Orvieto
Once in Orvieto, have a walk through this quaint medieval town and observe the fantastic architecture and art which has attracted curious travelers from all around. Admire the stunning buildings, nestled peacefully amongst the local bustle of the tight-knit community. Enter Orvieto’s elaborate Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta and admire carefully executed frescoes from the 15th century. 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.

Umbria
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!

Civita di Bagnoregio
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. Your Private Orvieto Day Trip Experience finishes in Rome, at your hotel, where you will arrive with plenty of time to enjoy a Roman evening.

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

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enchanting Orvieto and Civita the "Dying City" Day Trip from Rome start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
