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!

Excellent tour of the Duomo and Caves. - Francesca was our guide and she provided a very detailed explanation of the Duomo and the caves. The tour was not rushed and she told us other places to after the tour.

an exceptional guide who taught us everything in a simple and fun way - a truly special and very interesting visit, absolutely unpredictable for those who don't know the history of Orvieto. Great credit certainly goes to Cristiana, an exceptional guide: she explained everything to us with great skill and kindness, her Neapolitan character absolutely to be appreciated!!!

Tour Guide Best Ever! - The guide was extraordinary. I have been to the cathedral on previous trips to Italy but never appreciated it in the same way as I did with your tour guide. I believe her name was Maria or Marika (?). I had read other reviews about the tour and her name being mentioned so we were so happy when she introduced herself to us. Even happier once we were on the tour and able to experience the Orvieto Cathedral in a new way. The guide's knowledge and her warmth and consideration of us was truly exceptional.
