Orvieto et Civita di Bagnoregio au départ de Rome Excursion privée d'une journée
Description
Cette excursion quotidienne est conçue pour les voyageurs à la recherche de détente, de vues panoramiques, de bonne nourriture et de vin. Vous explorerez le charme de deux petites villes médiévales dans les régions de l'Ombrie et du Latium, avec leurs châteaux, tours, églises et palais, où la vie avance à un rythme doux. Le trajet de Rome à ces villes et entre les villages, en passant par une verdure luxuriante, est vraiment charmant, calme et paisible. C'est l'occasion de déguster de la charcuterie Italienne authentique, du vin, de l'huile d'olive et du pain grillé connu sous le nom de "bruschetta" ! Sur demande, nous pouvons également organiser une expérience de dégustation de vin pour rendre l'excursion d'une journée encore plus mémorable.

Itinéraire
Cette charmante petite ville a été fondée par les Étrusques il y a environ 2500 ans au sommet d'une colline formée par la pierre "tufah". La région devait être vraiment différente à cette époque. L'érosion naturelle et les tremblements de terre ont vraiment changé la ville beaucoup moins d'espace sur la colline qu'elle n'en avait à l'origine. En 1695, un de ces tremblements de terre détruisit l'espèce de pont naturel qui reliait Civita au bougre près de la ville de Bagnoregio. L'érosion naturelle ne s'est pas arrêtée et les flancs de la colline continuent de s'effondrer, c'est pourquoi ils appellent Civita «la ville mourante». Civita, comme une île, est reliée par une passerelle étroite à la réalité et à la campagne environnante ; elle nous emporte, moins dans la distance que dans le temps...
Fondée par les Etrusques vers le VIIème siècle. avant JC, la ville s'appelait VELZNA, mais bien connue des Romains sous le nom de Volsinii. Elle fut conquise par ces derniers en 264 av. Ressuscitée au début du moyen-âge, elle devint une ville libre et riche aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles jusqu'à la catastrophe de la peste en 1348. Elle fit partie de l'État du Vatican et fut fortifiée par le cardinal Albornoz qui construisit la forteresse en 1364 et changea peu en apparence au cours des siècles qui suivirent. Les sites à visiter sont nombreux, comme le Duomo avec sa façade exceptionnelle et ses merveilles à l'intérieur, la Tour du Maure, du haut de laquelle la vue est à couper le souffle, et les souterrains !

Andrea came to pick us up at the time agreed upon in a very comfortable Mercedes Benz van. The ride was very comfortable. Civita de Bagnoregio is a must see! Andrea told us that we could take as much time as we liked so he never rushed us. We loved exploring this little charming city! Then we went to Orvieto and Andrea took us to a restaurant where we enjoyed the best meal we’ve had in all the time we’ve been in Rome. Orvieto is a very developed but yet charming city with many stores and if you like ceramics, Umbria is known for ceramics and they have several stores in Orvieto that sell them. Again, Andrea told us to take as much time as we needed. He never rushed us. I recommend this trip. Well worth it!
The two towns were a great place to visit. The church was spectacular. The restaurant that Alessandro recommended was one of the best places we went on vacation
Hello Susan, thank you for your prompt and beautiful review! Very helpful, very nice! Grazie!!!
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.
Thank you very much Bill for this beautiful review! I was honored to meet you and your wife and guide you around the beautiful Umbria regione and what a surprise meeting you after a just a ride in Rome. Thank you again hope to hearing very soon from you!
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.
Dear Susan, I thank you very much for this beautiful revieww!!! It was nice tonspend a day with lovely persons as you and my hope is that of meeting you again. Let' s keep in touch and consider myself your roman friend! Grazie mille!
Wonderful trip to Orvieto and the spectacular Civita di Bagnoregio in the company of Alessandro and his comfortable Mercedes. Recommended for any person, couple or family who wants to spend a day in peace and serenity in the Umbrian countryside.
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.
My dear Gail, thank you very much for taking a moment of your time and writing a review about my company! It was an and a pleasure to meet and guide you once again and hope there will be another chance! Grazie all the best for your life!
