Centro Storico Orvieto
Orvieto is an old town located on a tufa outcrop 300 feet above the gorgeous Paglia valley below. The city is mostly known for its Duomo (Orvieto Catherdral) and is considered one of the most architecturally important in Europe, for its Etruscan roots, and for the museums where one finds collections and displays that range over 2,500 years of history. During this tour you will walk through Orvieto’s charming, narrow alleys, and small squares. Your tour will be a very memorable experience, perfect for reflecting over while you enjoy an Umbrian meal and a glass (or two) of Orvieto Classico wine (not included).
Duomo di Orvieto
Orvieto's magnificent Duomo (cathedral) is considered one of the must-see churches in Italy for its stunning gold-and-mosaic Gothic façade and magnificent frescoes by Luca Signorelli, which had a great influence on Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel.

Elena was amazing! She sat with us and explained the history of the cathedral. She took us down and back up in Patrick’s Well. It was well worth the money spent, and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

My husband and I took a similar tour 5 years ago that was excellent and when I saw our guide walk up to meet us, I recognized her right away! I was so happy to have her as our guide so our friends could learn the history of this beautiful city from the best! Emanuela knows so much about the city because she was born here! Great tour!
