About this tour
A private eight-hour drive through Umbria and Tuscany, combining three distinct stops: the clifftop village of Civita di Bagnoregio, perched on eroding tuff and reachable only by footbridge; the medieval hilltop town of Orvieto with its ornate cathedral; and the wine country around Montepulciano, where you'll taste four regional reds in a historic cellar. Luxury transport and a dedicated guide included throughout.
Highlights
- Traverse the narrow pedestrian bridge to Civita di Bagnoregio's isolated plateau
- Four-wine tasting in a centuries-old Montepulciano enoteca with local charcuterie
- Orvieto Cathedral's ornate Gothic façade and interior frescoes
- Panoramic views across eroded badlands from the village's edge
- Private chauffeur and English-speaking escort for the full day
- Free time to wander Civita's narrow lanes without a schedule
What to expect
You'll be collected from Rome and driven to Civita di Bagnoregio first, where a guide leads you across the dramatic footbridge and through the pedestrian streets of this slowly-crumbling settlement. Next is Orvieto's cathedral, where your guide walks you through the main basilica (dress code enforced: covered shoulders and knees). Then it's south to Montepulciano's wine country, where you'll spend an hour in a traditional cellar tasting four different local reds alongside regional cheeses and cured meats. Expect some uphill walking on uneven ground, particularly in the villages. The journey totals roughly eight to nine hours door-to-door.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip for cobblestones and the pedestrian bridge. The cathedral requires knees and shoulders covered—plan accordingly. Inform the operator of dietary needs or allergies when booking. The route involves minor climbing; those with significant mobility issues may find uneven terrain challenging.
