Want to visit Italy, but looking to see more than just the tourist cities? Orvieto is your answer and is perfect for a day trip from Rome. The historic, and beautiful section of this city is situated at the top of a steep hill. The well-preserved Gothic and medieval buildings will make you feel like you're frozen in time. You can easily wander the city for hours without running out of beautiful architecture, historic buildings, or interesting spots to people-watch. The city is surrounded by small parks and gardens that offer a truly unique view of the surrounding countryside.Together with Montalcino, Montepulciano is well known for the great production of red wine, it’s "Nobile di Montepulciano" is one of the most appreciated Italian wines in Italy and abroad. Montepulciano has a distinct peculiarity, in that you can find several historic cantinas right within the city walls, which have been dug out underneath the prestigious palazzos.

Our guide, Rosanna, and driver, Luigi, were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time. Montepulciano and Orvieto are two classic Tuscan hilltop gems.

What a fabulous day! Rossana and Luigi two of best tour people we’ve ever met. Rossana planned a spectacular day, was very attentive to us, and took some of the most enjoyable pictures from the trip. Luigi is great driver. We felt very secure in the car, in the midst of all the wild Italian driving. The Orvieto church is stunning. The town is most enjoyable to walk and browse the stores. Montapulciano wine tasting was highlight of our 5 days in Rome. The red wine is some of the best we’ve had. The owner is a real delight to sit with and learn the stories of the vineyards! We sent several cases home and know we will become regular customers. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you love good red wine and this is some of the best! We will do this same tour again next year when we return to Italy

What a wonderful day trip from Rome. Orvieto is about an hour and a half from congested Rome and contains a magnificent cathedral most noted for the fresco cycle of Luca Signorelli. These frescos alone are worth the trip but the town of Orvieto is wonderful with excellent shopping and food. The people were friendly and proud of their town. The wine tasting was a wonderful experience and included an excellent light lunch. The guide and driver were excellent. Highly recommended.
