About this experience

Norchia is an extraordinary site, wild and grandiose, almost abandoned, yet impressive! It is called "The Little Italian Petra" due to the presence of majestic rock tombs from the Etruscan era, in fact the ancient Orclae (Etruscan Norchia) was a rich city forming part of the powerful Etruscan capital Tarchna (Tarquinia). The Etruscan settlement began in the 3rd-34th century. to. C. but its origins are rooted in distant prehistory. Our adventure will start from the exploration of the necropolis, descending into the deep canyon of the Acqualta river, and then climbing up the woods to the Etruscan-Roman acropolis which in the Middle Ages was the site of the 12th century Di Vico castle. A.D. The traces of the medieval city are still jealously guarded by a lush forest. The city dominated the ancient "Via Clodia" dug entirely into the tuff for more than 400 meters, today called "Cava Buia", which we will have the thrill of exploring! The packed lunch will be offered by the Guide with typical products.

    Norchia is an extraordinary site, wild and grand, almost abandoned, yet impressive!

Our adventure will start from the exploration of the necropolis, descending into the deep canyon of the Acqualta river, and then going up through the woods to the Etruscan-Roman acropolis which in the Middle Ages was the site of the 12th century Di Vico castle.

Back To Nature is a certainty

Nowadays I go with Back To Nature, almost every Sunday, it is a meeting of culture, with Edoardo Expert and recognized archaeologist who can explain so well that even I began to understand 🤣 between woods, tombs, hollow ways, seasoned with so much sympathy, laughter, packed lunches, barbecues and is sometimes a healthy aperitif at the end of the day. You walk in beautiful places, and many times exclusive, because Back To Nature " there prepares before" ...for us. I have tried many trekking groups but They are unique....

Exciting, wonderful and very enjoyable

Fantastic trip in an area that is hidden from most tourists, but which is like a journey 2500 years back in time. The most unique thing about this tour is that it combines going out into nature in places where people rarely go and at the same time discovering and investigating ancient tombs, temples, settlements and the fanatical Via Claudia carved into the rock. A rare trip that is highly recommended. Edoardo is very knowledgeable, professional and a warm and pleasant guide.

Pure adventure

My husband and I just returned from a two week trip throughout Italy and a few other places but I must say this off the beaten path excursion was by far was our most memorable unexpected experience. You start off in the middle of nowhere but you end up in an untamed civilization from the past. No crowds basically no people just pure adventure. If you want something unique and special you can’t go wrong.

Response from the operator: Un piacere condividere con voi le bellezze nascoste dell'Italia...stay wild!

Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia from Rome: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia from Rome cost?

+

Prices start at $90 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 Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia 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 Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia from Rome worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia 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 Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia from Rome suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia from Rome?

+

Around 1 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 Trekking Excursion History and Nature Necropolis of Norchia 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.
