I have a group of 24+ travelers. Since we'll all arrive on different flights, most will get their own transport to the Rome hotel. I will arrange for a bus to get the group to the port on embarkation day. The port is an hour from central Rome so going as a group is likely helpful. Regarding hotels, I chose a highly rated hotel, centrally located for walkers and have been corresponding with them about our group coming late fall 2023. The cost is far below $175pp. I've provided the hotel with a list of names, and as it gets closer to sail date, we will all make individual reservations. There are several good options, but check out Hotel Navona 3 Stars Rome Historic Centre | Official Website to see if it meets your needs. I've also contacted a bus company and received a quote from them to get the group to the port. Am willing to provide more details if you'd like.
