Enjoy a private tour of Volterra, tailored to your interests and pace. Whether you're passionate about art, history, archaeology, or just want to explore the charm of an authentic Tuscan hill town, this experience offers a relaxed and in-depth approach.
Once a powerful Etruscan city, Volterra still showcases its layered past: from the Porta all’Arco and Roman theater to medieval tower-houses, the cathedral, and Piazza dei Priori. Perched high above the countryside, it also offers stunning panoramic views.
When possible, the tour may include a visit to a traditional alabaster workshop, depending on the artisan’s availability.
A private tour means flexibility, personalization, and the chance to connect more deeply with this fascinating destination.
It is the heart of the city. This square is overlooked by the most important buildings of the Communal Age such as Palazzo dei Priori, Palazzo Pretorio. Many traces are still visible that tell of this era.
Volterra is a perennial archaeological site. It was a rich and powerful Etruscan city and fortunately still preserves some traces of this era such as Porta all'Arco, a rare example of an Etruscan city gate.
This square is overlooked by the city's most important religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the former Hospital. Volterra boasts the birth of the second pope after St. Peter, St. Linus. Not surprisingly, his evangelization was so early that he founded an equally early diocese that would become influential and rich throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. Our walk includes only a visit to the square and does not include a tour inside the buildings.
