Full Description
Civita di Bagnoregio: the village on a rock
Civita di Bagnoregio sits on a narrow pillar of soft volcanic stone above a wide valley of eroded clay, and its houses seem to grow out of the cliff. Founded by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago, it is reached by a long pedestrian footbridge, and only a handful of people live here all year round.
Erosion and earthquakes have slowly shrunk the rock, and the village is often called the dying town for that reason. If you are asking how to get to Civita di Bagnoregio from Rome, this tour takes the coach for you, and the walk over the bridge with your guide is the highlight of the morning.
Orvieto and its Gothic cathedral
Orvieto stands on a high plateau of volcanic rock in Umbria, and its historic centre is famous for the Duomo, begun in the late thirteenth century. The facade shines with mosaics and carved reliefs, while inside the San Brizio Chapel holds frescoes by Luca Signorelli.
The guide shows you the main streets and the cathedral square, and there is time for a coffee or a stroll in the old lanes. Orvieto is often chosen as a day trip from Rome by travellers who prefer smaller towns, and it also has an underground network of caves and a deep well designed for pilgrims and townspeople.
The farmhouse lunch in the Tuscan countryside
The tour includes a three-course lunch at a farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside, made with local ingredients in a peaceful rural setting. It is a relaxed break between the two towns, with views over rolling fields instead of busy tourist streets, and it gives you a taste of the countryside that many visitors to Italy never experience.
The lunch is part of your booking, so you do not need to search for a restaurant or worry about a reservation. Tell us in advance if you have dietary needs, so the farmhouse can plan for your group, and enjoy the views across the fields.
Three regions in one day
The day crosses Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany, which gives the tour its variety: Etruscan hill villages, medieval cathedral towns and open farmland. The coach has air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and your guide explains the landscape and the history as you travel.
The itinerary suits anyone who has already seen Rome's main sights and wants something quieter. It is a long day of around twelve hours, so bring comfortable shoes, water and a light jacket, because hill towns can be windy, and keep your camera ready for the valleys and rooftops.
