Rome Train -quick question

If the ship docks at 7am in Civitaveccia, would it be possible to make it to the Colosseum Metro stop for a 9am walking tour? This would be on a weekday.

In all probability - no. Add 30 minutes and you should be OK.

 

Biggest problem, that you have no control over, is how quickly can you get the shuttle to take you to the port entrance. There is a train that departs at 07:33 (arrives Termini at 08:50). The trains does stop at the Roma Tuscolana station at 08:42. If you got off there and were lucky to grab a taxi right away, you could possible get there by 09:00.

 

If you miss the 07:33, the next train is at 07:59 and arrives at 09:20.

Ok, I would have liked a tour of the Forum and so far I've found one company that meets every day at 9am. But there may be others operating there as well.
