Tour Description
With an experienced Catholic guide, you will get to know Orvieto's spiritual and artistic treasures. We begin our visit at Orvieto's Duomo, a marvel of Italian Gothic architecture, famous for its façade full of golden mosaics and intricate sculptures. Inside, you will explore the Corporal's Chapel and the Chapel of San Brizio, with extraordinary frescoes by Luca Signorelli depicting the Last Judgement and other biblical scenes.
After visiting the Duomo, we will move on to the main Piazza, a pulsating heart of history and spirituality, surrounded by historic palazzos and featuring breathtaking views of the Umbrian countryside. We will continue through Orvieto's medieval streets, passing by the Torre del Moro and the famous Pozzo di San Patrizio, a unique piece of 16th-century engineering.
To make the experience even more special, we offer the possibility of enriching the tour with a typical Umbrian lunch. You will taste local specialities with authentic ingredients and the famous wines of the area, in a characteristic restaurant. In addition, we can organise private transfers from Rome with comfortable vehicles on request, so you can enjoy the day without worries .

CAN WE BRING BACKPACKS ON TOUR?
Vatican authorities are very strict with the use of backpacks. Sometimes some distracted visitors hit the artworks with them. Thus, they require you to check them in at the entrance locker rooms of the museums. This is not convenient because you have to walk all the way back after the tour ends to collect them. We suggest not to bring them. Bring a small purse or simple bag. Also do not carry umbrellas on tour.
