E-bike tour in Orvieto in small group: history, culture with lunch or dinner
Description
Exciting and unique experience, history, culture, art and food and wine in unique and unforgettable places. The tour is unique, with the comfortable e-bikes we cross the centuries during which Orvieto has become a jewel: the Rocca di Albornoz, the visit to the Underground, the Piazza del Duomo with a stop at the Foresi winery, the visit to the Piazza del Popolo with the beautiful Palazzo del Popolo, the alleys with the workshops of the artisans who have handed down an ancient art for generations, the Piazza della Repubblica with the church of Sant' Andrea where all the civilizations that have overlapped are clearly visible. Then the Church of San Giovenale from 1006, the stop on the terrace which looks south-west over an extraordinary panorama, the medieval quarter and finally the tour of the Confaloniera around the cliff. With e-bikes it is beautiful, ecological and fun, suitable for everyone, a form of "slow tourism" to live an experience to remember and tell.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Orvieto and the surrounding countryside. I had visited Orvieto before, but only on foot, so seeing the area by e-bike gave me a completely different perspective. It was such a treat to learn so much about the landscape and its history along the way. Our guide was also a fantastic storyteller, bringing the history to life and making the entire experience engaging and memorable. I highly recommend this tour!
Paulo was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of Orvieto. It was truly fascinating! I’m so glad we did this on our first day in town. It gave us a great appreciation for the city and an overview of the layout. The lunch at the end was outstanding! A perfect introduction to Orvieto! Thank you Paulo!
Our guide Paola was great. He knows an awful lot about the long history of Orvieto. He takes the time to explain everything. It is a very nice experience to get to know Orvieto by bike. A very nice and beautiful town. The tour through the old caves was also very interesting. And finally we had a delicious lunch with local products and local wine. The typical dishes from the area were very tasty! The owner of the restaurant was also incredibly nice and welcoming. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Our guide was knowledgeable, spoke good English and very personable. The scenery was breathtaking. Our tour included a delicious lunch with a view of the duomo.
This was a GREAT tour!! The e-bikes were so fun and easy; they let us see amazing nooks in the city that we would have never seen on foot. George was a fabulous guide too!
We had a fantastic tour with Paolo. A lovely man who was knowledgeable and gave us an amazing tour of the city! Highly recommend. The meal at the tour was also delicious!
George was a great tour guide and the e-bikes allowed us to see many of the highlights of Orvieto in a short time and without wearing ourselves out. We had a very friendly group of 6 and enjoyed visiting during the free lunch at the end of the tour.
Paul was knowledgeable and engaging - we learned about Orvieto’s ancient history, visited churches, toured caves and had lunch, including great wine, by the magnificent Duomo. We got to know Orvieto- highly recommend!
Really enjoyed our bike tour with Paolo. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of Orvieto. The e-bikes were great and the ride did not have any steep hill climbs so that was a plus! The supper at the end was right in front of the cathedral and the homemade meatballs by Momma were absolutely delicious.
Paolo was very knowledgeable and provided a lovely tour around Orvieto. Nice wines At the base of the duomo.
