Umbria, Perugia & Assisi – the Heart of Italy
Journey to the green heart of Italy to discover unspoilt Umbria, with its archaeological treasures, fine art, hearty cuisine and Mediterranean landscape.
Overview
Experience rolling countryside, as you go up soaring hills topped with time-warp towns, down into the magical Frasassi Caves and onto the sparkling waters of Lake Trasimeno. If you'd like to discover what lies at the very heart of Italy – a region that's every bit as beautiful and historically important as neighbouring Tuscany but remains largely unexplored – this tour of Umbria is set to surprise and enchant.
With four guided tours including Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto and the Frasassi Caves plus an opportunity to taste traditional fare at a rural restaurant and sample Sagrantino di Montefalco wine, the Italian tour will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the heart of Italy.
