Description:
Enjoy a scenic full-day tour exploring the lush green hills of the regions of Tuscany and Umbria as you explore 3 stunning towns. Absorb the history behind the birth of St. Francis in Assisi, explore the breathtaking landscape of Cortona, and encounter the rich Etruscan heritage of Perugia.
The cityscape soon turns to Tuscany’s lush rolling hills as you make your way to Cortona. The town was the filming location for the romantic comedy, Under the Tuscan Sun, and it’s easy to see why it was chosen. With its pretty squares and quaint streets, it emulates Italian charm and offers breathtaking views over Lake Trasimeno and the valley beyond.
Cross the regional border into Umbria and into the spiritual site of Assisi, and its majestic basilica, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about St. Francis, the Catholic friar and preacher who was born here, and explore the history that has put it firmly on the pilgrimage map for Catholics the world over. 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.
