Transport, both entrances and the Assisi guide are included at €288 per person, lunch and tips are not. The operator needs an exact address and phone number. ## Overview The tour starts from your hotel, a chance to spend a delightful day out of Rome to visit Umbria, one of the most picturesque regions of Italy rich in vineyards, olive trees and the famous hilltop villages. One of the most famous is Assisi, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mystic town of Saint Francis, surrounded by its ancient walls, was built on the green slopes of Mount Subasio and with its colorful houses of stone, narrow streets, flowering balconies and noble palaces provide beautiful views for memorable pictures (do not forget your camera). An interesting visit to St. Francis Basilica, with its early Renaissance masterpieces by Giotto and Cimabue, and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Time for lunch in a typical restaurant (optional) and then the tour continues to Orvieto, where you can admire a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with a glistening façade of stained glass, mosaics and sculptures. Soak up Orvieto’s charm and explore the city center and then Back to Rome. ## Key facts - Price: from €288 per person - Duration: 10h - Rating: 4.85/5 from 109 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Welcome Italy - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Shared Small Group Option | €288 / person (for 2+ people) | English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian | Small Group Tour: Maximum 6 people per minivan and up to 12 people with the guide in Assisi Duration: 10 hours: Time may vary depending on traffic Van max 6/7 people Pickup included | | Private Tour Option | €428 / person (for 2+ people) | English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian | Pickup included | ## What's included - Headsets for the Basilica of San Francesco - Entrance to the Cathedral of Orvieto - Free transfer offered by Welcome Italy in air conditioning Minivan - Visit of the Cathedral of Orvieto - Entrance to the Basilica of San Francesco - 2 hour professional guide in Assisi ## Not included - Lunch & Drinks - Tips ## Itinerary 1. **Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli** (30m) - An interesting visit to St. Francis Basilica with his early Renaissance master-pieces by Giotto and Cimabue and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
