Orvieto & Bagnoregio

Orvieto-and-Bagnoregio
Duration: 9 hours

The private Shore Excursion to Orvieto and Bagnoregio leaves from the dock of your ship at 8:00am where you meet one of our English speaking driver-guide waiting for you holding a sign with your name on. You will drive about 75 minutes east of Civitavecchia getting to the Umbria region for your first stop. Orvieto is perched on a upland of tufa rock (soft volcanic rock) that was once an island in the sea that covered the Paglia valley below. Here you will have time to explore one of the finest Duomo in Italy, a gem of Gothic architecture, and take a 45 minutes guided tour of the underground city with its winding tunnels and Etruscan relics allowing you to explore 3000 years of history by following the ancient passageways, stairs and hidden rooms. Another important site is St. Patrick’s well built on the orders of Pope Clement VII who sought refuge here during the sacking of Rome: this 203 feet deep well boasts double spiralled staircases for easier access to the water. Next you will experience a delightful lunch with local products and delicious local wine.

After exploring this charming town with amazing views you will head to Civita Bagnoregio, an almost deserted town accessible only by a foot bridge. With only 25-50 inhabitants it reminds you of a ghost town. Here you can stroll the narrow streets and marvel at the existence of a place where time stopped several hundreds of years ago. You will also be able to enjoy a visit to an ancient olive oil press, originally built by the Etruscans from this area. This tour will take you back in time and allow you to explore the unique history of this fascinating area, and at the end you will drive back to your ship with a comfortable 90 minutes ride.
