Absolutely Fantastic! - This tour was a great alternative to a Rome or Civitiveccia tour, particularly if you only have one day. We were picked up in Civitiveccia near the cruise terminal; the guide drove us to Targuinea, answering our many questions as we went. Our first stop was at the Necropolis, an amazing Etrusken burial site with tombs dating 500 - 400 BC, complete with original paintings. Our guided tour continued with a walk through the lovely hilltop town with its historic walls and incredible scenic overlooks. A delicious lunch followed with wine and dishes made from local ingredients. Come hungry! We then visited the archeological museum to see the valuable vases, jewelry and so on found in the ancient tombs. Finally, we were driven back to our port stop in Civitiveccia. What a wonderful and interesting small group tour. You will love this tour...highly recommend.

Highly recommend - We spent a wonderful day with our tour guide, Andrea. He helped us explore this ancient Etruscan site that dates back before the Roman empire. We visited the Necropolis, museum, churches and other historic sites. We were taken to a ristorante near the town hall and treated to a delicious many courses lunch served with wine. This was not booked as a private tour, but we were fortunate to be the only couple to enjoy this day. We highly recommend this as an excursion from the port of Citivecchia.

Be warned.. they don’t deliver!!! - Don’t be fooled. We had this booked for months and were corresponding 3 days prior to the tour.On the day we sat for 2 hours at the pick up point to then be told there was a mistake and the tour was now Tuscany. Ironic as we had been communicating in the days prior about Tarquinia!! So it was our last day in Europe as we had just disembarked from a cruise and it was our wedding anniversary. This day was our “special day”. We disembarked early to be on time at the right location. we even contacted the tour guide and had a number of texts about pick up times and where we were to ensure things ran smoothly. Then the time of the pick up elapsed and the communication changed. We were now told they were cancelling. It was now Tuscany!! So we had a whole 13 hours to wait at an airport… totally wrong, unprofessional and unacceptable. I’m sure this review will not appear! Ironically if we cancel there is a cost… what compensation does the customer get for totally ruining a very special day??? 1 star is too much.

No Show - DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING WITH THIS COMPANY. They take your booking. They take your money. They do not show up. Compete fraud.
