Description:
Enjoy a scenic full-day tour exploring 3 stunning towns among the lush green hills of Tuscany and Umbria. Learn about the birth and life of St. Francis in Assisi, explore the breathtaking landscape of Cortona, and absorb the rich Etruscan heritage of Perugia.
The cityscape soon turns to Tuscany's lush rolling hills as you make your way to Cortona. Its pretty squares and quaint streets epitomize Italian charm, and its views over Lake Trasimeno and the valley beyond are breathtaking. It's easy to see why the town is a heralded filming location for movies like Under the Tuscan Sun.
Cross the regional border into Umbria and the town of Assisi and arrive at its majestic basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about St. Francis, the Catholic friar and preacher who was born in Assisi and who helped put it firmly on the pilgrimage map for Catholics all over the world. Marvel at the elegant interior of the basilica and enjoy free time to take in the religious atmosphere.
The final stop on the tour is Perugia, the capital city of Umbria. Divided into 5 historic districts, the city is a stunning architectural gem with delightful paved alleyways, arched stairways, and charming piazzas. Founded by the Etruscans, the city is rich in monuments, including the La Fontana Maggiore fountain and the elegant palace, Palazzo dei Priori.
