Visite privée de l'histoire étrusque de Civitavecchia: Tarquinia et Tuscania
Description
Tarquinia et Tuscania sont deux joyaux de la région de Tuscia dans le centre de l'Italie. Ces villes historiques sont parfaites pour une exploration indépendante, mêlant patrimoine étrusque, architecture médiévale et paysages à couper le souffle. Remontez le temps et découvrez la riche histoire des Étrusques. L'Étrurie était autrefois une région prospère de l'Italie centrale, située dans la zone qui couvrait ce qui est maintenant le Latium, la Toscane et l'Ombrie. La plupart de ce que les gens savent de la civilisation étrusque provient de peintures et d'artefacts qui ont été mis au jour après avoir été enterrés pendant des milliers d'années. Les Étrusques migrèrent d'Asie mineure, parlèrent une langue qui reste à déchiffrer, et furent des guerriers et des marins énergiques. Apprenez tout cela et plus encore dans ce voyage privé, intéressant, passionnant, rempli de faits. Avec un chauffeur à votre disposition, planifiez votre itinéraire à l'avance pour maximiser le temps sur chaque site. Tarquinia et Tuscania sont à environ 20 minutes l'une de l'autre. Les deux villes sont assez petites pour être visitées en une journée.

Entrez dans l'histoire en explorant Tarquinia, berceau de la civilisation étrusque. Promenez-vous dans ses rues médiévales, admirez les palais nobles et découvrez les secrets de la célèbre nécropole étrusque, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Un voyage dans le temps, où l'art ancien et les vues à couper le souffle attendent.
La nécropole étrusque de Monterozzi est située à l'est de Tarquinia (Viterbe) et compte environ 6 000 tombes dont la plupart sont des espaces creusés dans la roche et surmontés d'un tumulus, la plus ancienne datant du VIIe siècle av
La magnifique église romane Sainte-Marie au château mérite un chapitre à elle seule. L'église est située dans la partie la plus ancienne de Tarquinia, où se trouvait le Castrum Cargnetum, à l'origine du noyau de l'ancienne Corneto. Pour y accéder, il faut marcher le long de la Via di Porta Castello, traverser l’ancienne porte avec la tour de Dante et la tour de Matilde di Canossa en arrière-plan. Quelques étapes à catapulter il y a 1000 ans! L'atmosphère ici est tout simplement magique, surtout la nuit lorsque les rues ne sont illuminées que par la lumière des réverbères ... l'endroit idéal pour une promenade romantique dans l'histoire.
Installé au sein du Palazzo Vitelleschi, le musée national étrusque de Tarquinia est sans aucun doute l'une des principales attractions de la ville. Le Palazzo Vitelleschi mérite une visite pour lui-même! Construit par le cardinal Giovanni Vitelleschi entre 1436 et 1439 avec un dessin de Giovanni Dalmata, grâce à la présence simultanée d’éléments gothiques et de la Renaissance et à un véritable chef-d’oeuvre architectural.
Une promenade agréable dans les rues étroites du centre historique de Tarquinia.Dans la Piazza Giacomo Matteotti où se trouve le Palazzo Comunale, la fontaine monumentale du XVIIIe siècle
La cathédrale des Saints Marguerite et Martino, construite vers 1260, est située sur la place du même nom, à quelques pas du palais Vitelleschi, et fait partie du diocèse de Civitavecchia et Tarquinia. Elevé au rang de cathédrale le 5 décembre 1435, au XVe siècle, la cathédrale fut agrandie par Mgr Bartolomeo Vitelleschi puis fut malheureusement détruite en 1643 par un terrible incendie.
Découvrez Tuscania, une charmante ville où histoire et nature se marient en parfaite harmonie. Promenez-vous dans ses rues médiévales, admirez la superbe basilique de San Pietro et admirez la vue imprenable sur la campagne toscianique. Un voyage inoubliable dans l'âme de l'ancien Latium.
Basé dans le monastère franciscain fondé en 1247, adjacent à l'église de s. Maria del Riposo. La première section du musée a été ouverte en 1988; se compose de 4 salles au rez-de-chaussée où expose le complexe funéraire de noble période hellénistique (IV-II sec.a.C.). Les ensembles funéraires de trois tombes rupestres de la famille Curunas revêtent une importance particulière: à côté des sarcophages nenfro avec couvercles restituenti tout autour de la figure du défunt, du faliscan, les céramiques sont en cérétane, vulcenti et / ou tarquiniesi et chiusine. D'importance particulière dans les matériaux liés au banquet mondial du bronze ou du féminin. En 1997 ont été ouverts au public 2 salles à l'étage, l'une dédiée à l'histoire du monastère et de l'ancien centre de Tuscania, l'autre aux témoignages les plus anciens de la nécropole (VIIème siècle avant JC). La prochaine étape est l'ouverture de nouvelles sections d'exposition.

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. It’s wonderful to know that the itinerary, communication, and pace of the day all met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation — it means a lot to us. 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
Very nice and relaxed tour. Flexible and personable driver/guide. Beautiful area with panoramic views.

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,
