Orvieto and Civita Bagnoregio
Discover the dramatic clifftop beauty of Umbria and northern Lazio on a private day trip from Rome, exploring the medieval splendor of Orvieto and the fairytale hilltop marvel of Civita di Bagnoregio.
The Tour
Leave the bustle of the capital behind for an unforgettable journey into the dramatic landscapes and historic hill towns of central Italy. Your private English-speaking driver greets you directly at your hotel lobby in Rome in a luxury vehicle, escorting you north through rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards into the green heart of Umbria.
Your morning begins in the medieval town of Orvieto, perched high atop a monumental volcanic tufa cliff overlooking the scenic countryside. Wander through quiet stone-paved lanes lined with artisan pottery workshops, historic palaces, and charming wine boutiques showcasing the celebrated crisp Orvieto Classico white wine. Stand in awe before the town’s crowning jewel, the magnificent Gothic Duomo, famed for its golden mosaic facade and Renaissance frescoes. If you wish to deepen your culinary experience, our team can gladly arrange a private cellar visit and guided tasting at a local winery upon request at the time of booking (winery tasting fees paid separately).
After pausing for a leisurely lunch of regional specialties at an authentic local trattoria, your journey continues to Civita di Bagnoregio, one of Italy’s most breathtaking and unique sights. Perched atop an eroding canyon plateau in the Valle dei Calanchi, this captivating village is accessible only via a scenic pedestrian bridge. Stroll through timeless stone alleyways, visit the Romanesque Church of San Donato in the main piazza, and take in the panoramic valley vistas of this historic hamlet. After an enchanting day steeped in history and breathtaking scenery, your driver ensures a smooth, comfortable return to your hotel in Rome.
