We had booked 2 vans to accommodate the large group , unfortunately the driver cum guide of one of the vans spoke no English so we could not get any information as we drove around! We got the other driver from the other car to call in and give us a live commentary which was unclear and not loud enough to hear so a little frustrated with that experience

weekend dei Santi a Tarquinia, meraviglioso sito Unesco consigliabile per la necropoli: unico esempio di tombe etrusche affrescate esistenti e il museo con la coppia di cavalli alati etruschi e vasi greci stupendi ritrovati integri all'interno delle tombe; molto interessante anche escursione alla vicina Tuscania con esempi di chiese romaniche intatte sia nella facciata che nell'interno. cucina tradizionale deliziosa, cortesia sia presso gli uffici del turismo e musei sia presso luoghi di ristorazione
