Description

Tour to Assisi and Orvieto from Rome - The real Italy, far away from the modern highways and large cities, where small ancient villages are waiting to be discovered in the heart of the Umbrian countryside. Assisi is an oasis of art and architecture and home of San Francesco one of italy's most loved Saints.
A tour that unveils the religious architecture of Umbria and the wines and local products of Tuscany.

Leaving Rome in a northerly direction, driving along the Tiber Valley, we reach Orvieto, a small town of Etruscan origins where we stop to admire the magnificent 14th century cathedral, a masterpiece of gothic architecture.
The tour continues through the green Tuscan Hills covered in olive groves and vineyards. This is the home of some of Italy’s best-known D.O.C. (quality controlled) wines, which include Orvieto, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. Traditional, local dishes will be served for lunch.

In the early afternoon, having driven along the shores of Lake Trasimeno, we reach Assisi, built at the foot of Mount Subasio. Here, during a guided stroll through the lanes of this historic town, you will see the Church of St. Claire, St Francis’ birthplace, his childhood home, Townhall Square with its People’s Palace, Roman Temple dedicated to Minerva and of course the Townhall itself.
Visit St. Francis’ Basilica, close to the ancient city walls, with its magnificent frescoes painted between the 12th and 14th centuries. Leaving Assisi, we stop at the town of Santa Maria degli Angeli named after its church inside which, in the Chapel of Porziuncola, St. Francis died in 1226.

Reaching Rome around 7:30/8:00 pm, you will be dropped off in the vicinity of your hotel.
