Hellokelly76

This is the exact description from HAL's site. And I am taking it on Saturday, June 3rd. Gives a departure time of 8:15 am and that is all. I have scoured the internet, chat boards, and facebook groups to find someone who has actually taken this excursion so I can get actual times to and from the S. Pietro station with no luck. On Your Own: Rome by Train It consists of a motorcoach ride from the ship to the railway station in Civitavecchia and a 60-minute train ride to the Vatican City's St Peter's Station. The train coach escort will advise you of the pick-up time for the return journey. You will have approximately 6½ hours to shop and explore independently in the Vatican and in Rome. A city map is provided and public transportation in Rome is readily available. Optional upgrade: You can maximize your day in Rome with a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket. Purchase the upgrade on the train journey to Rome (when available). The hop-on, hop-off bus stops at many of the main archaeological sites and historical landmarks. The buses run continuously arriving at each stop about every 20 to 30 minutes. Bring local currency for attractions, meals and shopping, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars.

Thank you for the information provided. This will help.

It is a HAL excursion and it arrives and departs both to the S. Pietro station.

You as well. But I just did see in the fine print of the Venice Marco Polo airport transfer that it is not eligible for the HIA redemption. Not sure of which transfers you are looking at but check the fine print for sure.

Thanks. Yes it is a HAL excursion on the Oosterdam. I am only using it because I had an excursion credit and this is the only thing I could find it to use it on since I found better tours in all the ports elswhere and cheaper. But I may cancel and just do the train on my own as it looks cheaper and will save me some time in Rome if we do it on our own.

I have this excursion booked on Saturday June 3rd. The description says departure time is 815 am and that we are taken by private coach to the train station for a 60 minute train ride to St. Peter's station. If anyone has taken this excursion can you tell me... A. What time the train actually arrived at the St. Peter's station in the morning? and B. What time they asked you to return to the station to get on a train back to the port? Trying to buy skip the line tickets but need times first.

Ok, will do. Thanks!

It is June 3rd, a Saturday.

I have this excursion from HA coming up and had a few questions hopefully someone can answer. The description says departure at 815 am with a motorcoach ride to the Civitavecchia Station then a 60 min to St. Peter's station. I am just wondering what time the train actually departs and arrives at St. Peter's and then what time is the train to return to Civitavecchia? I am purchasing some skip the lines tickets for Vatican and colosseum and of course I need to select times for those and I am trying to plan accordingly.
