Ancient Etruscan Civilization Tour From Rome

If you go on any tour at all ask for Alex Paolini. I am a doddering old lady and he was endlessly patient, taking me to extra places not mentioned in guide books, such as the tiny village of Ceri, and supplying a footstool for me to get in and out of his car.

Salvatore was an amazing driver, guide and host. He knew every detail of the history of the area and answered every question we had. I can’t say enough good about him. Thank you Salvatore for a great day!

Our visit to Cerveteri was spectacular -- a slice of ancient history that should not be missed. Lake Bracciano and the Odescalchi Renaissance Castle were sweet bonuses. Best Rome Driver is a terrific organization. Our driver, Livio, and the reservationist, Serena, were TOP NOTCH.

Alex Poalini was our guide on this trip that took us first to Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, a medieval castle that once served as fortress and home to the Orsini family - contemporaries of the Medici and the Borgia It was followed by a delicious lunch at a restaurant in the little town of Ceri recommended by Alex, that served all homemade foods before visiting the Necropolis della Banditaccia. These areas share a fascinating history of the ancient Etruscans conveyed to us by our excellent guide. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Etruscan and/or medieval history.

We had a wonderful experience using Best Rome Driver! From the beginning, Alessio was very helpful in setting up our airport transfers as well as modifying the Etruscan day Tour to include our request to include a stop at Lake Bracciano. We found the pricing for the transfers and tour very reasonable. Also, upon our arrival, we had several flight delays. Alessio answered my emails timely and to ensure us that a driver would meet us and not to worry. It gave us great peace of mind as we were also traveling with our almost 2 year old. Our driver for our airport transfers was Alex. He was ready and waiting when we arrived and was prompt to our Air BnB for our departure. He was very friendly and an excellent driver. We were concerned that we didn't schedule our departure pick up early enough, but he ensured us he would get us there on time. He surely did! My husband was very satisfied with the route Alex took as it was much faster than what he expected. For our day tour to the Tombs of Cerveteri and Lake Bracciano, our driver was Giuliano. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable! At the Tombs of Cerveteri, he helped us to purchase our tickets and waited for us while we explored the Necropolis. Our next stop was the Orsini Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano. Again, he guided us to the entrance and waited. Following the Castle, he took us to a lovely restaurant down by the lake. The restaurant had a beautiful view of Lake Bracciano and the castle in the distance. Unfortunately, our 2 year old was terrified by a few cats that roamed the outdoor patio and we had to order our food to go. Since our day was cut short, Giuliano was gracious enough to make a suggestion to make a quick stop at The Janiculum Hill so that we could get pictures overlooking Rome. It was a beautiful and appreciated stop to end the day. Use Best Rome Driver and you won't be disappointed!
