Later, settle into your chosen hotel in Perugia, Orvieto, or Cortona.

Today, consider a captivating visit to two of Umbria's renowned cities- Perugia and Assisi. Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis (San Francesco), overlooks a scenic valley surrounded by gentle slopes and vineyards.

This morning, embark on a scenic journey to Tuscany, tracing a route along the shores of the picturesque Lake Trasimeno. Take a moment to pause and enjoy lunch in one of the charming villages, such as Passignano sul Trasiemeno. Indulge in the experience of savoring a renowned red wine, perhaps the regal 'king' Brunello di Montalcino, in a rustic wine shop crafted from traditional Tuscan stones. Check into your hotel in Chianti, San Gimignano, or Siena.

Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Tuscany today, exploring some of its destinations such as Siena, San Gimignano, and Chianti.
