    Description

    If you are really into learning about local culture and history, this tour might be perfect for you

    This private tour of Tarquinia and Tuscania will give you an idea of just how intricate the Roman countryside really is, every town, every place, every landscape, holds its secrets. Traditions, history, Etruscan archeology, nature, these are the focus points of this activity.

    One of our personal, highly entertaining and knowledgeable tour drivers, will welcome you at the dock of your cruise ship in Civitavecchia Port. Holding a sign with your name.

    Departing the Port, you’ll travel inland to the Tuscia area of Upper Latium. After a brief introduction from your tour driver, you’ll soon arrive in the first destination.

    Tarquinia, one of the most important Etruscan cities

    This village is not only a true delight for its architectures, completely surrounded by hills and beautiful landscapes, it is also one of the most well renowned Etruscan built citadel. The Etruscans were one of the predominant civilizations here in Italy, far before the Roman Empire. So this tour will give you the opportunity to better learn about the ancient times of the Italian Peninsula. Through the archeological sites and architectures. In fact, Tarquinia has the greatest Etruscan museum in the World! The National Archaeological Museum, is a World Heritage Site.

    It is hosted in the Aristocratic Vitelleschi Palace. A beautiful Gothic and Renaissance building. If you are planning on visiting it, the museum is dislocated in two sections: On the ground floor, you can find recoveries placed in chronological order of stone materials from artifacts to marble sarcophagi dating the 4th Century bC!

    (One of the most impressive halls would be Room Number 10, keep that in mind if you plan on visiting the Museum). The first floor hosts the marvel of Etruscan Art, the beautiful and famous sculpture of the “Winged Horses” a terracotta relief, immaculate conditions, from the 4th century bC. Then other beautiful artworks and reliefs from the later ages.

    We always like recommending a visit of the Museums, to better understand the culture and traditions of such an ancient civilization through artwork, sculptures and discoveries made in the nearby archeological sites, of theMonterozzi Necropolis. A system of chamber tombs beautiful decorated and painted with frescoes. This ginormous site hosts 6000 graves the oldest of which dates back the 7th Century bC.

    Next destination, Tuscania

    A beautiful village, entirely carved in Tuff, a rocky material greatly present in the area. Here your tour driver can recommend some typical restaurants, where you can enjoy a nice and relaxing lunch.
    There are many Roman and Etruscan burial sites in the Tuscania area, especially along the River banks. They house Etruscan tombs that have preserved the personal belongings of a famous Etruscan family which are now exposed in the Archaeological National Museum of S. Maria Del Riposo. In the medieval historical center of Tuscania, you will enjoy visiting some beautiful ancient Churches, one of which is actually built on an Etruscan acropolis. That’s how fascinating this village is!

    Upon request, to make the experience the best YET, you can select the service of one of our historian and guides for a private guided tour of Etruscan wonders

    The area also hosts some great locations where you can enjoy a nice lunch in a local Trattoria, for a real traditional dish. A true delight, your personal tour driver will be happy to recommend the best spots.

    From Tuscania, you’ll later return to Civitavecchia in perfect time to board your ship. After a day exploring the depths of the Central Italian history.
