locating the correct area. In this case, the driver was waiting at the designated exit with a sign bearing your name — photos and call records confirming this have already been shared with Viator’s customer care. We kindly remind future guests to ensure their mobile phones are active and reachable while traveling, so our staff can promptly assist in case of any confusion. It is disappointing to receive a negative review for a situation that was entirely beyond our control, as our team did everything possible to deliver the service as planned.

Not reliable

Sharon_M, Oct 2025

Do not rely on this company to provide efficient transport. We waited 50 minutes outside the Cruise terminal for collection. Even though we had booked a terminal transfer the driver had been sent to a private address in Cittavicha. We were left standing in the heat with 4 over 80’s while my husband tried to find someone to translate where we were to the driver. When he finally turned up he was apologetic but not acceptable. We paid alot of money for this transfer to Rome and in all of our travels over last 6 weeks only time we have been let down.

Ideal experience

Our driver was awesome. Professional and on time. Will use the again on my next European trip. I highly recommend

Terrible experience and the worst customer service avoid avoid avoid.

Benjamin_L, Aug 2025

This was a terrible experience that was well overpriced. I had put in the drop off location based on the general area from Airbnb I then showed the driver as he picked us up the actual street name and address, he was not interested even when I showed him directions. That being said we were forced to walk with our luggage around Rome which is a very unpleasant situation especially since we have a very young child. I would never book this company again for anything and there customer service is the worst. There are plenty of vans at the cruise port that will take you where you actually want to go for much less of a fee, also a taxi is less than half price from these guys. Totally overpriced and such a scam, when in Rome I guess.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We are disappointed to read your review, as it does not reflect the actual events. Your booking clearly indicated a drop-off point located in a pedestrian-only area. Our driver followed the address provided at the time of booking — this is exactly how a pre-arranged private transfer works. Only upon arrival did you present a completely different address. At that stage, it was not possible to alter the route or restart the service due to local traffic restrictions and the schedule agreed in advance. It is essential to provide the exact destination when making a reservation so that we can deliver the service as requested. Comparing our service to a taxi or spontaneous transport from the cruise port is misleading: private driver services operate under different rules, with fixed routes, pre-allocated time slots, and vehicles reserved exclusively for the client. While we regret that you felt inconvenienced, accusing our company of being a “scam” or “overpriced” is both unfair and inaccurate. We honoured the service exactly as booked, in compliance with the information you provided and the regulations in force.

This vendors won’t honor all flight delays!

Karen_K, Aug 2025

Very disappointed in the restriction on flight delays cancellations by this vendor. Delayed three times from JFK and arrived later than permitted. No refund. Had to Uber and pay again. Not your fault u destined - but also not our fault!!! Won’t book with you again clients to do so.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

This review does not concern our company or the service we provided. It clearly refers to a flight arrival delay from JFK, whereas our booking was for a private transfer from Civitavecchia Port to Fiumicino Airport. We had no involvement in your flight arrangements, schedule, or any delays, and therefore cannot be held responsible for these issues. We are deeply disappointed that, despite promptly contacting the customer, the travel agent, and TripAdvisor/Viator customer care to explain the situation, no action has been taken to correct or remove this review. Allowing an unrelated negative comment to remain publicly visible not only misleads future customers but also unfairly damages our reputation—something we work extremely hard to protect through consistent, high-quality service. We strongly request that this incorrect review be removed without further delay.

Easy reservation

Monique_N, Jul 2025

It was perfectly easy. The company’s communication made the arrangements very simple and easy. The driver was on time and explained history along the way.

On time and kind driver, used WhatsApp to communicate day of pick up.

Theresa_B, Jun 2025

Driver was early which was great because we were early getting off the ship. He had a sign with my name that made it quite easy ro find him. He quickly took our luggage and put it all in himself. He wanted us to be comfortable with the Air Conditioner and showed me where to use the controls. For some reason I thought he would speak fluent English. He did not. He spoke a little though. Driving in Italy is a bit crazy and I am always surprised at almost every driver weaving in and out and how close they drive to other cars. He did talk on the phone, which I don't like and I think in the future I should message ahead to please not talk. on the phone while driving in Italy because of their driving compared to the US.

On time and professional

shane_w, Jun 2025

Discover Italy was great we did a few different activities with them and they were on time, communicated well, and made last minute changes for us. Will use again thanks

Pick up at cruise port

Muriel_M, Jun 2025

We originally scheduled a 9:30 pick up at the cruise port. Viator changed it to 10am stating it was a busy port day with lots of ships. The driver showed up at 10:15. Due to this, we waited 1 hr 15 min vs 30 min for our scheduled pick up. Otherwise was good. Driver was nice and we had a safe ride.

