Uncover the best of Day Trip to Umbria the local Way

"I’m not sure that I expected much more than someone to drive us up to the Civita di Bagnareggio, show us someplace to have lunch in Orvieto, and then drive us back to Rome. But instead we got a very caring, experienced guide—Mauro! It took an hour and a half to drive to the Civita during which we had a wonderful conversation about families, politics, and some of the more subtle differences between the US and Italy. I had been to the Civita 25 years ago with my daughter when there was a parking lot at the beginning of the quarter mile, very steep bridge which leads up to the little Civita. This time the parking lot was farther away up a steep hill which would have to be navigated on our descent, and I wasn’t sure I could do both the bridge uphill and the return path uphill. It wasn’t easy, but grazie to Mauro, he found me a ride back up the hill. And he knew so much about the history of the Civita. So it was more than a walk through at an interesting little town. In Orvieto he knew how to navigate the escalators in the tunnels to reduce our uphill climb, which by then was definitely appreciated. And he recommended 2 restaurants. We chose one and were happy with our choice. Because Mauro has lived in the US, his English is impeccable, and I CANT RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY RNOUGH!"

"Mauro was an excellent guide to spend the day with. He is very easy to communicate with before, during and after! He had us go to an amazing "old city" Bagnoregio high up on a hill. It was some hike with gorgeous views. Very patient with me needing to take extra time. Then off to Orvieto, another "old city," less of a hike but amazing town. Both so rich in history. Had I known prior, I would have booked a 2nd tour with him while in Rome. Definitely an amazing guide (and person)!"

"Mauro was a terrific guide - for the locations we went to during our Umbria journey, as well as making suggestions for the rest of our time in Rome. Highly recommend!"

"Mauro is an incredible guide. He’s very personable and shared stories about his family. He took us to some often overlooked sites in Umbria and let us do things at our own pace."

"Mauro took my wife and I on a hilltop tour around Tuscany, he was a knowledgeable professional and very fun to hang out with. Highly recommended!"

"We were introduced to Mauro online @ Withlocals and immediately felt comfortable with him. Mauro has great communication skills, is precise with his instructions on where to meet and at what time. Mauro was on time for the tour, speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable about all things Italian. Our tour was from Rome to Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto. We stopped on the way for a restroom and coffee break. If the rest of Withlocals' tour guides are as good as Mauro you can rest easy. We felt in good hands our entire tour. He made our stay in Rome more enjoyable."

"What unique day out of Rome. If it weren't for Mauro we would have never checked these places out. Early start is a must. Mauro is so attentive, engaging, friendly and easy going. We talked about many things. He loved showing us the views and explaining things to us. The whole tour was amazing and a high light. "

"What an amazing day trip :) The cities we visited are amazing, especially Civita di Bagnoregio, and Mauro is an excellent driver and went out of his way to reassure that we are enjoying our time together at the fullest. Would totally recommend the tour and of course the host !"
