The Tour Guy · Piazzale Flaminio, Rome
A coach day from Rome that pairs Civita with the Val d'Orcia: the village first, then a long winery lunch near Montepulciano and an hour in Pienza. Pick it because it is the cheapest Rome day trip that pays the Civita ticket and the shuttle for you.
The Tour Guy runs this one from Piazzale Flaminio, just outside Piazza del Popolo, at 7:30. The coach stops below Bagnoregio and the shuttle runs you to the Belvedere, where the bridge starts; the Civita ticket and the shuttle are both paid. You get about an hour and three quarters in all. Then the coach heads into Tuscany to a family-run winery near Montepulciano, for cured meats and pecorino, a pici-making demonstration, a pasta lunch with three wines, and cantucci with Vin Santo. The last stop is about an hour in Pienza, the Renaissance town over the Val d'Orcia.
At about $99 it undercuts the City Wonders trip and covers more. The operator's own page lists the Civita entrance, shuttle, winery visit, lunch and tastings as included; only tips are extra. What it lacks is Orvieto, so pick by your second stop: Tuscan scenery here, Orvieto's cathedral on the City Wonders trip.
Two honest warnings from guests. Even with the shuttle, the walk to Civita is strenuous: the bridge is about 300 metres and climbs steeply at the end. And the day can run late; the operator says it returns in the early evening, but traffic on the A1 decides that.
Meet at Piazzale Flaminio 20, by Piazza del Popolo. Arrive 15 minutes early.
Shuttle from the coach park to the Belvedere, then the bridge. About 1 h 45 in all, mostly free time.
Cellar visit, a tasting of local cheese and cured meats, a pici demonstration and lunch with three wines.
About an hour of free time. Walk the walls for the Val d'Orcia view and try the pecorino.
The coach returns to central Rome in the early evening, about 11.5 to 12 hours after leaving.
★★★★★The tour was amazing and our guide Maria Elena the best!
★★★★★The walk to Civita was strenuous. The guide warned the group in advance, and that was very much appreciated.
★★★★★Even with the shuttle bus, there is still a strenuous walk to Civita di Bagnoregio, so make sure you wear appropriate shoes.
