Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio Private Tour from Civitavecchia Cruise Port 

This tour is led by a professional English-speaking driver from our company, Rome-Limousines, who will pick you up at the bottom of your cruise ship, holding a sign with your name on it. Afterwards, you will be driven to Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto in spacious Mercedes vehicles, through a magical countryside for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. During the journey, the driver will give you valuable advice on what to visit according to the time available.

Arriving in Civita, the view will take your breath away. The Etruscan city was built on a hill of tufa stone, and its sides are slowly crumbling due to natural erosion and earthquakes. To reach it, you have to cross a concrete bridge that leads to a magical reality suspended in the clouds, still preserving the charm of medieval buildings and ancient churches. It is called “the dying city” not only because of the inexorable fate that awaits it but also because of the few inhabitants who still live there.

You then head to Orvieto, another ancient historical city situated on a plateau. In addition to the many architectural works from different periods, including the Duomo and the wonderful panorama, Orvieto is famous for its underground passages. On this tour, you can take advantage of an official English-speaking guide to visit the underground tunnels for an extraordinary journey into the past.

At lunchtime, your driver will recommend wineries where you can taste one of Italy’s most famous white wines, or typical restaurants built in tuff caves. At the end of the tour, you will return to the port of Civitavecchia.

We suggest wearing comfortable shoes and clothes for visiting churches and monuments.
