Civita di Bagnoregio

This charming little town was founded by Etruscans around 2500 years ago on top of a hill formed by “tufah” stone. The area must have been really different in those days. The natural erosion and earthquakes have really changed the town a lot less space on the hilltop than it originally had. In 1695 one of those earthquakes destroyed the sort of natural bridge that linked Civita to the bugger nearby the town of Bagnoregio. The natural erosion hasn't stopped and the sides of the hill keep crumbling down therefore they call Civita “ the dying city”. Civita, like an island, is connected by a narrow walkway to reality and to the surrounding countryside; it takes us away, not so much in distance as in time...

Orvieto

Founded by the Etruscan around the VII cent. b.C., the city was called VELZNA, but well known by the Romans with the name of Volsinii. It was conquered by the latter in 264 b.c. Risen during the beginning of the middle ages became a free and rich city during the XII and XIII centuries until the catastrophe of the pestilence in 1348. Became part of the Vatican State and was fortified by the Cardinal Albornoz who built the fortress in 1364 and changed little in appearance over the centuries that followed. There are many sites to visit, like the Duomo with its outstanding façade and marvels inside, the Tower of the Moor, from whose top the view is breathtaking, and the undergrounds!

Our tour with Alessandro was exceptional! It was my favorite tour of our trip. It was paced well ... never feeling too rushed and giving us a little time to explore on our own too. Alessandro customized the tour for us, depending on what interested us and our schedule. The restaurant he recommended was excellent. Alessandro was kind and patient and made us feel at ease. I loved everything we did/saw on the tour and would highly recommend it.

Alessandro is amazing. We met on a previous trip to Rome and I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge about ancient Rome and Italy in general. We had wonderful conversations on the ride to Orvieto and back, and I learned a lot. In Orvieto we saw the beautiful Duomo and underground Etruscan and medieval tunnels, as well as the beautiful city itself. He also took us to the disappearing town of Bagnoregio and the bizarre monster park of Bomarzo. It was a wonderful day.

A PERFECT day, thanks to Alessandro! We are a family of six and were planning to come to Rome at the beginning of July. We found Rome-Limousines on Trip Advisor, and began discussing plans with Alessandro. His quick response and helpful information was just the beginning of a perfect vacation! Alessandro recommended getting OUT OF Rome on the first Sunday of the month as that is when many of the attractions are open for Romans at no charge, so the city is even more full (and crazy) than usual. So, he recommended a day trip to Orvieto, Civita de Bagnoregio with a wine tasting at a family-owned and operated vineyard. Not only were we treated to an amazing Sunday that was a little slower paced and relaxed, we had the BEST day. Alessandro took us to the Duomo di Orvieto, which I will never forget, led us through the streets when we wanted to find an awesome iced coffee. He always had “a plan” in mind, it was happy to pivot to honor our special requests and changes. After a time, we proceeded to Cantine Neri where we saw how they make their wines, went deep down into their storage cave and then had the most delightful wine and olive oil tasting imaginable. After a busy day, he returned us to our hotel with plenty of time to rest up for the evening. THANK YOU, Alessandro! You made our trip fantastic!

We enjoyed a nice day trip outside of Rome to Lake Bolsena and Civita. Alessandro customized the trip for us, we skipped Orvieto since we had visited before, and decided on Lake Bolsena instead. Alessandro was well-prepared, he picked us up at our hotel in Rome on time, and provided brochures on the towns we were going to visit which I appreciated. Civita di Bagnoregio was amazing and we visited in winter! I’m sure in summer it’s hopping! We had a nice lunch there with Alessandro, it was a joy getting to know him, his life, his family. A delightful guide. He was super helpful in Bolsena with our COVID testing (we forgot to bring our passports as proof of ID) but he was persistent, and worked it out on our behalf with the pharmacist. We ended the day with a wine tasting nearby and shipped a case home. Skip the big tours and book yourself a private guide to customize a trip to meet your needs, you won’t regret booking with Alessandro.

The personal attention Alessandro gave us throughout the day, including a fantastic lunch, the many great landmarks we visited and toured, ending with him personally delivering us and our luggage to the train station, personally making sure we got the right tickets and got on the right train. If you want the best tour, Alessandro is your man. Outstanding.
