Overview
This is a full day tour that explores the countryside just north of Rome which is home to some of the most beautiful countryside in Italy and some of the most magnificent Renaissance gardens like the Villa Lante. Instead of driving into Rome which is 1.5 hours (on a good traffic day) from Civitavecchia, why not experience the beauty of the Italian countryside on this full day tour and make Rome a part of a holiday that you can enjoy at leisure?
Our tour from the port of Civitavecchia (the port outside of Rome) is a tour that no other company offers and we recommend it to people as an alternative to visiting Rome from here, since getting in and out of Rome is not only time consuming, but also very expensive. It's about a 3 hour round trip journey from your cruise into Rome and we really recommend if you have more time to take a Roman holiday and not just visit the city as part of an off-shore excursion.
On this tour, we visit the Villa Lante , some of the most remarkable gardens in the Lazio region and one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance garden works. The gardens are enormous and beautiful at every angle.
During the day, we also visit Tarquinia and Viterbo, which are 2 beautiful medieval villages which offer sweeping views over the countryside.
Want to stop for local cuisine? Your driver-guide will recommend some incredibly well-priced local Trattorias (family run restaurants) where you can savor some of the most authentic and delicious pasta at a fraction of the cost you would pay in Rome.
We guarantee to have you back at your cruise ship for departure time. Just let us know your cruise ship name when you make the booking.

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]
