Itinerary
Board a luxury coach in the morning for a comfortable journey accompanied by an expert tour leader who will share historical context and stories about the sites ahead.
Your first destination is the serene hilltop town of Assisi, known as the birthplace of St. Francis, one of Italy’s most revered saints. Upon arrival, you'll have free time to explore this medieval town’s charming streets at your own pace.
Pass by: Discover this beautiful Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Clare, a key figure of Franciscan history, and home to her tomb and sacred relics, including the famous Crucifix of San Damiano.
The day’s final stop brings us to Orvieto , dramatically perched atop a volcanic tuff cliff, offering a unique perspective of central Italy's geological and cultural heritage. As the coach approaches, your tour leader will provide a fascinating introduction to this stunning city and its highlights.
Pass by: Discover this breathtaking Gothic masterpiece, famous for its stunning façade and extraordinary frescoes, including the powerful Last Judgment.
Pass by: Explore this engineering marvel of the Renaissance, a deep double-spiral well designed to supply water during times of siege.
Once you arrive, you’ll have free time to explore Civita de Bagnoregio ,often called "The Dying City" because of its dramatic cliffside setting and fragile, eroding terrain. Perched atop a volcanic tuff hill and reachable only by a pedestrian bridge, this captivating village offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Stroll along its ancient cobblestone paths, admire charming stone houses, and take in sweeping views over the scenic valleys below. Here, you’ll have time to wander its storied streets, visit artisan boutiques, and capture photos of one of Italy’s most dreamlike landscapes.
Relax on the coach as you make your way back to the capital, with the tour leader available for any questions or insights. End your enriching day trip back in Rome, filled with memories of Assisi’s tranquility and Orvieto’s dramatic beauty.

Traveler reviews
An unforgettable trip.
Highly recommended! We are on our honeymoon, and it is quite good; one wishes for more time in the cities, but it would definitely be impossible due to their beauty.
A Ride More than a Tour
It's not really a tour, rather transportation to these sites. We got dropped off and were on our own. No skipping long lines , no info at each holy place, and not enough time to really see it all before having to get back to a meeting place. Assisi was especially disappointing, with super long lines . Many in our group saw very little in the allotted 2 hours. Our guide clearly was not Catholic and did not know key info at some places. But you're really paying for the bus not a tour...and when the guide spoke on the bus about where we were going he did so in 3 languages which was very annoying. I would have preferred English only .
Very nice trip!
This trip is amazing; our guide, Toziano and drivers Simone and Stefan were great. There is quite a bit of walking, especially at Civita. It is a long day. You see the Umbria countryside on the busride between cities. Wheat fields, vineyards, mountains. There is also adequate free time in each place. Toziano gave us info on the important sights and meanings of each stop. He also gave us clear instructions on where our meeting points were and the times to meet.
Visit to Assis
Tyziano mui bueno. Muito bom. I love
Excellent tour with Tiziano!
We had a great experience with Tiziano as our guide! We had a few people who got lost, and he did an excellent job helping to locate and make sure no one got left behind. Excellent trip!
