This guided day trip features Orvieto,
an ancient Umbrian hill town dramatically situated
atop volcanic tufa rock. Your private tour of Orvieto, a charming medieval
town features a beautiful Gothic cathedral
and chapel where pilgrims and art lovers alike
come to see Luca Signorelli's colorful frescoes
vividly depicting the Apocalypse. Orvieto
is just as interesting below ground as it is
above, with Etruscan and medieval caves, and
the underground remains of an old olive press,
for example. Orvieto is also famous for
its museums, ceramics, and wines (most notably
the Orvieto Classico). You will
also tour the village of Civita di
Bagnoregio in Lazio. Founded
by the Etruscans over 2,500 years ago, this
town has seen its population dwindle to just
fifteen residents, earning its unfortunate
nickname “the dying town.” You
will walk across a 900-foot-long bridge to
reach this earthquake-prone village, only accessible
by foot.
