Your journey begins with a comfortable morning departure by luxury coach, where you will be accompanied by an experienced tour guide who will provide you with interesting information and historical commentary along the way, enriching your travel experience.

Our first stop is the quiet hilltop town of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis. Upon arrival, you will have free time to explore its picturesque souks at your own pace. Stroll through the medieval alleys, visit the famous Basilica of St. Francis (entrance not included) and admire the stunning frescoes and Romanesque architecture. Enjoy the serene atmosphere of this spiritual town as you visit Piazza del Comune, the heart of Assisi, and enjoy a quiet lunch or coffee in one of its charming cafés.

After immersing yourself in the beauty of Assisi, the tour takes us to the mystical Civita di Bagnoregio, known as “The Dying City” for its cliff-top location and eroded landscape. This dreamy hamlet, perched atop a tuff hill and accessible only via a pedestrian bridge, offers a unique experience, with its ancient streets, stone houses and captivating views over the surrounding valleys. Here you will have the chance to wander its ancient paths, discover artisan shops and capture photographs of one of the most surreal landscapes in Italy.

The final stop of the day will be in the ancient city of Orvieto, perched dramatically on a tuff cliff. As we approach, the tour guide will offer you background information about its history and sights, including the iconic Orvieto Cathedral, famous for its intricate Gothic façade (entrance not included). Once in Orvieto, enjoy free time to explore the cobblestone streets, visit artisan shops, or simply admire the panoramic views of the Umbrian countryside.
