Wonderful tour and guide - Erna was a wonderful tour guide. She picked us up on time. She is polite and helpful. She gave us as much time as we wanted at all the stops. We didn't have to do much walking because she drove us. The lunch was really good and very filling. We had wine and an after lunch drink. Erna made sure we were back to our ship in plenty of time. I don't know why Princess doesn't include a visit to the tombs as this is Unesco. But I'm sure glad Erna's family company includes it all and for a good price!

Unique day trip from Civitavecchia - This tour was beyond our expectations. Having been to Rome several times we wanted a new experience. Thought this sounded intriguing and it really was. We were picked up promptly at the port and our guide was knowledgeable and professional. We learned so much about the Etruscans and enjoyed visiting the historic town of Tarquinia. Can’t believe our cruise line doesn’t include a similar excursion on their itinerary. If you have a day in Civitavecchia I highly recommend this excursion!

Best Way to Travel! - Our guide Mirko was fantastic--extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of our trip, down to choosing the best food pairings for lunch! Lots of walking and steps in the old city, the museum, and the Etruscan site, but well worth it. Picked up and dropped off to our local hotel right on time, and would gladly do a similar excursion in the future.

Avoid....they cancelled our excursion with a 1 1/2 hr notice - Cancelled our ship excursion with literally 1 1/2 hrs notice! Reason? Vehicle problems. Not a reputable company, with no spare vehicle! Or was it because there wasnt enough tourist booked? We had no time to even plan the day, pais thousands to go on vacation and this day got ruined! Avoid this company like the plaque, or risk losing your valuable day!

Disaster!!! - Was totally unorganized and the “guide” was inexperienced. We were dropped off with no explanation at all. We really could have just taken a bus on our own and not play $420. I will not recommend this to anyone!
