About this activity

Escape Rome's crowds for a full-day private journey to two enchanting hilltop towns—Orvieto, famed for its Gothic cathedral, and Civita di Bagnoregio, a dramatically perched medieval village accessible only by footbridge. This curated experience combines cultural immersion, countryside scenery, and Umbrian cuisine in a small-group setting.

This daily excursion is crafted for travelers seeking relaxation, scenic views, good food, and wine. You will explore the charm of two small medieval towns in the Umbria and Lazio regions, with their castles, towers, churches, and palaces, where life moves at a gentle pace. The drive from Rome to these towns and between the villages, passing through lush greenery, is truly charming, calming, and peaceful.
It's an opportunity to savor authentic Italian cold cuts, wine, olive oil, and grilled bread known as "bruschetta"! Upon request, we can also arrange a wine tasting experience to make the day trip even more memorable.

Highlights

  • ✓Orvieto's stunning striped Gothic cathedral with intricate marble façade
  • ✓Civita di Bagnoregio: isolated ancient village accessible by narrow pedestrian bridge
  • ✓Scenic drive through rolling Umbrian and Lazio countryside
  • ✓Authentic local lunch featuring regional cold cuts, bruschetta, and olive oil
  • ✓Optional wine tasting of local Umbrian varieties
  • ✓Medieval towers, churches, and historic palaces in both villages

Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes—Civita's cobblestones are uneven and the footbridge requires steady footing
  • ★Visit early in your Rome trip to acclimate; the 10-hour day is full but manageable when fresh
  • ★The drive itself is part of the experience—request a seat on the right side for best vineyard views heading toward Orvieto

Good to know

  • •Total duration is 10 hours including Rome travel time; 3-4 hours spent in the towns themselves
  • •Private tour means personalized pace and pickup from your Rome accommodation
  • •Lunch and wine tastings are likely additional costs beyond the base price
  • •Limited accessibility in Civita—steep paths and stairs; not suitable for mobility challenges
  • •Bring sunscreen, water, and a light jacket; hilltop villages can be windy