Uncomfortable Experience

THOMAS_F, May 2025

Driver was late. Other drivers arrived at our hotel PRIOR to pick up time. We were left standing alone for over a half hour. We got a call from Viator stating that there was traffic and he was on his way. Satisfying, but wasn’t there traffic for the other drivers, too? (After all, this Rome during rush hour.) Vehicle was old and “run down.” All other drivers were dressed in suits. Ours looked like a delivery man! Driver was friendly and spoke excellent English

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear guest, I’m sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t entirely positive. I understand that arriving late and dealing with a driver can be frustrating, but it doesn’t really make sense to say that “the others were punctual,” because each driver follows a different service route and schedule. In your specific case, your driver might genuinely have done the best he could, given the circumstances. Rome can be quite chaotic—sometimes too much so—and there are situations we simply can’t predict or prevent. Usually, we don’t receive complaints about our vehicles or drivers’ attire, but I will make sure to inform the management about your feedback. Thank you, and have a good day.

Great way to travel.

Joe_D, Apr 2025

Driver arrive on time and trip was excellent. He took us straight to Train station. Mario was friendly and helpful.

Wonderful ride

RobertA_R, Oct 2024

Linsey_F, Aug 2024

easy transfer- clean car and on time driver :) Recommended to book ahead as it's a busy port the day you dis-embark on a cruise.

Efficiently executed transportation

David_L, Jun 2024

Personalized pick up and drop off. Flexible schedule to accommodate time change. Friendly driver. No hassle.

Zuhair_A, Jun 2024

Prompt, on time, the car was very clean. The drivers were very decent and nice. With the traffic in Rome, we managed to get to our destination on time.

Good service

Donna_D, Jun 2024

He was on time and got us to the airport in a timely manner. The van was clean and seat belts worked

Cruise port to Rome airport

Yakita_M, May 2024

Driver was on time and ready to go. Easy smooth driver to Rome airport. Would use again. Transport was able to fit all our luggage with ease

Rocky Ride

Mary_C, May 2024

Car not the cleanest. Driver smoked. A rough ride. The van was large enough to carry our luggage. The car was early.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear guest, so sorry to read about this. Usually, as you can see fro our review, our services are quality top. During the high season it could be happen that something goes wrong, but please, in order to help us to investigate about your journey and the quality of the provided service, please contact us with more details and we’ll be happy to investigate and, in case, offer a voucher to you!

Ride with comfort and security

ron_i, May 2024

Lovely but long ride to central Rome. Right on time. Good driving. Nice conversation. Well worth the price!

Ok Service.

Linda_R, Mar 2024

Transfer service was good. Driver didn’t talk for the trip but that’s ok. My mother left her walking stick in the car, tried to contact company. Never heard anything back which was disappointing. Otherwise service was passable l

Great Ride to the Cruise Ship!

Lance_J, Oct 2023

Driver was on time, the vehicle was comfortable, plenty of room for our tons of cruise clothes, and the purchases in Rome. The driver was Fernando, so I could not get the Abba song out of my head😂

Great

SHELDON_H, Oct 2023

Driver was wonderful. Only thing I found was they need a sign or something to let people know who they are looking for.

Perfecto!!

Richard_P, Oct 2023

Great service!! Allessio arrived early and was very patient. He got us there with time to spare. The traffic was crazy but he kept us safe and upright.

Disappointing

bbandy, Oct 2023

Driver was very nice and helpful, but air conditioning was not working, and it was warm and muggy, so windows had to stay open, and we were all pretty windblown and hot by the time we got to the ship.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear, We are sorry for what you tell us, we will check what happened with our colleague, but usually our vehicles do not have air conditioning problems, in particular this year which has suffered an increase in temperatures which have not yet dropped in October, for we have always checked the air conditioning several times, in any case every suggestion for us is a tool for growth and improvement, thank you for being our guest, we are waiting for you again in Italy. Best regards

great service

Elisa_C, Sep 2023

Great service. Very pleasant driver and had no issues arriving to the cruise terminal on time. Would highly recommend.

Great for people traveling with a lot of luggage.

Jay_C, Sep 2023

The driver arrived on-time and was friendly and efficient. Would definitely use this service again. Best for larger groups with a lot of luggage, which would make traveling by train difficult.

transfer to civitavecchia

Vanessa_P, Sep 2023

Our driver was great. He even drove by the Vatican for us on the way to the cruise ship. We didn’t have time to visit the Vatican but at least we were able to drive by. He was friendly and kind.

Good experience.

GAIL_N, Aug 2023

Great driving and pointing out all the places of interest. Felt very comfortable. Driver tried very hard to discuss things with us in English. We will recommend to friends and book with company again.
