We had an amazing time exploring these cities. We took a cruise into the port of Civitavecchia and instead of going to Rome like everyone else, we explored Orvieto and Civita. It was quite cold when we visited (3rd week of March) and so very windy. We started our tour early as we only had 8hrs to spend before going back to the cruise. If we weren’t on a time crunch, we would have booked the tour later in the day. When we visited Civita, the “dying city,” everything was closed. It was beautiful to walk around and enjoy the views but the restaurants and shops were all closed. Our driver was very nice and was very helpful. Our last stop, the winery was so special. Beautiful view, lovely wine and super friendly people. That was such a great way to end the day. We wish we had more time to spend in each place because they were all so great.
