About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected in Rome and driven north into Umbria's quietly dramatic landscape. Orvieto appears suddenly—a walled town rising from a volcanic plateau, its terracotta roofs and cathedral commanding the ridge. You have leisure time to wander its narrow streets, eat well, and drink the crisp local whites. The afternoon pivots to Civita di Bagnoregio, a near-abandoned village accessible by a narrow footbridge over eroded badlands. It's genuinely eerie and photogenic, though the walk down and back up is steep. Your driver remains on hand throughout; the pace allows proper breathing room rather than rushed box-ticking.
Good to know
Entrance fees to sites aren't included—budget separately. The footbridge to Civita requires walking; unsuitable for full mobility restrictions despite vehicle accessibility. Wear sturdy shoes. Gratuities aren't included. Lunch is provided but additional meals cost extra.
