Tour privado de historia etrusca desde Civitavecchia: Tarquinia y Tuscania
Descripción
Tarquinia y Toscana son dos joyas de la región de Tuscia en el centro de Italia. Estas ciudades históricas son perfectas para una exploración independiente, combinando patrimonio etrusco, arquitectura medieval y paisajes impresionantes. Retrocede en el tiempo y descubre la rica historia de los etruscos. Etruria fue una vez una región próspera de Italia Central, ubicada en el área que cubría lo que hoy es Lacio, Toscana y Umbría. La mayoría de lo que la gente sabe sobre la civilización etrusca proviene de pinturas y artefactos que han sido desenterrados después de haber sido enterrados durante miles de años. Los etruscos emigraron de Asia menor, hablaban un idioma que aún no se ha descifrado, y eran guerreros y marinos enérgicos. Aprenda todo esto y más en este interesante, emocionante, lleno de hechos, viaje privado. Con un conductor a su disposición, planifique su ruta con anticipación para maximizar el tiempo en cada sitio. Tarquinia y Toscana están a unos 20 minutos de distancia. Ambas ciudades son lo suficientemente pequeñas para visitar en un día.

Adéntrate en la historia mientras exploramos Tarquinia, la cuna de la civilización etrusca. Pasea por sus calles medievales, admira palacios nobles y descubre los secretos de la famosa Necrópolis etrusca, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Un viaje en el tiempo, donde el arte antiguo y las vistas impresionantes esperan.
La Necrópolis etrusca de Monterozzi se ubica sobre un altiplano al este de Tarquinia (Viterbo) y cuenta con aproximadamente 6,000 tumbas, la mayoría de ellas excavadas en la roca y coronadas por túmulos, la más antigua de ellas data del siglo VII a. C.
La espléndida iglesia románica de Santa María en el castillo merece un capítulo aparte. La iglesia está situada en la parte más antigua de Tarquinia, donde se encontraba el Castrum Cargnetum, originando el núcleo de la antigua Corneto. Para llegar, hay que caminar por la Via di Porta Castello, cruzar la antigua puerta con la Torre de Dante y la Torre de Matilde di Canossa al fondo. ¡Unos pasos para ser catapultados hace 1000 años! El ambiente aquí es simplemente mágico, especialmente en la noche cuando las calles están iluminadas solo por la luz de las farolas ... el lugar ideal para un paseo romántico en la historia.
Ubicado en el Palazzo Vitelleschi, el Museo Nacional Etrusco de Tarquinia está entre las principales atracciones de la ciudad. El Palazzo Vitelleschi merece una visita por sí mismo! Construido por el cardenal Giovanni Vitelleschi entre 1436 y 1439 con un diseño de Giovanni Dalmata, gracias a la presencia simultánea de elementos góticos y renacentistas y una verdadera obra maestra arquitectónica.
Un agradable paseo por las estrechas calles del centro histórico de Tarquinia. En Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, donde se encuentra el Palazzo Comunale, la monumental fuente del siglo XVIII.
La Catedral de los Santos Margherita y Martino, construida alrededor de 1260, está ubicada en la plaza con el mismo nombre a pocos pasos del Palazzo Vitelleschi y es parte de la diócesis de Civitavecchia y Tarquinia. Elevada al rango de Catedral el 5 de diciembre de 1435, durante el siglo XV la catedral fue ampliada por el Obispo Bartolomeo Vitelleschi y, desafortunadamente, fue destruida en 1643 por un terrible incendio.
Descubre Toscana, una encantadora ciudad donde la historia y la naturaleza se mezclan en perfecta armonía. Pasee por sus calles medievales, admire la impresionante Basílica de San Pietro y disfrute de impresionantes vistas de la campiña de Tuscia. Un viaje inolvidable al alma del antiguo Lacio.
Basado en el Monasterio Franciscano fundado en 1247, adyacente a la Iglesia del s. Maria del riposo. La primera sección del museo fue inaugurada en 1988; consta de 4 habitaciones en la planta baja donde se expone el complejo funerario del noble período helenístico (IV-II sec.a.C.). De particular importancia son los complejos funerarios de tres tumbas de roca de la familia Curunas: junto a los sarcófagos nenfro con tapas que restituyen toda la figura del fallecido, faliscan, las cerámicas son ceretano, vulcenti y / o tarquiniesi y chiusine. De particular importancia en materiales relacionados con el bronce o el banquete mundial femenino. En 1997, se abrieron al público 2 habitaciones en la planta superior, una dedicada a la historia del monasterio y el centro antiguo de Tuscania, la otra a los testimonios más antiguos de la necrópolis (siglo VII aC). Próximamente se inaugurarán nuevas secciones de exposición.

