Fantastic private tour of the truly beautiful city Orvieto! - Orvieto is such a beautiful city. Although much smaller the Duomo really rivals the Duomo in Florence. My friend and I met up with Emma our guide and we were so happy we had her as a guide. She was very enthusiastic about the city and so knowledgeable about it. We learned so much, but the highlight was definitely her discussion of the Duomo. It has so many artistic features that mean so much more than what a layman's eye can tell. She gave us the scoop about all the features on the front of the Duomo and the story it told which was amazing. Emma is a wonderful guide and I highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend! - Elena was amazing! She sat with us and explained the history of the cathedral. She took us down and back up in Patrick’s Well. It was well worth the money spent, and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

Very worthwhile tour - We found the duomo in Orvieto to be much more beautiful and impressive than the one in Florence, and the fact that it contains a Eucharistic Miracle makes it even more special. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting.

Most knowledgeable guide! - My husband and I took a similar tour 5 years ago that was excellent and when I saw our guide walk up to meet us, I recognized her right away! I was so happy to have her as our guide so our friends could learn the history of this beautiful city from the best! Emanuela knows so much about the city because she was born here! Great tour!

Wonderful overview of Orvieto and the Duomo! - This was a great overview of Orvieto lending context to the major landmarks, history and culture. The Duomo is a marvel and Viviana brought it alive for us. She was knowledgeable, friendly, interesting and adapted well to our small group. Highly recommend!

Awe inspiring cathedral - Having been many times to Italy and seen a multitude of cathedrals, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. It is beautiful and we were fortunate to have guide who not only knew its history but believed in the faith it symbolized.
