5.00Excellent tour. Learned a lot about the ancient and modern history of Civitavecchia and had a very knowledgeable guide, Tonya, who was able to explain the monuments and their importance to the area. Along the way, we visited several eating establishments and were able to taste some of the local foods. It was an excellent tour all around and we really enjoyed it.

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful day with Roberta. We looked at the options for excursions, but did not want to spend our time in port traveling to Rome, since we had already visitors the major sites. We did not know the history of Civitavecchia. We enjoyed walking the streets talking about the history and enjoying the food and drinks. There is a lot of food, so come hungry and get ready to have a wonderful relaxing day. The people at each stop were very friendly. The tour operator does a great job communicating the meeting spot and had signs when we exited the gate. We also had time at the end of our day to take our time returning to the ship.
Super Tour

5.00We had an amazing city tour with our guide Raf. She is a local guide here in town. Her passion for the history really shines. We had opportunities to eat at local spots and completed the tour with the cities history. I was so happy to find this tour as we didn’t want to see Rome but the city we departed from. If you’re staying in town this city tour is well worth your time!
Excellent food and history tour

5.00Our guide Roberta was amazing. We learned how important Civitavecchia was to Italy throughout history as a trading and defensive port. We also saw the oldest church in Civitavechia, Church of Saint Mary of the Prayer. The four food stops provided us with samples of delicious Italian cuisine and we thoroughly enjoyed the informative tour.
