We are taking our first trip to Italy, which begins with a 7-day cruise from and back to the Civitavecchia Cruise Port. Upon disembarking the ship, we will be staying three nights in Siena with plans to explore the countryside of Tuscany.
What is the best way to get from the Port to Siena? Private transfer, train? I have already booked other ground transfers through Viator. Are there other car services you would recommend?
Currently, we are looking at renting a car while in Siena so we can drive the countryside of Tuscany and explore on our own. Good or bad idea? (We both got the International Driving Permits.)
We're very excited, but now I'm getting a little anxious since we aren't familiar with the transportation system there.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
