About this tour
A nine-hour private drive through Lazio's countryside, visiting three distinct historical periods without a guide. You'll see the Renaissance Odescalchi Castle overlooking Lake Bracciano, explore the Medieval fortress-village of Ceri where you can lunch locally, and venture into Cerveteri's Etruscan necropolis. Your English-speaking driver stays with the Mercedes while you wander independently through each site, leaving you free to set your own pace and linger where it appeals.
Highlights
- Odescalchi Castle perched above Lake Bracciano's shores
- Medieval hilltop town of Ceri with local dining
- Etruscan burial chambers at Banditaccia Necropolis
- Air-conditioned Mercedes with professional chauffeur
- Flexibility to spend time as you wish at each stop
- Three centuries of Italian history in one day
What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to three locations across the Lazio countryside. At each stop, your driver drops you at the entrance—entry fees are on you. Odescalchi Castle overlooks the lake from its hilltop vantage; explore the grounds and views at your leisure. Ceri is a compact Medieval village where you can eat at local trattorias and wander narrow streets. The Banditaccia Necropolis in Cerveteri requires a separate ticket and involves walking amongst carved Etruscan tombs. Your driver remains available by the vehicle, ready to collect you when you're done. Bring comfortable walking shoes and water (though bottled water is provided).
Good to know
Entry tickets to all three sites are not included and must be purchased separately. This is a chauffeur service, not a guided tour—your driver speaks English but won't lead walks or provide site commentary. Book lunch in Ceri ahead if possible. Prams and infant seats available. Suitable for all fitness levels, though Cerveteri involves moderate walking over uneven ground.
