Eternal Tours Rome

Our current Rome wine tours visit towns in the Castelli Romani region south of Rome, Castelgandolfo, and the crater lake and forests of Albano. We also offer cheese and wine tastings in Rome city centre "enoteche" too.   Each enoteca has a sommelier, typically qualified from the Association of Italian Sommeliers (AIS) based at the Rome Cavalieri Hilton, which overlooks the city from the summit of Monte Mario hill. Many bar and restaurant owners in Rome describe their premises as being an "enoteca", when in fact, where they work cannot even be called "bottiglieria", a term rarely used these days which means "seller of wine" (any wine). An enoteca works directly with local vineyards, and specializes in their produce. The enoteche we include in our wine tours of Rome offer tastings and a thorough explanation of Castelli Romani wine.

Shore excursions Rome provided by travel agencies based in the capital have become increasingly popular in the last few years. Bus tours into Rome offered by cruise lines themselves are generally very poor, and have been described as "herding". Not at all pleasant in the suffocating heat of Rome between the months of July and August. It has become all too common for us to hear tales of woe from customers who are visiting Rome for the second time to take private tours of the Vatican and other sites of historical and archaeological significance in and around the city, having missed most of them first time around on a bus tour arranged by their cruise line or tour operator back home. Our shore excursions into Rome from Civitavecchia are 100% flexible, you can choose exactly where you want to go in Rome or anywhere else, and dictate exactly how long you want to spend there. Cruise lines advise all passengers to be back on board at least 90 minutes before embarkation. Cruise...
