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 guides 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 guides will lead you off the beaten path to discover spectacular scenery, rich cultural traditions, and a host of congenial Italian friends.
Highlights
- With an expert guide, 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 guide 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).

Why did I truly enjoy the Tuscany and Umbria tour? Besides exploring picturesque Italian towns, enjoying local cuisine in cozy out of the way places, drinking fabulous wine, I absolutely loved walking the Tuscany and Umbrian hills and vineyards with our guides Alessandro and Manuela. Their love of Italy was felt and shared enthusiastically through their narration of the history of the towns and sites visited and explanation of the flora and fauna along our beautiful walks. If you are thinking about doing this tour... just do it, it is wonderful.

There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe this tour. The guides (Alex and Manuela) were simply amazing. From the places we saw to the accommodations, the food — all exceptional. Thanks, C.W. for the trip of a lifetime.
