Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio day tour from Rome
The tour will include stops to visit the towns of Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio. Orvieto is a town in the Umbria region situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The site of the city rises above the almost vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone called Tufa.
Orvieto was built originally in the Etruscan era, and it kept growing throughout the ages. It now has the looks of a medieval small town, but it’s still possible to understand its entire history by visiting the town’s most important sites. Among the important sites to visit in Orvieto is the Cathedral.
Civita di Bagnoregio is a small town located atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff. It was founded during the Etruscan era, and during the centuries it never grew much in width, always remaining incredibly small. Nowadays, the town has a limited number of inhabitants, and it was known as a dying town before tourism started to head in its direction during the last few years.
During the tour, you’ll be allowed time for lunch (not included) in a typical farmhouse restaurant and for visiting the main sites of each town. At the end of the tour, the driver will take you back to your accommodation in Rome.
