More about this tour
In this area visitors will have the chance to enjoy an atmosphere of bygone times, among the medieval paths, the palaces, the castles and the fortresses of charming villages and will probably feel a strong impulse to come back one day. Located in the centre of Italy, the Province of Perugia is Umbria’s largest, covering two-thirds of the entire region. The landscape presents different aspects: a wide area of plains in the Umbra and Tiber Valleys, framed by hills, and mountains in the eastern part. The rest of the territory is covered by woodland. In this panorama of changing vibrant colors many villages stand on hilltops, overlooking the plains below. These villages are remarkable for their historical and artistic heritage. This province is home to the largest lake in central Italy, Lake Trasimeno, which has three Islands of Polvese, Maggiore and Minore, and two promontories. The landscape is characterised by the relaxing intense green of the vegetation, and everything, from the villages overlooking the lake to the museums, its continuing traditions to its local products, all remind us of its past. Not only art and nature, but also a touch of mysticism adds something special to each route or path in this region. The most important is the Franciscan Path of Peace linking Assisi to Gubbio, which follows the route covered many times by Saint Francis after 1206 when he renounced his father’s properties. It's a relatively short trip, but it offers the unique chance to experience nature in prayer and friendship. The province of Perugia offers all this and much more. The journey may be a long one, but you will be rewarded by its great beauty.

What a wonderful day trip from Rome. Orvieto is about an hour and a half from congested Rome and contains a magnificent cathedral most noted for the fresco cycle of Luca Signorelli. These frescos alone are worth the trip but the town of Orvieto is wonderful with excellent shopping and food. The people were friendly and proud of their town. The wine tasting was a wonderful experience and included an excellent light lunch. The guide and driver were excellent. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous day! Rossana and Luigi two of best tour people we’ve ever met. Rossana planned a spectacular day, was very attentive to us, and took some of the most enjoyable pictures from the trip. Luigi is great driver. We felt very secure in the car, in the midst of all the wild Italian driving. The Orvieto church is stunning. The town is most enjoyable to walk and browse the stores. Montapulciano wine tasting was highlight of our 5 days in Rome. The red wine is some of the best we’ve had. The owner is a real delight to sit with and learn the stories of the vineyards! We sent several cases home and know we will become regular customers. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you love good red wine and this is some of the best! We will do this same tour again next year when we return to Italy

Our guide, Rosanna, and driver, Luigi, were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time. Montepulciano and Orvieto are two classic Tuscan hilltop gems.
