Itinerary - What to Expect
Private Pick-Up from Your Rome Hotel
Your day begins with a private pick-up directly from your hotel or accommodation in central Rome. Settle into a luxury Mercedes sedan or minivan and enjoy a scenic drive north through Lazio and into Umbria, passing rolling hills, vineyards, and quiet countryside far removed from the city crowds.
Orvieto – A Hilltop Town Shaped by History
Upon arrival in Orvieto, you’ll step into a town that seems to rise organically from the volcanic rock beneath it. Founded by the Etruscans and later shaped by medieval and Renaissance influences, Orvieto offers an atmospheric historic center filled with stone palaces, narrow streets, artisan shops, and panoramic viewpoints over the Umbrian landscape.
Orvieto Cathedral – A Gothic Masterpiece
At the heart of the town stands Orvieto’s Cathedral, begun in 1290 and widely regarded as one of Italy’s most extraordinary Gothic churches. Its richly decorated façade, glowing mosaics, and harmonious proportions make it a highlight of any visit. You’ll have time to admire the exterior and, if you wish, visit the interior independently.
Orvieto Underground – Beneath the Surface
One of Orvieto’s most fascinating features lies below ground. Descend into the Orvieto Underground, a vast network of caves, tunnels, and cisterns carved over more than two millennia. This hidden world reveals how ancient civilizations adapted the volcanic stone for daily life, defense, and survival.
Tickets for the Orvieto Underground are not included in the tour price. This experience requires advanced booking due to limited availability. If you wish to include the underground visit in your itinerary, please contact us in advance and we will be happy to assist with reservations and planning.
Free Time for Lunch and Exploration
Enjoy free time to explore Orvieto at your own rhythm. Choose a local restaurant for lunch, sample Umbrian specialties, or simply wander the historic streets and soak in the town’s relaxed atmosphere.
Optional Umbrian Winery Experience
If you wish, your day can be enhanced with a visit to a local winery just outside Orvieto. Set among vineyards and gentle hills, the estate offers insight into Umbrian wine traditions, grape varieties, and production methods, followed by a tasting of local wines produced at the estate. A relaxing lunch to taste the Umbrian specialties can be arranged at the winery. This experience can be added during booking via the optional extras menu.
Return to Rome
At the end of the day, your private driver will escort you back to Rome, arriving directly at your hotel in the early evening. As a private tour, the timing and flow of the day can be adjusted to suit your interests and pace.
