The experience

Orvieto rises on a volcanic plateau in Umbria, surrounded by vineyards and farmland, and is known for its Gothic cathedral and Etruscan roots. The town's location on the cliff edge has made it one of Italy's most distinctive cities. Civita di Bagnoregio, founded by Etruscans over 2,500 years ago, sits on its own isolated plateau and is sometimes called "the dying city" because erosion has cut it off from the surrounding landscape: only a footbridge connects it to the rest of the world now. Both towns command views across the Tiber valley from their heights.

The minivan picks you up at 8am at Civitavecchia Port and handles the drive to Orvieto. You'll spend time in the town itself, then move on to Civita di Bagnoregio for the views and the walk across the bridge. The day is structured to fit the port schedule, so you're back in time for your ship. Wine from the Orvieto region is part of the experience.
