Tours:
Italy's Umbrian region borders southern Tuscany and its attractive, gently rolling landscape makes it the perfect partner to your Tuscan vacation. Umbria is home to Assisi, the cradle of the Franciscan movement founded by St. Francesco. Architecturally, historically, naturally, culturally or spiritually, a visit to Umbria is a perfect extension to a vacation in Tuscany or a fabulous holiday destination on its own.
Umbria, "the Green Heart of Italy", has so many spectacular sites within a short driving distance that it is the perfect destination for an exciting but relaxing holiday. Our local representative can introduce you to many "off the beaten track" adventures other tourists miss.
