Orvieto, Todi & Assisi
Discover the timeless allure and spiritual heart of Umbria on an exclusive private day trip from Rome, exploring the cliffside majesty of Orvieto, the medieval tranquility of Todi, and the sacred legacy of Assisi.
The Tour
Leave the bustling streets of Rome behind for an unforgettable journey into the green heart of Italy, where rolling emerald hills, olive groves, and historic hilltop hamlets define the tranquil landscapes of Umbria. Your private English-speaking driver greets you directly at your hotel lobby in a luxury vehicle, ensuring a smooth, relaxing drive north into this storied region.
Your morning begins in the dramatic town of Orvieto, an ancient Etruscan settlement perched high atop a sheer volcanic tufa bluff. As you wander through its historic stone-paved lanes, you will take in panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside, blanketed with olive orchards and prestigious vineyards. Explore the town’s quiet piazzas and marvel at its crowning architectural triumph, the monumental Gothic Duomo, famed for its golden mosaics and intricately carved facade.
Continuing through scenic rural valleys, your next destination is the ancient town of Todi, an architectural gem of extraordinary harmony overlooking the Tiber Valley. Enclosed by three concentric rings of walls—Etruscan, Roman, and medieval—Todi offers a peaceful escape into the past. Here, you will have the opportunity to pause for a leisurely lunch at a local trattoria, savoring authentic Umbrian pasta, artisan cheeses, and regional wines in the shadow of the historic Piazza del Popolo.
In the afternoon, your driver brings you to Assisi, the world-renowned medieval town resting gently upon the slopes of Mount Subasio. Revered as the spiritual cradle of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, the town exudes an unmistakable sense of serenity and timeless beauty. Spend the afternoon exploring the historic center, focusing on the area surrounding the Basilica of Santa Chiara. Admire the basilica’s striking pink-and-white stone facade, visit the chapel housing the historic San Damiano crucifix, and wander the winding medieval alleyways lined with artisan boutiques and panoramic terraces. After a deeply rewarding day immersed in Umbria's art, heritage, and scenic countryside, sit back and unwind on your comfortable return journey to your hotel in Rome.
