This journey will certainly take you through two of the most captivating hill towns in the heart of Italy. You will be enthralled by 14th Century murals and Renaissance art. It will be like stepping back in time!
- Centro Storico di Assisi - We will meet each other and start our walking tour of Assisi exploring its old Roman Ruins. We will see remains of the local Roman Amphitheatre and the beautiful Minerva Temple, which has one of the best preserved facades of Italy.
During our tour you will also experience the athmosphere of a medieval Italian hilltown by visiting local handicraft shops (pottery, carvings, embrodery, . . . ) and having a walk through typical little alleys. The focus of our tour there will be the Basilica of Saint Francis with its magnificent frescoes by Giotto (13th - 14th C. ), one of the most important artists of Italy in the Middle Ages.
After a lunch break (not included) we will move to Perugia which is another really authentic hilltown of Umbria. Perugia is the capital of Umbria. It is a city full of charme and history. With your private guide you will walk along its city wall dating from the Etruscan age, get lost in the symbols carved by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano’s into the Fontana Maggiore and find yourself fascinated by the many layers of the Rocca Paolina.
