The morning after our Borghese/ Spanish Steps day, we headed for the airport and our flight home.

 

We reserved our transfers for the airport to hotel in Civitavecchia, and from our Rome hotel to the airport, online on Bob's Limo website. I received detailed confirmations via email. We later had a change to our flight arrival time, and Sophie promptly confirmed that the change was made to our reservation. When we arrived at the FCO airport, our driver was easy to spot with our name on a sign. He confirmed our hotel details and whisked us away in no time!

 

On our return trip, our driver was already waiting when we went to the hotel lobby. He skillfully drove through the narrow streets to the next hotel for another couple, (we booked this transfer as a shared-shuttle), and then we were off to the airport, arriving in ample time for the flights.

 

The vehicles were clean and comfortable, and the drivers knew their routes well. They did not have excellent English speaking skills, so not a lot of conversation went on during the drive; however, I understood that could be the case from the detailed information we received when making our reservation. They definitely did have the correct details of where to pick up and drop off. We certainly appreciated our stress-free experience with Bob's limo!

 

We had a terrific cruise and loved the ports we visited. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Great review and pictures Pam. It was lovely to relive some of the places we visited and the people we met and the food that we ate! Regards, Lorri
