What is a private transfer?
A private transfer is a transportation service that you hire in advance. The driver will take you directly to your destination without making any additional stops. Private transfers offer a personalized service and a seamless connection from one place to another.
How do you get up to Orvieto?
The funicular (cable-car) leads you to the city center of Orvieto in a few minutes, and once you get out, in Piazza Cahen you can stroll along the main Corso Cavour or, alternatively, take the local urban buses that stop in the main squares (Piazza Duomo, Piazza della Repubblica) and streets.
Is it worth going to Orvieto?
In the 13th century, there were over 30,000 denizens of the city (today there are just 20,000). A university sprang up and even Thomas Aquinas taught there until he was summoned to Rome to become the papal theologian to Pope Clement IX in 1265. All of that being said…is Orvieto worth visiting? The simple answer: yes.
What is special about Orvieto?
Orvieto rises on a natural tableland at the summit of a 150-metre-high tufa cliff emerging, much like an island, from the surrounding plains. The city's distinctive feature comes from the particular relationship between this sheer cliff and the fabric of the city dominated by its imposing cathedral.
How much to tip for a private transfer?
The standard tip for a private driver is typically 15-20% of the total hourly cost of the ride, which is consistent with the general tipping practices and rule of thumb in the service industry
