What to expect

Your driver will collect you from your Rome hotel early morning and drive you into Umbria's rolling countryside. In Assisi, expect climbing steep cobbled lanes to reach the main religious sites; the driver accompanies you inside to explain the frescoes, chapels and significance of each space. You'll have free time to wander and absorb the quiet atmosphere of this small hilltop town. After lunch (at your own expense in a local trattoria), you'll travel to Orvieto, perched on a volcanic plateau. Here you'll see the cathedral's stunning façade up close before returning to Rome in the late afternoon.
