About Volterra
Volterra rewards travellers who want layers of history rather than a single headline monument: Etruscan walls, a Roman theatre, medieval towers and an alabaster craft tradition that still shapes the town's workshops. A private guide makes the difference between seeing the stones and understanding them, as on the Volterra: Private Walking Tour of Historic Landmarks or the Volterra Private Walking Tour: Alabaster, Etruscans & Twilight's Secrets, which traces the town's story from its Etruscan origins through its alabaster ateliers.

Frequently asked questions
Volterra packs an unusual range of civilisations into a small hill town: Etruscan gates and tombs, a Roman theatre, medieval palazzi around Piazza dei Priori, and a living alabaster craft tradition. A guided history and culture experience connects these layers on foot, explaining what you are looking at rather than leaving you to guess.
