This tour was beyond our expectations. Having been to Rome several times we wanted a new experience. Thought this sounded intriguing and it really was. We were picked up promptly at the port and our guide was knowledgeable and professional. We learned so much about the Etruscans and enjoyed visiting the historic town of Tarquinia. Can’t believe our cruise line doesn’t include a similar excursion on their itinerary. If you have a day in Civitavecchia I highly recommend this excursion!

Andrea was a good guide. He was prompt to pick us up, knowledgeable and prompt also. Very good historical sites of Etruscans and Tarquinia. Good lunch too. It was a large multi-course lunch with wine.

Was totally unorganized and the “guide” was inexperienced. We were dropped off with no explanation at all. We really could have just taken a bus on our own and not play $420. I will not recommend this to anyone!

Andre and Sarah were amazing. Sarah guided us around Tarquinia. The underground Etruscan tombs were so amazing. An unbelievable lunch was included. Awesome and amazing. Highly recommend!!

Our guide Mirko was fantastic--extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of our trip, down to choosing the best food pairings for lunch! Lots of walking and steps in the old city, the museum, and the Etruscan site, but well worth it. Picked up and dropped off to our local hotel right on time, and would gladly do a similar excursion in the future.

Great History! Andre was professional, passionate and knowledgeable about the Etruscan and Tarquinia region. Our 9yr old daughter found it fascinating and the paintings in the Etruscan tombs were so detailed and unique!! Fascinating walking the old medieval town of Tarquinia! Thank you for a great experience!

Every thing went according to plan and it was surprisingly interesting and enjoyable. One of the best tours in our 3 week trip.

2 Years ago some friends of ours told us about this tour. We did not know much about the Etruscans or Tarquinia - what an experience! The guide picked us up at our hotel in Civitavecchia and we drove to the cute little town of Tarquinia - then out to where the Etruscans were buried in caves underground. There are about 20 different graves that you have to walk down many steps to be able to see - each one holds unique colorful murals. Then we ate a fabulous Italian lunch and then to the Etruscan museum to see all the artifacts that have been discovered. Our guide took us on a tour of the old city in Tarquinia and then back to the hotel late afternoon - very unique excursion that we highly recommend!
