Are you looking for something "Off the beaten path"? The beautiful Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto are just what you need. When in Civitavecchia Port - Rome, discover the surrounding hidden gems. Avoid traffic and all the hustle and bustle of a big city. Enjoy a private tour of the Countryside to Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto. Your personal tour driver will welcome you at the dock of your cruise ship. And after a brief introduction, your tour begins. A beautiful trip to the Greenheart of Italy, Upper Viterbo and the Umbria Region This hidden gem of a region, nestled in the countryside of Rome, is known for its green landscapes, prairies and hills. With solid Volcanic grounds that make it the perfect habitat for agriculture. No surprise, the Region of Umbria is one of the largest producers of White wines and EVO in Italy. Bypassing incredible landscapes, your tour driver will take you to discover some of the most beautiful picturesque towns in the area. Before reaching the first destination, stop at Montefiascone, a nice Etruscan town. Montefiascone is built right on top of a hill overlooking Lake Bolsena. It appears today as a charming medieval town. Enjoy the view from the hilltop! Montefiascone is also known for its great production of wine. Then you’ll head up to Civita di Bagnoregio, the ghost town in Southern Umbria This commune is part of the much bigger and inhabited town, Bagnoregio. It is situated in what are called "the badlands". A junction point between Lake Bolsena and the Tiber Valley. A prosperous hub, inhabited by the Etruscans first and by the Romans and later civilizations after. All the way to modern day! Unfortunately the constant natural erosion and seismic events through out the centuries, have made it impossible for this 2500 year old Etruscan settlement to prosper any longer. The land is moist and the volcanic settlements combined with earthquakes, floods and age, have molded this town at its edges, separating it completely from the "mainland". That's why it's called Ghost town, today. Even though it seems like a rustic little village, with tiny stone houses and streets, it is very inhospitable to live in. Especially in the winter. Also because vehicles are not allowed. And the only way to get from Bagnoregio to its Civita, is by foot on a narrow bridge on the edge of a cliff, connecting the village to society. From Civita di Bagnoregio, down again to Viterbo Region and Orvieto Here, you can choose between a light lunch at the wine shop on the main square, or some local cuisine in a typical restaurant, carved in the tuff caves. After lunch, you’ll have time to visit the magnificent cathedral, and you can stroll down Orvieto’s quaint narrow streets filled with colorful shops selling beautiful ceramics. Orvieto produces one of the most famous Italian white wines! For lunch, according to what you are in the mood for, the wine shop in the square offers the opportunity to taste some of the local wines, as well as to eat some of the prosciutto and cheeses locally produced, certainly something to try. As an alternative, time permitting, you might want to have a more substantial meal and taste some of the region’s renowned outstanding foods at a proper restaurant. As you can see this tour has so many things to offer. And it is just one of the many great shore excursions we offer from Civitavecchia Port! After the tour, your personal driver will take you back to the dock of your cruise ship in a safe and timely manner.

Disembark from your cruise ship with your driver waiting for you at the dock, holding a sign. He will greet you with a warm welcome and off you go! From Roman to Renaissance times, the common denominator is: Lavishness and ostentation One thing the Ancient Romans truly mastered is the lavish lifestyle. The wealthy families that is. Tivoli makes for the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city of Rome, even way back then. Not hard to imagine, since the countryside of Rome offers a more relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, from the beginning of times. Tell that to Emperor Hadrian, the so called "Philosopher Emperor". Third on the list of 5 "Good Emperors", fathers of a period of time that brought stability and prosperity to the Empire Hadrian was most known for his passions for art and philosophy, and higher education. Which made his reign one of the most cultural period in the history of the Roman Empire. He also ordered the construction of multiple roads, buildings, theaters and thermal baths. Leaving us with a majestic legacy Today you will get a taste of this incredible legacy: Hadrian's Villa Emperor Hadrian's private villa, for his summer escapades.

Your tour driver will be excited to suggest some of the best options for you, to appreciate delicious local cuisine. Then off to Villa D'Este. This Villa and its preservation is a beautiful tribute today, to the Renaissance Era. But what one must focus on, walking through these halls and immaculate gardens is the level of ostentation that must've been key at the time. After all, wealthy Italian families are no strangers to opulence, no matter what Era And it's certainly the case, with Villa D'Este. It was built in the 16th century by the grandson of Pope Alexander VI. This estate is one of the most beautiful palaces and gardens in Italy and perhaps in Europe! The entire complex is structured by a geometric system of paths, ramps, and steps around fountains, crypts, and arched walkways; it is defined as the peak of European garden concepts. There is a lot to reflect on, during this tour: Architectural digests, history, archeology, art. And all in all, how the richest people used their assets to live a slow and leisurely life. Finally, after a relaxing and informative day in the Roman countryside, you’ll be driven back in perfect time to re board your cruise ship.

Today, the abbey’s beautiful frescoes and mosaics stand as a testament to its resilience.

Remembering History at the War Cemeteries Near Monte Cassino, you can also visit the war cemeteries, where thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in the fierce battles of World War II rest in peace.

A Day of Contrast and Reflection This tour offers a unique opportunity to experience two vastly different yet equally important cultural landmarks. From the grandiose Royal Palace of Caserta to the humble yet resilient Monte Cassino Abbey, you’ll leave with a deep appreciation for Italy’s rich history, art, and the enduring strength of its people.
