Outstanding tour - We absolutely loved our relaxing day with our guide, Erna. We first stopped at the Etruscan tombs and visited on our own. We then went to the beautiful town of Tarquinia, where Erna showed us the fabulous sites. We had a delicious meal at a small Italian restaurant and then drove back to the cruise port. It was a memorable day.

Very nice day in Tarquinia. - The visit was fantastic. Taruinia is very well and the guide, Mirko, has been the one who has done it like this. A guide and a very nice, close and expert excursion partner.

a nice hike - Apart from an initial difficulty to find us at the meeting point, the excursion went very well, first visit of the necropolis, then walk in the old town with Guide and finally very interesting museum

Live Etruscans - Bellissimo. I could see things I had only studied in books. That was 18 years ago. Would stay there more often. Impressive to see how they painted 2500 years ago. Little is known about the Etruschi.consiglio to bring the children and explain what they see

Amazing Experience - We had the most fabulous day. We were the only ones on this tour and Andre did not cancel even though it was a public holiday and a last minute booking. Andre was knowledgeable and sensitive to our interests. He gave us do many insights into the Etruscan’s lifestyle. He also recommended the most delicious place for Lunch where we were treated to a special menu with wine for a very reasonable price. Would thoroughly recommend this tour if you are at all interested in visiting a truly magical place.

Tarquinia - mid-Sept, 2023 - This was a nice alternative for a cruise stop in Civitatavecchia instead of a schlep into Rome. The tour guide lives in Tarquinia and was very knowledgeable about the city's history and the Etruscans. The city predates Rome and was very interesting. There was a lot of walking on a hot day, and I was the only person taking the tour. Most companies would have canceled due to not enough participants (this happened to me with three other booked tours), so I was glad this one proceeded as planned.

MyloveItaly co. aren't trustworthy - Believe the reviews on MyloveItaly tour company. I gave them the benefit of doubt AND they also didn't show up for our tour. One minute before we were to leave everyone received a text saying it was cancelled. It would have been nice, no respectful, to tell us ahead of time so we could have made alternate plans. This was the place I really wanted to see on our trip. Big disappointment

Terrible company! Awful experience! - We had multiple tours booked through Viator but never dealt with such an awful and unreliable company as MyloveItaly Travel.
We were looking forward to seeing Etruscan Site in Tarquinia on May 9, 2024. We came to the meeting point on time, but the guide was not there. The meeting place is very small, so we couldn't miss him/her. We called this company multiple times and left a text on their phone listed on our ticket, but nobody responded.
We called Viator rep, but he couldn't reach anybody at this company. So he offered us a refund which we received in a while. But MyloveItaly never contacted us with any explanation or apology.
Needless to say, our day in Civitavecchia was ruined.

Totally irresponsible - This was by far the worst tour I have ever taken on Viator. We booked several months ago for the 10:25 tour and got confirmation the day before, the tour but once we got to the meeting spot there wasn’t anyone there from the tour company. I had to turn my cell data on and call them. They said they were sending someone in a white car. After about 15 minutes later she parked around the corner and my husband noticed and went to make sure that was our guide. Total wait time 40 minutes.
The tour started off ok with a trip to the necropolis, but then the lady, Irna, dropped us is town with another younger lady, Sara, who was sprinting though the town and up and down stairs, although I have had a recent injury and need to walk with a cane. It was only 3 of in the group, so there was no need to hurry. She did not accompany us in the museum although the signs were only in Italian.
The crowning blow however, was there wasn’t any private transportation on the way back. We were put on a public to be taken to Civitavecchia. The guide did not accompany us and the dropoff point was not the same place as the pickup point ( where the cruise ship shuttle busses were). We started walking looking for the shuttle busses and no one we asked knew where they were. After an hour walking through the terminals getting hopelessly lost, I had to call the agent listed on the cruise ship flyer and he called a taxi for me that cost 35E Truthfully I was so happy to get that taxi, I would have paid more.
This company is completely irresponsible picking us up 40 minutes late, and even more egregious, sending us on our way without supervision or at least directions.
