Orvieto private walking tour
Discover more than 2,500 years of Italian history on a private, 3-hour walking tour of Orvieto. Admire views over the beautiful Paglia Valley, then head beneath the volcanic rock to explore the city’s underground network of wine cellars and ancient Etruscan cisterns. No tour would be complete without a visit to the magnificent and famous Orvieto Cathedral, considered one of the most important in Europe and home to a fascinating collection of artifacts.
Orvieto is an old town located on a tufa outcrop, 300 feet above the gorgeous Paglia Valley below. The city is mostly known for its Duomo (Orvieto Cathedral) and is considered one of the most architecturally important in Europe, for its Etruscan roots and for the museums where one finds collections and displays that range over 2,500 years of history. During this tour, you will walk through Orvieto’s charming narrow alleys and small squares. Your tour will be a very memorable experience, perfect for reflecting over while you enjoy an Umbrian meal and a glass (or two) of Orvieto Classico wine (not included).
