Add an ExtensionItaly: Tuscany & Umbria
Experience a cornucopia of hidden gems on this true insider’s walking tour of Tuscany and Umbria. With their deep knowledge of art history, our Italian leaders show you the Basilica of Assisi’s extraordinary frescoes. In Siena, discover the Palio horse race from a local expert—and get exclusive insider access to its famous Duomo. Indulge in local farm-to-table fare at an agriturismo that produces its own cheese and olive oil—exploring the exquisite vintages of Montalcino at a neighboring estate. Keep an eye out for wild horses on the slopes of Mount Subasio and soak your tootsies in the medieval baths at Bagno Vignoni. Along the way, your leaders will take you off the beaten path to discover spectacular scenery, rich cultural traditions, and a host of congenial Italian friends.
Highlights
- With an expert leader, discover Giotto’s 28-part fresco, The Life of St. Francis, which graces the walls of Assisi’s iconic Basilica of St. Francis.
- Savor an unforgettable meal of traditional cuisine as you peer through the glass bottom of a remarkable restaurant that sits atop excavated Roman ruins.
- Trek a dramatic path through an isolated valley of wheat fields and olive groves to the 12th-century, Romanesque Abbey of Sant’Antimo.
- Experience the architectural beauty of Siena’s famous Piazza del Campo (home to the world-renowned Palio horse race), as your local leader regales you with stories.
- Hike the slopes of Mt. Subasio, amidst grazing sheep, Chianina cows, and semi-wild horses (before reaching a charming hamlet and your rewarding lunch stop).
