Best way to see Orvieto - The trip was wonderful! because of all the hills, It was a great way to see the town that we would not have seen walking. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the local history. The underground tour was very interesting, and the lunch afterwards was outstanding.

Great start to our stay - This was a great start to our stay in Orvieto! Paolo was an amazing guide, fun, knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot and saw some amazing views. The underground portion was interesting too and then we ended our tour with some amazing wine and food from a local restaurant and winery. We went back the next day for more delicious wine! Loved every minute of this!!

A Fun Way to Try an E-Bike - Learn some local history while, in my case, having a first E-bike experience, This is not a vigorous ride but a trip through the streets of Orvieto. Our genial and knowledgeable guide/ lunch host gave us enough information for me to appreciate the span of history before me without losing me in a fog of detail. A great morning topped off with a delicious lunch and ending with a tour of the caves.

Great Intro to Orvieto History - We very much enjoyed our bike tour with Paolo. We learned so much about Orvieto (and broader Italian) history. This is the tour for you if you want to understand the history and see some beautifiul panoramas. The lunch that was included was delicious and we were treated as VIPs at the restaurant. The underground tour was also interesting and a nice inclusion.
The biking is limited -- but a very convenient way to get around to different points of interest within Orvieto easily.

Terrific experience, highly recommend! - We had such a great experience on the tour with Paolo. He is so knowledgeable, interesting and kind. We learned so much fascinating history. We started with an underground tour with Rosita which was excellent and a can't-miss. Then some biking and stops with Paolo. Ebikes are the perfect way to get around the city. Dinner sitting right in the square with the Duomo, what a great location. Paolo was so sweet about finding us a driver to do a day trip, we honestly cannot thank him enough for his patience and perseverance!!

Highly Recommended - Great experience full of history and sights. Our guide Paolo was fantastic. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the town was clear. Don’t expect a lot of distance to be covered, as Orvieto is not a large town. The underground cave tour was also a highlight, and the food and wine at the end was a real bonus. All in all a great time and highly recommended

The guide was... - The guide was knowledgeable about history and Orvieto. The e-bike was too much for me.
I fell and we missed the cave tour. Paolo did get us Duomo tickets instead. A city with cobble streets, cars and many pedestrians was too much for a person who never rode an e-bike before.
