Additional Information

Located near the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tarquinia, the birthplace of the Etruscan civilization, maintains a historical continuum from the famous Etruscan legend of Tagete till today.

The city, influential and renowned in the Etruscan era, was perched atop the Civita hill.

This location was the hometown of three of Rome’s seven kings, namely Tarquinio Prisco, Numa Pompilius, and Tarquinius Superbus. Post its destruction, the modern town was constructed on the nearby hill.

Medieval Tarquinia flourished again, reflected in the towering edifices, the understated yet classy Romanesque churches, and the robust walls. This tour mandates a minimum of 6 travellers. Note that all museums in Italy remain closed on Mondays for day off.

Shore excursion - We had booked 2 vans to accommodate the large group , unfortunately the driver cum guide of one of the vans spoke no English so we could not get any information as we drove around! We got the other driver from the other car to call in and give us a live commentary which was unclear and not loud enough to hear so a little frustrated with that experience
