After landing in Rome Airport, meet with your private driver and venture into the breathtaking Umbria region of Central Italy. Depending on your arrival time in Rome, there might be the possibility to stop in the charming hilltop town of Orvieto. Renowned for its stately cathedral, which is considered to have the most stunning façade in all of Italy, Orvieto offers the perfect introduction to the Umbria region. A town founded by the Etruscans, Orvieto is noteworthy for its historic center that rises above the surrounding valley and its underground archeological area that traces the city’s history.
After breakfast, meet with your private guide and embark on a walking tour of Perugia’s city center. Along the way, you will discover the city’s many highlights including the Duomo, Fontana Maggiore, Palazzo dei Priori, and the Rocca Palatina. Afterwards, continue your exploration on your own then break for a lunch consisting of local specialties, such as a plate of handmade stringozzi pasta.
Today, you will follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis and discover the enchanting town of Assisi. After arriving in Assisi, begin a private tour of the town’s historic center. The main highlight, of course, is the famed Basilica of San Francesco, which is actually divided into two parts: a lower church and an upper church. Once inside, travelers will be greeted by remarkable works of art, including a fresco cycle depicting the life of Saint Francis by revered medieval painter Giotto. Other points of interest include the Basilica of Santa Chiara, the Cathedral of San Rufino, and the Temple of Minerva.
After breakfast, embark on an excursion through the Umbrian countryside to discover a few of the region’s charming small towns. During the excursion, you will stop in Spoleto, the former capital of a powerful duchy. Nowadays, the city is best known for hosting the popular Festival dei Due Mondi music festival each summer. You will have time at leisure to discover the highlights of Spoleto, including the Duomo, the Rocca Albornoziana fortress, and the captivating Ponte delle Torri, a massive arched bridge surrounded by greenery.
Your last full day in Umbria will be dedicated to another of the region’s many treasures: the city of Gubbio. With pre-Roman origins that can be traced back to the Umbri civilization, Gubbio is an excellent place to immerse in Umbria’s rich history. In fact, the city hosts the Eugubian Tablets, which feature the most complete surviving example of the Umbrian language. Among Italians, Gubbio is synonymous with its most important cultural and religious event, the Festa dei Ceri, which is held in honor of patron saint, Sant’Ubaldo.
