Orvieto is located on a volcanic rock 100 meters above the beautiful valley of the Paglia river. The city is known for its magnificent 14th century cathedral century, one of the most important in Europe architecturally.

Perched on a clifftop high above the plain, Orvieto is one of the most striking towns in Umbria. Make the most of your time in this ancient city with this private walking tour that covers the main sights in just hours. Marvel at the Duomo, ranked among Italy’s most beautiful cathedrals, and take in the old town from the depths of St. Patrick’s Well to the heights of Torre del Moro.

Of all Italian hill towns perhaps Orvieto is the most photogenic and easiest to walk around. Largely pedestrianized and flat, it is easily covered on foot. The medieval streets and alleyways have both imposing palaces and quaint, modest townhouses.

Your photography teacher has lived here for 15 years and knows the place intimately. He has taught photography for 20 years and has been a pro since graduating from photography college in 1977. From the city walls, there are stunning views of the surrounding countryside with vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque villas and farms across two regions, Tuscany and Umbria.
