About this tour
A cathedral carved in striped stone, sitting on top of a volcanic cliff, with a whole underground city cut into the rock beneath it. Orvieto is one of Italy's most striking hill towns, and it's only 75 minutes from Rome by train. Your guide meets you at the station and takes you up by funicular into the old town. You'll spend the morning inside the Duomo, including the Chapel of San Brizio and Signorelli's Last Judgement frescoes, then go underground to see the Etruscan wells, olive presses and pigeon caves the town was built on. After a long lunch in a family trattoria, you'll finish in a cellar carved into the tufa for a tasting of Orvieto Classico with local cheese. The pace is relaxed and the group is never more than ten, so there's time to ask questions and wander.
Highlights
- See Signorelli's Last Judgement frescoes in the Chapel of San Brizio
- Walk through 2,500 years of Etruscan and medieval tunnels beneath the town
- Taste Orvieto Classico in a cellar carved into volcanic rock
