Blue Cat personal tour a must. - Serena made us feel welcome from the beginning of the tour. Her knowledge of the outside carvings and mosaics was amazing. Inside the stories to go with the paintings and painters history was so detailed. Best two hours spent in Orvieto of the 3 day stay. It’s a must do.

Delightful Tour of Orvieto Cathedral - Selena did a wonderful job coordinating our tour arrangements. We had a couple of travel glitches getting to Orvieto and Selena worked smoothly and gladly to adjust. She has complete command of the historical, architectural, and cultural background of the beautiful cathedral and town. And she has the passion for the subjects that you want in a guide. And after the tour, she suggested Bartolomei Ristorante for lunch, which was the perfect place—off the beaten path and one we never would have known about otherwise. Orvieto is full of charm and character, and the cathedral is one of Europe’s most beautiful. We couldn’t have been happier with Selena’s tour.

We enjoyed our private... - We enjoyed our private tour very much. Our guide, whose name unfortunately I cannot recall now, was very knowledgable about Orvieto itself and the cathedral in particular. The funicular ride up from the train station was fun, too!

Beautiful and so happy to have made the stop to visit - We were just there 2 days ago and well worth the stop. It is so beautiful and took 300 years to complete. Orvieto in general is a lovely area to visit.

A beautiful city - Stunning and human-scale town, many alleys, shops and restaurants (many closed in February). We enjoyed the tour on foot because there were very few tourists. The hotel chosen right near Piazza Duomo. The wonderful Cathedral. I recommend everyone to visit it.

Excellent Guide - Our guide Serena was excellent. She pointed out many things that would go unnoticed if you were not with a guide. We were really happy with her and all the knowledge she had.

Orvieto - I've never seen something so majestic, it's definitely worth a visit. The five-euro ticket also includes visits to two museums and the cathedral basement.

The wonders of Orvieto Cathedral - Good. Very competent and complete in explanations. They were able to answer all our questions, both artistic and historical. They made us live "live" the frescoes of the chapel of San Brizio, passionate about details and curiosities.
