Top-Notch Tour of Duomo and Orvieto Underground! - This tour with Alexandra exceeded our expectations. She greeted us outside the cathedral and gave us a brief history of Orvieto and the Duomo. Inside, we spent a lot of time studying the frescoes of The Last Judgment by Signorelli. We’ve never seen anything like them before, and I don’t think we could’ve appreciated the frescoes as much without Alexandra there to provide background, context, and commentary. The underground cave was also very interesting and worth visiting, as the cave system in Orvieto is extensive and began with the Etruscans. This tour gave us a good understanding of Orvieto, both past and present, and we highly recommend it to others! Thank you, Alexandra for a wonderful experience!

Great Private Tour! - This was a totally private tour. Had a Good time! It is a good amount of walking, but a Great tour! Our guide was great! So informative! If we walked through on our own we would have totally missed 3/4 of what we experienced with the guide! She was very patient and helpful with any of our needs, & didn’t rush us at all!

Private, Fun, and Interesting! - We loved this tour and our tour guide, Emanuela! Orvieto is such a beautiful story with such interesting history. We enjoyed learning about old and recent history from someone who grew up there. Our tour had 6 people, which felt private and was a perfect size to navigate around while being able to hear the guide and feel comfortable asking questions. The Duomo is absolutely fascinating to learn about between how it was built and all the details in the art within it. The caves were neat to learn why they exist and how they were/are used. I highly recommend this tour!
