Day Trip to Orvieto

Rome’s central location lends itself to idyllic day trips to neighboring regions such as Tuscany, Campania where Naples is located, and also Umbria where you will find Orvieto, a stunning hilltop town in central Italy!

Wake up in Roma and enjoy an Italian breakfast in majestic Orvieto! Our driver will fetch you from your hotel in the center of Rome and in less than 90 minutes deliver you to this medieval town located atop volcanic tufa rock foundations providing breathtaking views of the Umbrian countryside.

If desired, we can arrange for one of our local experts to show you around and share the town’s history along with insider tips, otherwise, you are free to roam where you heart desires. There are so many ways to spend your time in this picture-perfect town, and one of the best is simply walking through its charming streets. Orvieto is a city of art and history, dating back to the Etruscans, so whether you want to explore some of the 1200 caves located under the city, or admire the impressive facade of its 14th century Duomo, it’s all here! You could climb to the top of Torre del Moro, a long-standing clock tower providing panoramic views of the countryside, or spend a leisurely afternoon sampling Orvieto Classico, the beloved white wine of this region, grown in its volcanic soil. We will arrange for an authentic lunch at a favorite spot for the locals, and can also schedule a wine tasting in town or in the surrounding countryside. Please provide advanced notice if you would like a wine tasting to be part of your itinerary.
