This subterranean tour of Todi is a unique way to learn this beautiful town's history, and definitely I recommend it for adventurously spirited people. Valerio is a very knowledgeable archeologist, explains thoroughly and in detail the history of these tunnels and was a terrific guide. I called him for an appointment for the tour, and he met us with helmets with headlights. I highly recommend!

A massive ancient arch leading up to the very center of the city, a beautiful sight and a must-see when you are in Perugia. The Etruscans and Romans knew what they were doing.
