In brief: you'll get around Rome mostly by foot and by bus.

The Rome Metro (subway) system is not terribly convenient (plus you'll miss too much riding underground), taxis are expensive and not really all that faster than buses (though convenient when you have an early flight and anytime you have luggage).

River cruises can make for a nice scenic break from the walking, but not really good for getting around, and you'd be nuts to drive in Rome.
