Tour durch die antike etruskische Zivilisation ab Rom

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!

On an overcast day in mid-November we embarked on The Ancient Etruscan Civilization Tour from Rome. We were picked up at our centrally located hotel in Rome at the appointed time and returned to the hotel at the appointed time. Before the tour, Alex, the driver was in touch with us via cell phone text advising us that he was on his way and would be at the hotel at the appointed time. This is truly a marvelous tour for any lover of ancient history. We visited Etruscan tombs and quaint hill-top towns, and had a delicious lunch in one of the most unique villages. We also visited the medieval Castle of Bracciano built by the Orsini family. It is a massive example of a late medieval fortification. Alex, our driver from Best Rome Driver Private Tours, was wonderful. In addition to being punctual, professional, and knowledgeable, he was kind and patient. He anticipated our needs and eagerly so to it that they were met. For example, he overheard my husband and I commenting to each other that we would have to purchase bottled water somewhere, and I mentioned that I would like to buy some good Italian cheese to take home. Alex made sure that these wishes and other requests were accomplished; we are enjoying the cheese now. While we were investigating the tombs and the castle, he insisted that we carry his extra cell phone in case we had a question or needed information. This made me feel that much more comfortable as the tombs in particular were on a network of paths that twisted and turned. We were indeed fortunate to have Alex as our driver / guide for this amazing full day tour. When we return to Rome, we will most definitely request his services again. Thank you Best Rome Driver Private Tours.
