Travel from Rome to Bolsena and Montefiascone for lakeside history, hilltop views, and time to explore at your own pace.

About this tour

Leave Rome behind for a full-day private journey to Bolsena and Montefiascone, where lakeside scenery meets centuries of history. With private deluxe transportation and an English-speaking driver, travel through the countryside at your own pace and explore two distinctive towns near Lake Bolsena.

In Bolsena, learn about the Eucharistic miracle said to have taken place in 1263, when blood appeared on a consecrated host during Mass at the tomb of St. Cristina. The event inspired Pope Urban IV to establish the feast of Corpus Domini. Continue to Montefiascone, perched above the lake and once chosen as a defensive stronghold of the ecclesiastical kingdom. At the Rocca dei Papi, discover the story of the Popolina coin, then admire the vast dome of Santa Margherita Cathedral, measuring 27 meters in diameter and 23 meters high. There is time to stop for lunch, at your own expense.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
