Ancient Roman Roots & Renaissance Giants: The Roman Dock & Michelangelo Fortress.
Walk through the ancient harbor built by the Roman Emperor Trajan. Stand before the towering Forte Michelangelo, a majestic Renaissance fortress designed by the same legendary architects who built St. Peter’s Basilica.

The Medieval Hidden Gems: Piazza Leandra & Old Town.
Escape the crowds as we guide you through the city’s oldest defensive walls into Piazza Leandra. This tiny, charming medieval square holds a stunning artistic surprise hidden right in plain sight.

Lively Market Crawl & Fresh Pizza: Mercato di Civitavecchia.
Immerse yourself in the sights and aromas of our bustling daily market. See where locals source their fresh ingredients, sample pizza and supplì from trusted local vendors.

Premium Wine & Food Tasting Finale: Downtown Celebration.
We wrap up our journey with a sit-down tasting at a highly-rated local favorite. Relax and feel pampered with a beautifully presented board of gourmet regional specialties, accompanied by excellent local wine.

Great time with Roberta We were in Civitavecchia for a day before leaving on a cruise and decided to take this tour. Roberta met us at our hotel and took us on walk through the city. She had so much historical information to share with us and was very enthusiastic about it. We had a very nice day with her and enjoyed our stop for gelato and a delicious charcuterie and glass of wine.

Misleading Roberta, our tour guide, was very nice, engaging, and quick to smile. The tour name is a little misleading. If you are a History Buff and want to know about Civitavecchia's history, the five tribes, development of the Port, Roman influences and things of that nature, it's great. However if you think it's about a walking tour that includes just restaurants, bistros, cafes, and other eating/dining experiences this is not it. The tour included a stop for gelato and at the end, a final stop at "MyLord" restaurant which includes a wonderful, boxed charcuterie. Food Tasty Walking Tour - no, History - yes.

Fantastic cookery class in Civitavecchia My husband and I didn’t fancy going into Rome on our recent cruise as it was so hot, so we decided to book this fantastic cookery class. Federico was a wonderful teacher and host who accommodated our dietary needs (that I had forgotten to tell him about before hand) without any fuss. We made some delicious dishes including an authentic bolognaise sauce, gnocchi, grilled eggplant, tomato and mozzarella and tiramisu in his wonderful cool kitchen. His lovely partner, Tracy made us feel very welcome too. Tracy makes bags and bracelets and let us choose one each. I choose a lovely bright pink bag to use for the beach - the colour really pops! And is a great reminder of the time we spent with them. If we’re ever in Civitavecchia again we’ll definitely book another class! Thank you Federico and Tracy!

Time well spent in an awesome little town. The tour was wonderful. Roberta did an excellent job showing us around and telling us about Civitavecchia’s history. Small personal tours are definitely the way to go. Thanks again Roberta.

A pleasant way to pass a few hours The guide did as best possible , just don’t expect much as there is not much to see. The tasting was limited to one tasting experience, which was really good.

Fantastic Tour Alessia did a fabulous job! She showed us all the major highlights of Civitavecchia and explained everything so well answering all of our questions. We stopped for pastries and cappuccino and had a fabulous sampling of wine, cheeses, meats, and olives (enough that it was lunch) at a cute café. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Learn, walk and eat Since I have been to Rome before, I wanted to try something local and cultural. I was not disappointed! Roberta was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. She was fun to spend the morning with, sharing stories and the history of Civitavecchia with such pride and excitement. Our group was small, only three of us, so we got to talk more about our experiences. Enjoying a morning cafe and pastry and ending with a charcuterie plate. I think we had a more personalized tour, like walking with friends. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Civitavecchia food and history tour, instead of Rome for a day We had a lovely afternoon with Alessia! She gave us a great history of Civitavecchia and took us to a few great food spots. I highly recommend this tour for a relaxing day with a little history and food.

Nice Personalized Cooking Class This was a very enjoyable 5 hour experience! We fist walked through a very busy market, where tour guide Massimiliano stopped to purchase a few items for the cooking class. We then went on to a little restuarant where Owner/Chef Patrice walked us through a hands on, multi-course lunch preparation, making everything from scratch. Mass served as our interpreter and offered insights into Patrice (who does not speak English) and her business.

