Tour Overview

Assisi and Orvieto Driving Tour: Explore Two Umbrian Gems

Experience the charm and history of Umbria on an unforgettable Assisi and Orvieto driving tour. With our expert driver and guide, you’ll explore two of Italy’s most iconic hill towns, each offering a unique glimpse into centuries of art, culture, and tradition.

Assisi: The Spiritual Heart of Umbria

Begin your journey in Assisi, a town crowned by an imposing castle and cascading gracefully down to the Basilica of San Francesco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This sacred site honors Saint Francis, who renounced his wealth to embrace a life of poverty and founded the Franciscan Order in the 13th century. Walk the cobblestone streets, feel the serenity of this spiritual haven, and uncover the timeless legacy of one of Christianity’s most influential figures.

Orvieto: A Volcanic Masterpiece

From Assisi, travel to Orvieto, a town perched on a dramatic volcanic rock plateau. Its crowning jewel, the Duomo of Orvieto, rivals even Florence’s cathedral in its architectural splendor. Orvieto’s history dates back to the Etruscans, long before the rise of the Roman Empire. Wander its narrow, winding streets and immerse yourself in the town’s rich history and medieval charm.

Indulge in Umbria’s Rolling Hills and Traditions

As you’re chauffeured through Umbria’s stunning countryside, enjoy the region’s renowned wines and local flavors. These two towns are more than destinations—they’re experiences that invite you to lose yourself in their beauty, culture, and hospitality.

Detailed Itinerary

1

Basilica of Saint Francis

Admiring this church and the piazza that leads up to it is enough to make your chin drop to the floor. Once you step inside, it’s a whole other story entirely. Both the upper and lower church are covered in some of the most amazing frescos anywhere in the world.

2

Orvieto Cathedral

Dedicated in the 14th century to the Assumption of Mary. The intricately done mosaic and stone work of the facade shimmers in the Umbrian sun. Once inside, beautiful works of statuary and paintings await you at every turn.

3

Saint Patrick’s Well

Spiral down over 54 meters down St. Patrick’s well, built in the 16th century to give the people a continuous supply of water to the people of Orvieto. Each level offers a picturesque and awe-inspiring view as you lean out into the opening and see the true size of this well!
