We chose this tour to avoid the crowds & heat of Rome which we have done. We gave this a 5 not for the gardens that were lacking or the empty villa but our driver Mirko . He saved the day with his vision of his country from vistas to towns& watched over us like a guardian Angel as my knees are weak. To Viator going to Tuscania was a fairytale if u gave lunch in one of those charming places& wine tasting u have a perfect tour. To our Mirko May angels guard & keep you for you are a joyful Italian we call friend !

Beautiful tour of relatively unknown treasures of Western history and art. Idyllic rolling landscape of the countryside makes for a pleasurable drive. Andrea our driver was courteous, very knowledgeable and accommodated our needs. All in all a very enjoyable and memorable day.

Palazzo Farnese is amazing. Brilliant frescoes cover the walls and the Royal staircase is stunning. I have never seen anything like this before. And everything went extremely smoothly. We were picked up by a white Mercedes with a very knowledgeable and helpful driver _ Andrea. He told us all about the history of the Farnese Palace and about the countrydide we travelled through. This included crops grown, an Etruscan aqeduct, villas passed and a lake. As much of Viterbo was closed due to an upcoming public holiday he offered us a great alternative_ a visit to the Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia_ a UNESCO world heritage site. And for lunch he took us to a small restaurant serving locally produced food. The trip was superb and excellent value for money.

Spettacolare palazzo con magnifiche sale affrescate , il prezzo del biglietto vale oltre la magnificienza dell'edificio e del parco antistante con incredibili fontane.