Wonderful Adventure Fabulous time getting to see the city and cooking/eating great food. Our guide was wonderful in his knowledge of the local area, the Italian culture and in providing us the right level of information. He made it fun and real. Cooking class was a blast - truly a great experience.

We booked this tour to get an overview of the city. Anna met us at our accommodation and took us all over the city. She really brought the history alive. We had been to Civitavecchia twice before, but had no idea just how much history there was. The tour was utterly fascinating and I learned so much. The food we got to taste was absolutely amazing, too.

En primer lugar conocer la ciudad, que a pesar a haber estado varias veces anteriormente, no había conocido todo lo que ví. Además excelente labor de la guía, Natalina, quien no solamente nos habló de su ciudad sino que también nos llevó x lugares a los que los turistas no accedemos normalmente. En segundo lugar, el excelente tentempié a media mañana (refrigerios y pasteles), y mención especial al “lunch” ofrecido en un restaurante, donde nos ofrecieron un baúl lleno de exquisiteces y regado con un vino blanco.

A fascinating, very tasty walking tour!
We had an excellent walking tour with Alessa recently. She was extremely informative and interesting and we learned so much about Civitavecchia, it’s history and what it is like today. At the 2 stops we had the most delicious food, far more than we expected. I would really recommend this as a great alternative to travelling into Rome for cruise passengers, particularly if like us you have done this previously.

Great overview of the city
We arrived in Italy in the morning and had booked this tour for late afternoon. It was the perfect way to see Civitavecchia, learn its history, taste some food and enjoy a lovely day in Italy. We walked through the various sections of the city, saw the important places and enjoyed our guide’s pictures of how things looked in the past.. The last tasting at My Lord was truly special. We highly recommend the tour.

We had a crew of eight people. 4 adults, one teenage, 8 year old and twin 3 year olds. Our guide Roberta was fantastic with entertained everyone. Such a great personality! We were recently in Rome and did not want to spend our limited time in the port on a bus. So this tour was just the ticket! Definitely recommend.

Great food great knowledge
We had a wonderful and educational tour of the port area and ancient city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Probably the best part was the final tasting at MyLord. What a fantastic treat. I do t want to give away the surprise but I will say that it was truly a treasure! If you you have a few hours, make this your choice for something to eat and learn some history too!’

We opted to stay in Civitavecchia instead of visiting Rome (Good Friday crazy with crowds) on this cruise ship stop. Our tour guide, Louisiana, was great! The history of Civitavecchia, especially the war-time history, is fascinating and shouldn’t be forgotten. It’s a lovely and walkable city. We learned a lot and we really enjoyed the treats and food, which was delicious and plentiful.

If you’re looking for something a bit different – this is it!

Luisiana was a wonderful guide! The tour was a great way to spend the morning before boarding our cruise ship. We learned some interesting history about Civitavecchia, enjoyed some delicious pastries and cappuccino, and ended with some wine and a plate of delicious meats and cheeses. Definitely recommend this tour if you only have a short time to spend in Civitavecchia.

We had a great time with Roberta, our tour guide, in Civitavecchia. The history of the port city was fascinating and the food was truly tasty. Our last official stop was MyLord restaurant where we had a relaxing lunch with excellent wine.
An added treat, not on the itinerary, was a visit to Santa Maria Dell’ Orazione, the oldest Catholic Church in Civitavecchia.
The meeting point, “Largo della Pace” can be crowded depending on the number of cruise ships that are in port. But we were able to meet up without any issue. If you are coming into port on a ship, allow enough time to catch the shuttle bus and get over to the info center.

Civitavecchia, what i thought was just a cruise port stop, I now know is so much more. This tour was amazing. Our tour guide “Raf” (Rafaela) was pure charm. She had a zeal for sharing and gave us such insight into the history of this wonderful town.

There is a lot of walking, but at a good pace and plenty of opportunities to rest. The only way to immerse yourself into the history.

And the food tasting, what a delight! We had a typical Italian breakfast. (I would love to know the recipes to recreate these treats at home). The pizza, so amazing! And lastly an afternoon apéritif including wine and a sampling of local bread, cheeses, meats, olives, and fried vegetables…..perfection.

Absolutely loved this tour and our tour guide. I would take this tour again and most certainly ask for Raf.
