Highlights
  • Infopoint di Largo della Pace - TERMINAL CRUISE SHUTTLE BUS. I’ll be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name at “Largo della Pace snc” in Civitavecchia. This is the meeting point and the final stop for the port’s free shuttle bus (the shuttle that picks you up from the boat). Transfer to Capalbio.
  • Pitigliano - Pitigliano is like something out of a fairytale: a place so deeply carved into tufa rock that it’s hard to tell where human craftsmanship ends and nature begins. Inhabited since the 12th century BC, it is also known as “the little Jerusalem” due to its large Jewish community that thrived for nearly four centuries. After visiting, you will return to Civitavecchia.
  • Montemerano - Montemerano is the hidden gem of this part of Tuscany. Built on a hill by the powerful Aldobrandeschi family, Montemerano retains the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The town is completely enclosed by walls, with entry through three gates. Inside, you can visit significant buildings such as the Church of San Giorgio (14th century), the main parish church, and the Pieve of San Lorenzo (12th century), the village’s oldest building and former parish church.
  • Cascate del Mulino - Saturnia is one of Italy’s most popular hot spring destinations. You can soak in pools that are naturally 37°C (98°F) year-round. However, the sulphur in the water produces a rotten egg smell that takes some getting used to.

Additional Information

The expedition is set to unfold in Maremma, a vast region in Tuscany that stretches to Lazio, rendering it only 1.5 hours away from Rome and 3 hours from Florence. A unique facet of Maremma is the diverse terrain it possesses: pristine expansive beaches or rugged cliffs, mountains enveloped in thick forests, lake and plains, verdant cultivated hills, and natural thermal regions. It is a timeless locale, steeped in the history of ancient civilizations with the Etruscans initially followed by the Romans, who flourished here for centuries leaving significant artifacts, as evidenced by the Etruscan sites of Pitigliano, Vulci, and the Roman city of Cosa. A portion of the shore excursion will be committed to visiting Saturnia, Cascate del Mulino, Montemerano, and Pitigliano, untouched medieval cities from the 12th century. This intimate group journey entails pick-up/drop-off from Civitavecchia with an English-fluent chauffeur, air-conditioned conveyance, and will provide intriguing historic facts and stories throughout the entire tour!

  • A minimum of 2 people per booking is required
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult

Wonderful day in Tuscany - Andrea was very courteous and pleasant! He knew his history and brought to life the small towns and plces we visited. Even with a 2 year old he was patient and let us pretty much alter the trip to our liking. It is beautful , rich with acient historical sites! Very very good!

Not what we expected - One couple in our group had signed up for a wine tasting tour with at least two wineries. The other couple had signed up for a tours that included hill towns and a lake but neither got what they expected. While the one wine tasting was great and the hill towns were great neither were really satisfied. The guide was great and did his best to deal with this blended excursion.
