For archaeology buffs or those who simply wish to delve into a civilisation that is as fascinating as it is mysterious – the Etruscan civilisation – this is without a doubt the perfect tour.
In fact, Tuscia was first and foremost the homeland of the Etruscans, the ancient predecessors of the Romans in Central Italy, and the area boasts archaeological sites of inestimable value. Over a “long weekend” of 5 days and 4 nights, we’ll lead you on an exploration of necropolises, archaeological sites, ancient buried cities and artefacts of all kinds, in verdant, unspoilt natural surroundings. But, you’ll also have time to relax at the thermal baths and to enjoy delicious authentic lunches featuring local food and wine!
