Itinerary – What to Expect
Private Pick-Up at Civitavecchia Port
Your day begins directly at the port of Civitavecchia, where your private driver will be waiting for you at the dock. Settle into a luxury Mercedes sedan or minivan and enjoy a scenic drive through the Italian countryside as you leave the coast behind and head toward Umbria.
Civita di Bagnoregio – The Dying City
After approximately one and a half hours, you will arrive at Civita di Bagnoregio, one of Italy’s most extraordinary medieval villages. Perched dramatically atop a volcanic hill and connected by a pedestrian bridge, Civita offers breathtaking views, stone houses frozen in time, and endless photo opportunities. Wander through the quiet streets, admire the unique setting, and, if you wish, enjoy lunch at one of the charming local restaurants. If you prefer, this stop can be skipped to spend more time in Orvieto.
Orvieto – Medieval Beauty and Gothic Masterpieces
Your driver will then take you to Orvieto, a historic town of Etruscan origin rising above the Umbrian countryside. As you stroll through the atmospheric historic center, you’ll encounter medieval and Renaissance palaces, artisan shops, and panoramic viewpoints. The highlight is Orvieto Cathedral, founded in 1290 and considered one of Italy’s finest Gothic masterpieces, famous for its dazzling façade and intricate details.
Continue your visit with the fascinating Orvieto Underground, an extensive labyrinth of caves, tunnels, and cellars carved into the rock over more than two thousand years. This unique underground city reveals the ancient history, engineering skills, and daily life of past civilizations (tickets to the underground sites not included in the price, need to book in advance, contact us if interested).
Optional Winery Visit and Wine Tasting
After exploring Orvieto, you may choose to visit a local winery in the rolling countryside just outside the town. Tour the estate, learn about traditional Umbrian wine production and local grape varieties, and enjoy a guided wine tasting.
If desired, we can arrange a relaxing lunch at the winery with wine pairing. This experience can be added during booking by selecting the winery visit options.

At the end of the day, your private driver will take you back to the port of Civitavecchia in time to board your cruise ship.
