Dear Traveller, I would like to welcome you to fascinating Tuscia, the heartland of the mysterious Etruscans. This area is just inland from the Civitavecchia/Rome port and its main city is the medieval town of Viterbo, once home to the popes. I moved here with my Finnish wife, Susanna, more than 20 years ago and we were happily taken by surprise by the sheer beauty and cultural richness of our new home place. But we were equally astonished to find very few tourists here. This is still nowadays very much the case, because most tourists choose nearby Rome or Florence. But I can assure you that those who did come here have not regretted it. I am by profession a international legal consultant working exclusively for a Rome-based United Nations Agency. Fortunately my work leaves me enough time for my passions: exploring together with visitors the wonders of the place we live in and our very lively music association. So please, let me tell you something about the Tuscia area: it is a lush-green hilly area just north of Rome and bordering the Tirrenean sea to the west, Tuscany in the north and Umbria to the east. As most places it is full of vibrant history, especially etruscan, medieval and renaissance history. The climate and food here are exceptional. I am specializing in full or half day tours for small groups, in which lunch at a very interesting private location, a cooking class or even an opera show can be included. I grew up in the Netherlands, where I graduated from law school. Since 12 years I am a licensed guide for the province of Viterbo. I am also a lawyer and are been employed as a consultant to a Rome-based U.N. organization. None

Enjoy Bolsena Lake-Civita di Bagnoregio with a private guide!
Overview of your Viterbo tour
We will drive through my favorite places, the great Etruscan towns of Tarquinia and Tuscania and through the lush countryside to Bolsena, which is a charming medieval town on the shore of Europe's largest Vulcan lake. Bolsena is on the pilgrimage road to Rome and a visit to St. Cristina is a must. I will tell you about the miracle of Corpus Domini and have a coffee in the central square with local people. From there we will make a short trip to the famous and fascinating "dying town" Civita di Bagnoregio, which can be reached only by foot over a bridge. The town is slowly disappearing because it is perched on a rock that is sliding into the surrounding valley. After this unique experience, we will proceed through the beautiful winery landscape and discover the hilltop town Montefiascone with its local winery and have lunch with local products and out of mamma's kitchen. On our way back we'll drive through the beautiful historical center of Viterbo, home, in the past, to popes and emperors.
