About this tour
Spend six hours exploring two of Umbria's finest hilltop towns with a professional guide. You'll start in Assisi, visiting the spiritual heart of Franciscan Christianity, then travel by van to Perugia, where Renaissance masterworks and medieval streets reward wandering. The tour includes transport between towns and expert local commentary, though you'll explore interiors at your own pace. Lunch isn't provided, so plan ahead.
Highlights
- 14th-century frescoes in Assisi's sacred spaces
- Renaissance paintings in Perugia's galleries
- Medieval architecture of two Umbrian hilltowns
- Professional guide commentary in both locations
- Round-trip van transport from Assisi to Perugia
What to expect
Your guide will meet you in Assisi and walk you through the town's major sites, offering context on its Franciscan heritage and artistic legacy. At the basilica, expect an external explanation followed by independent entry—depending on the date, you may tour independently throughout. You'll then transfer by van to Perugia (roughly 45 minutes), where your guide continues through the city's galleries, piazzas, and museums housing significant Renaissance works. You'll have time to wander, but much of the tour is led commentary rather than free exploration. This is a cultural deep-dive, not a leisurely wander.
Good to know
Dress code strictly enforced: knees and shoulders must be covered for all sites of worship. Bring comfortable shoes for cobbled streets. The basilica in Assisi is closed to group tours on Sundays, Catholic holidays, and National holidays. Lunch is not included—eat before 11 a.m. or plan a stop in Perugia.
