The driver will pick you up at your hotel
in Rome and take you to Orvieto. It is a testament to the Renaissance and Medieval periods.
Once an Etruscan fortress, Orvieto is home to an excellent Etruscan Museum as well as a
spectacular Duomo. It's also a favorite papal retreat due to its proximity to Rome. Orvieto enjoys a spectacular 360 degree view of the Umbrian hills
and valleys.
Because of its location, Orvieto was the ultimate protected refuge in times of siege. The
enchanting city is situated close to the border with the Lazio region. Your tour-manager will make a
stop in front of the major attraction, namely the charming walled hill town and its Cathedral of
Orvieto. Many people believe that this Duomo is the most beautiful church in all of Italy. This is
due to its splendid and decorative facade built in the Gothic style. The greatness of this area's
cultural and artistic heritage are complemented by the delicious specialties of the local cuisine.
Of course, Orvieto Bianco is one of the finest of the Umbrian wines. In fact, you'll make a stop for
lunch* right in the
piazza where you can enjoy an interesting combination of several types of truffles and cheeses
while indulging in a glass of Orvieto Classico house wine. You will notice that this picturesque
citadel boasts the famous hand-painted Majolica pottery. Every piece in the building is a work of
art made by countless masters. We'll then drive to the Medieval city of Todi. It was probably
founded by the Umbrian citizens of Veio. The ancient city of Todi was influenced by the Etruscans,
and later became Romanized during the mid-4th century BC. You will admire the major highlights of this historical town, including the Temple of Santa Maria della Consolazione and the temple dedicated to
S. Maria dell' Annunziata. The Church of
San Fortunato has a most elegant bell tower.
Sightseeing will continue on our way
