Tour privato di storia etrusca da Civitavecchia: Tarquinia e Tuscania
Descrizione
Tarquinia e Tuscania sono due gioielli della Tuscia, nel centro Italia. Queste città storiche sono perfette per un'esplorazione indipendente, mescolando patrimonio etrusco, architettura medievale e paesaggi mozzafiato. Torna indietro nel tempo e scopri la ricca storia degli Etruschi. L'Etruria era un tempo una fiorente regione dell'Italia centrale, situata nell'area che copriva quello che oggi è Lazio, Toscana e Umbria. La maggior parte di ciò che la gente sa della civiltà etrusca proviene da dipinti e manufatti che sono stati portati alla luce dopo essere stati sepolti per migliaia di anni. Gli Etruschi migrarono dall'Asia minore, parlavano una lingua che deve ancora essere decifrata, ed erano energici guerrieri e marinai. Scopri tutto questo e molto altro in questo interessante, emozionante, ricco di fatti, viaggio privato. Con un autista a tua disposizione, pianifica il tuo percorso in anticipo per massimizzare il tempo in ogni sito. Tarquinia e Tuscania distano tra loro circa 20 minuti. Entrambe le città sono abbastanza piccole da visitare in un giorno.

Entra nella storia mentre esploriamo Tarquinia, la culla della civiltà etrusca. Passeggia per le sue strade medievali, ammira palazzi nobiliari e scopri i segreti della famosa Necropoli Etrusca, patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. Un viaggio nel tempo, dove ti aspettano arte antica e panorami mozzafiato.
La necropoli etrusca di Monterozzi si trova su un altopiano a est di Tarquinia (Viterbo) e conta con circa 6.000 tombe, la maggior parte dei quali scavate nella roccia e sormontate da tumuli, le più antiche risalenti al VII secolo aC
La splendida chiesa romanica di Santa Maria in castello merita un capitolo a parte. La chiesa è situata nella parte più antica di Tarquinia, dove si trovava il Castrum Cargnetum, originando il nucleo dell'antico Corneto. Per raggiungerlo, bisogna percorrere Via di Porta Castello, attraversare l'antica porta con la Torre di Dante e la Torre di Matilde di Canossa sullo sfondo. Alcuni passi per essere catapultati 1000 anni fa! L'atmosfera qui è semplicemente magica, specialmente di notte quando le strade sono illuminate solo dalla luce dei lampioni ... il luogo ideale per una passeggiata romantica nella storia.
Ospitato all'interno di Palazzo Vitelleschi, il Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Tarquinia è senza dubbio tra le principali attrazioni della città. Il Palazzo Vitelleschi merita una visita per sé! Costruito dal cardinale Giovanni Vitelleschi tra il 1436 e il 1439 su progetto di Giovanni Dalmata, grazie alla presenza simultanea di elementi gotici e rinascimentali e un vero capolavoro architettonico.
Una bella passeggiata tra i vicoli del Centro Storico di Tarquinia. In Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, dove si trova il Palazzo Comunale, la monumentale fontana settecentesca
La Cattedrale dei Santi Margherita e Martino, costruita intorno al 1260, si trova nella piazza omonima a pochi passi da Palazzo Vitelleschi e fa parte della diocesi di Civitavecchia e Tarquinia. Rialzata al grado di Cattedrale il 5 dicembre 1435, nel corso del XV secolo la cattedrale fu ampliata dal vescovo Bartolomeo Vitelleschi, poi distrutta nel 1643 da un terribile incendio.
Scopri Tuscania, una città affascinante dove storia e natura si fondono in perfetta armonia. Passeggia per le sue strade medievali, ammira la splendida Basilica di San Pietro e ammira panorami mozzafiato sulla campagna della Tuscia. Un viaggio indimenticabile nell’anima del Lazio antico.
Con sede nel monastero francescano fondato nel 1247, adiacente alla Chiesa di s. Maria del Riposo. La prima sezione del museo fu aperta nel 1988; consiste di 4 stanze al piano terra dove espone il complesso funerario del nobile periodo ellenistico (IV-II sec.a.C.). Di particolare importanza sono il complesso funerario di tre tombe rupestri della famiglia Curunas: accanto ai sarcofagi nenfro con coperchi restituenti a tutto tondo la figura del defunto, falisco, le ceramiche sono ceretane, vulcenti e / o tarquiniesi e chiusine. Di particolare importanza nei materiali relativi al banchetto mondiale di bronzo o femminile. Nel 1997 furono aperte al pubblico 2 sale al piano superiore, una dedicata alla storia del monastero e al centro storico di Tuscania, l'altra alle più antiche testimonianze della necropoli (VII secolo aC). Prossima è l'apertura di nuove sezioni espositive.
Arriva con stile al Porto di Civitavecchia con i nostri esperti autisti, pronti a rendere il tuo viaggio indimenticabile.

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,
