Things to do in

Cerveteri

Discover the city of Tarquinia and visit the UNESCO world heritage site of the Etruscan necropolis, containing tombs painted more than 3000 years ago, with the help of your local guide. Learn about the extraordinary artwork in the tombs, which predates the Romans and gives unique insight into the ancient culture and daily lives of the Etruscan people.  Leave the necropolis, and follow your guide to one of the most impressive museums on the Etruscans, located in the spectacular Palazzo Vitelleschi. Continue your discovery of Etruscan life and see items of pottery, arts and crafts which have previously been displayed in New York and Paris.  Finish your time in Tarquinia by relaxing and enjoying an authentic Italian lunch, in a traditional local restaurant. Savor the unique and dazzling flavours of the Lazio region, for the perfect end to your day of discovery. Upgrade the default tour option to also explore the underground city of Etruscopolis and see a massive underground quarry from the 4th-century BC featuring recreations of Etruscan homes and see what life was like in a time before the Romans.

Enjoy the comfort and convenience of hotel pickup and private transportation to the gorgeous countryside surrounding Rome. Get off the beaten path and out of the city to experience the region as a whole. Sit back and relax as your English-speaking driver takes you from stop to stop and explore each site at your own pace while your driver waits for you in the car.  Head first to Castello Orsini-Odescalchi Castle, a famous Renaissance castle perched on the shore of Lake Bracciano. Admire the view of one of the largest and best maintained castles in Italy before strolling by the water of the volcanic lake. Then drive to the ancient Medieval hilltop fortress of Ceri and enjoy a gourmet local treat in the historic surroundings. Learn about ancient Etruscan civilization at the Banditaccia Necropolis in Cerverteri. Check out the impressive frescoes decorating the collection of thousands of tombs–many of which are underground. At the end of the day, get driven back to your accommodation in Rome.
