Next, you will visit Orvieto which sits high up on a hill. It has a long history, great museums, and a feel like you're back in medieval times. One of the best things to see in Orvieto is its big church, called the Orvieto Cathedral. It's a beautiful building with both Romanesque and Gothic styles.

What to Expect: This tour gives you a chance to see history, art, and enjoy delicious food in the heart of Italy. You'll visit the Civitavecchia Port Shuttle Meeting Point, Civita di Bagnoregio, Orvieto and Lake Bolsena. It includes an English-speaking driver, tickets to get into Civita di Bagnoregio and the Orvieto Duomo, a ride in an air-conditioned vehicle, and pick up and drop off.
