Can any one give us any tours or tour companies that do a day tour not to Rome we have been to Rome already and will be on the Noordam in June. We are looking for something different to do.

Last fall we rented a car from Hertz for the day. Office is just down the street from the train station. Cost all in was aprox. 60 euros. (Insurance, taxes etc.)

 

Had a great time touring the area, stopping for lunch and various side trips.

 

There are probably organized tours, but for the cost we saw what we wanted, on our schedule. Took a GPS with local maps down-loaded from Garmin, but Hertz had units for rent. They gave us some basic ideas of what to see and we customized a route to suit us. Roads well marked and no insane drivers.

 

Just an option if you have a little spirit of adventure.

The private companies will meet you in Civi - no problem and there's lots of things to do besides go to Rome - Etruscan ruins for one. A bit of looking at the ports boards and even looking at Hal's different tours will give you a good idea.:D Lots of wonderful things to see and beautiful country close by:D

We did a ship's tour out into the countryside from Civitavecchia. Part of the tour was to a resort/spa set in a farm that had vineyards and olive groves. We got to taste their products while we sat on an awning-covered verandah surrounded by lovely peaceful scenery. It was a nice alternative to the more hectic pace of a tour to Rome.

 

This was through Cunard, so HAL might offer something similar. Or you could look for a tour company that does wine-tasting tours.

We took the same cruise last year and booked a tour to Tivoli to visit the two villas there.. one of our best excursions ever. Another option is to visit Ostia Antica. Both of these are accessible from Civitavecchia and a possibility would be to visit them on your way to Rome unless you are returning to Civitavecchia. In that case I would hire a local transfer company rather than one that has to come from Rome to pick you up.

Thank you for your replies we are on a 33 day cruise from Istanbul to Barcelona and have the on day in CIVITAVECCHIA. But as we have been to Rome we are looking for something else to see.

Cheers

When we had one day in Civi a couple of years ago, and didn't want to go to Rome, we took a HAL shorex that took us to Castelgandolfo, some catacombs and a lunch and pasta-making demonstration at an "agrotourismo" farm/restaurant. It was a nice day.

In that case you can't go wrong by visiting Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este in Tivoli. Google Tivoli and see what I mean.

We had a wonderful tour of the Etruscan tombs, incredible museum in Tarquinia, and a splendid luncheon in a tiny village. The countryside was so peaceful. A great day. We hired Romeinlimo for this and several tours.
