What to expect
You'll be picked up from Civitavecchia port and driven inland to Orvieto, where you can spend time wandering the pedestrian historic centre and viewing the famous striped cathedral at your own rhythm. The driver remains available throughout. From there, you'll head to Civita di Bagnoregio—a dramatically situated village perched atop a ridge of eroding clay. Reaching it requires crossing a narrow footbridge; the landscape around is otherworldly. You'll have freedom to explore at your pace before returning to the port. If you choose the optional winery experience, it slots into the afternoon.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so eat in Orvieto or bring supplies. Civita's footbridge can feel exposed; wear sensible shoes. The drive is roughly 90 minutes each way. No formal tour guide is provided, though your driver offers local knowledge. Accessible facilities are available.
