Learn about Michelangelo’s visit to Orvieto and the inspiration he drew from observing this stunning church. After you have appreciated Orvieto from the top, it’s time to head underground. The Etruscan city holds 3,000 years of history and mysteries deep below the modern day city. Orvieto is a city full of beauty, history and mystery with a stunning overground built upon caves and intricate tunnel systems, dug by ancient Etruscan people over three millennium ago.

Your trip to Umbria would not be complete without sampling the local cuisine. Umbria is one of those places that even Italians visit for a delicious local lunch outside of Rome. It won’t take long for you to realize why this region is known by everyone from Michelin-starred chefs to local foodies. We truly believe in the quality of Umbrian food which is why we include a sit down lunch with local products and wine on your Orvieto Day Trip Private Tour. Allow us to work with you and your guests to provide a menu that is both suitable and delicious with choices such as truffle bruschetta, local cheeses and salumi, fresh egg pasta. And of course no Umbrian table is complete without the local wine – Orvieto Classico!

Once your bellies are full, you will hop back into your private car and head out to one of the quaintest places in perhaps all of Italy – Civita di Bagnoregio, a town with a population of only 12! This stunning and unique hilltop gem is better known as “il paese che muore” - the dying town - because of the uniquely small number of residents. Civita di Bagnoregio is sure to impress even the most seasoned traveler. Take incredible pictures and marvel at the longevity of this precious and rare town.

Tivoli and Hadrian’s villa
An excellent guide with a good sense of humor. We saw Tivoli and Hadrian’s villa and Andy walked us through the history of each.

Emperor Hadrian in Tivoli
Today my husband & I enjoyed a delightful excursion thru from Rome with LIV Tours to visit Hadrian’s Villas — d’Este and Adriana. Our guide Brando brought to life the ancient history and treasures of both Villas. Brando is a gentleman & a historian and made this day a wonderful adventure
