First visit to Orvieto: Carta Unica vs. City Pass

Stumbled across one then learned about the other. They seem to be quite similar but are sold on different websites with different descriptions (embedded links follow):

€27 pp City Pass

€25 pp Carta Unica

Might one of you know what are the differences and which might be better?

Thanks in advance!

They are very similar. The City Pass mentions a round trip between the train station and the upper town by funicular or bus, but it costs an extra 2 euros. Not a lot of difference there. If I was planning to arrive in town during the operating hours of the tourist office (which used to have a location down near the train station), I'd just buy whichever pass it's selling. That's what I did back in 2015. I was in Orvieto for quite a while and took advantage of nearly all the features of the card. They were somewhat different then; there was at last one walking tour included, I think. The museums were quite good, and this card remains a worthwhile offering for those spending enough time in Orvieto to take good advantage of it. I'm doubtful about whether it would pay off for day-trippers.
