Assisi, Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio - Full-Day Tour

Embark on a fascinating day trip from Rome to the charming towns of Assisi and Orvieto, two gems of central Italy that blend history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Your journey begins with a comfortable morning departure by luxury coach, where you'll be accompanied by an experienced tour leader who will provide engaging insights and historical commentary along the way, enriching your travel experience.

Our first stop is the peaceful hilltop town of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis. Upon arrival, you'll have free time to explore its picturesque streets at your own pace. Wander through the medieval alleyways, visit the renowned Basilica of St. Francis (entrance not included), and admire the stunning frescoes and Romanesque architecture. Take in the serene atmosphere of this spiritual town as you visit the Piazza del Comune, the heart of Assisi, and enjoy a leisurely lunch or coffee in one of its charming cafés.

After soaking in the beauty of Assisi, the tour continues to the mystical Civita di Bagnoregio, known as "The Dying City" due to its cliffside location and eroding landscape. This enchanting village, set high on a volcanic tuff hill and accessible only by a pedestrian bridge, offers a unique experience with its ancient streets, stone houses, and captivating views over the surrounding valleys. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore its timeless paths, discover artisan shops, and photograph one of Italy’s most surreal landscapes.

The final stop of the day takes us to the ancient city of Orvieto, perched dramatically on a volcanic tuff cliff. As we approach, the tour leader will offer background information on its history and landmarks, including the iconic Orvieto Cathedral, famed for its intricate Gothic façade (entrance not included). Once in Orvieto, enjoy free time to explore the cobblestone streets, visit artisan shops, or simply admire the panoramic views over the Umbrian countryside.

After a full day of exploration, you'll reboard the coach for a relaxing drive back to Rome, arriving in the evening. Throughout the journey, your tour leader will be available for any questions or additional insights.
