Rome Trip Overview
If you are looking for an intimate experience, this is the tour you need to book. Enjoy a day-trip to the Umbria region, exploring the stunning medieval cities of Orvieto and Bagnoregio, both, just 1 hour 45 minutes away from Rome. Orvieto rises above the surrounding countryside sitting on its perch of volcanic tufa. Far below lies vineyards and fields dotted with ancient villas and vineyards. Orvieto’s most popular touristic attraction is the Duomo, a great example of Gothic -Romanesque architecture. Bagnoregio village teeters atop a pinnacle rising high above a vast canyon ruled by wind and erosion. The main entrance is a huge stone passageway, cut by the Etruscans 2,500 years ago and decorated in the 12th century with a Romanesque arch. Passing through the portal, you enter another world — one stuck in the Middle Ages. The tour is operated in an air-conditioned sedan or minivan Mercedes.
