   Explore Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most fascinating hill towns, known for its Etruscan heritage and medieval atmosphere.

   From the parking area, your driver tour escort will accompany you on a 30–45 minute introductory walk through the historic center, passing traditional alabaster workshops and artisan shops before reaching the main squares. During the walk, you will stop at a local alabaster workshop where an artisan will give a short live carving demonstration, revealing techniques used in Volterra for centuries. After the orientation, you will have time to explore independently. With about four hours in total, you may visit the Museo Etrusco Guarnacci, admire the Roman Theatre, enter the Duomo, or see Rosso Fiorentino’s Deposition in the Pinacoteca.