A great experience in history and archeology. Our great guides, Manuel and Frederico, took us to Tuscania and Tarquinia. Very good narratives about the region and good walking tours in each city. Took in a museum of artifacts, several churches, one excavated, and a necropolis. It was all fascinating. After checking with our preferences for lunch, we had delicious local pizza. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an alternative to the long bus ride to Rome, or if you’ve been there enough and you’re at the port of Civitavecchia.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed this deep dive into history and archaeology in Tuscania and Tarquinia. It’s great to know that the narratives and explanations provided by our drivers added real value to the experience, helping bring the region, its sites, and its stories to life. Thank you as well for highlighting this tour as a great alternative to Rome for guests arriving at the port of Civitavecchia. We would be delighted to welcome you again for another memorable experience!
Emanuele was an excellent guide. He scared us at first saying he was just a driver, but he was an excellent teacher and very pleasant person. He customized our stops for what we were interested in and brought us to a very nice local restaurant for some warm soup, acquacotte on a cold day. The sites, churches and tombs were amazing and a welcome change from Rome, which we have covered pretty well in the past.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the flexibility of the tour. While the tour does not officially include a tour guide, we always select drivers who know the area well and are happy to share tips, local insights, and interesting facts along the way. We’re also happy to hear that you enjoyed the stops, the sites, and the local restaurant—it’s always our goal to offer a memorable experience that feels authentic and a bit different from the usual itineraries. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
There were two of us sharing this tour, so it was a little expensive, but it was worth it. We were on a cruise, and had already spent five days in Rome. Communication with Giorgia prior to the tour was very good. Emannuele met us at the dock with an iPad with our name. The van was parked right there and, since there were only two of us, there was no jockeying for seats. As we drove to Toscania, Emannuele explained agriculture and industry and answered our questions. As we approached Toscania, he had Google explain, in English, the major sites. In Toscania, he walked us through the walled town, stopping when we wanted to shop (lavender is grown locally) to the public gardens, where there was a functioning sun dial and an exceptional view. Other stops were the Fountain of Seven Spouts and St. Peter’s Church (don’t miss the crypt). In Tarquinia we elected to visit the museum and the Monterozzi necropolis (€8, not included in the tour price, but that was stated up front). These are edifying sites, and the stars of the tour. Between the museum and the necropolis, Emannuele directed us to Il Boccone del Prete for lunch on our own. It was an excellent choice. After a gentle ride (Emannuele is a very safe driver), we returned to our ship. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and if you have more people in your party it becomes more economical. It was a treat after the big buses.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Tuscania and Tarquinia, and that the tour provided a comfortable and personalized experience after your days in Rome.

We hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future for more discoveries across Italy!
We were on a stop with our cruise ship in Civitavecchia port and were not up for the traffic and crowds in Rome so we booked this private tour. We are so glad we did! The countryside and ancient towns were beautiful and the Etruscan tombs were so interesting. Emmanuel was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed spending the day with him and appreciated how accommodating and flexible he was. We highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring the countryside and ancient towns. Thank you for recommending the tour — it truly means a lot to us! Warmest regards from all of us, The Cruising Rome Team

Since we had already been to Rome, we wanted to see a different side of Italy. I’m so thankful we did! Emmanuel met us at the port and explained the day to us. We drove to see a different side of the country and got to see several historic churches and museums of the Etruscan people. It was unbelievable! He went with us to each venue and took the time to explain everything. He was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour company and Emmanuel!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly glad to hear that you enjoyed discovering a different side of Italy with us. Emmanuel will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, kindness, and passion for history helped make your day so memorable. Exploring the Etruscan heritage is a unique experience, and we're happy we could share it with you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another adventure in Italy!
Very nice day in which we could go at our own pace. Enjoyed visiting the Etruscan tombs and churches. Also had a wonderful lunch before heading back to the port.
Tarquinia and Tuscania are very interesting, but the tour provided very little information. The driver was great and very polite, as a driver - but we were expecting more of a tour with local information, etc. Driver didn't even have a lunch recommendation in Tarquinia or places to visit. We ended up having to scramble with Google to make our own "tour"
We loved the history and lack of crowds. The guides were very helpful and there was much to see. Great alternative to visiting Rome.
Michael, Thanks for your nice feedback. The Etruscan history is really interesting and is in no way inferior to the Roman History. It is also linked at the origin. thanks again
We were told a luxury sedan would pick us up. Instead it was an old mini van that picked us up and then drove us to parking lot to get into another old minivan. Hub caps missing. Our driver knew nothing.
Hello Patricia, We are vey sorry, that you didn't enjoy our service. As we know the drive told us that you decided to get back earlier from Tarquinia and ou didn't visited Tuscania, that is another important site of the excursion. Davide, your driver is one of the most experienced local driver of the City. The day of your trip we had an issue on the other veichle that's why in order to guarantee the service we picked yo up in port, and you changed veichle. Kind regards,
