This private tour is built around Orvieto’s cathedral and a short walk through the city center.

With a private guide and a relatively short duration, this option suits travelers who want a focused, flexible introduction rather than a broader excursion.
What this private Orvieto tour covers
- Private guided tour format.
- Cathedral entry tickets are included.
- Keeps the visit concentrated in about a half day.

Luxury Eno and Oil experience, by e-bike and more…
Best for: Travelers who want a more active outing with wine and olive oil tastings

Because it includes bike use and several tasting elements, it is a good fit for travelers who want movement, local flavors, and a more leisurely, immersive pace.
What this e-bike and tasting experience includes
- Use of bicycle is included.
- Wine tasting and olive oil tasting are both included.

Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio including Underground Tour and Lunch
Best for: Travelers who want a fuller day with Orvieto, underground sights, lunch, and a second town

The day also includes lunch in Orvieto, then a private transfer to Civita di Bagnoregio with a walking tour there as well. It works well for travelers who prefer a fuller, guided program with transportation included and want to see more than Orvieto alone.
What this longer Orvieto and Civita day covers
- Includes Orvieto walking tours and an underground visit.
- Lunch in Orvieto is included, with drinks excluded.
- Private transfer to Civita di Bagnoregio and return is included.
