WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Green Line Tours - Day Tours
We wait for the rest of the group after picking up at the meeting point, to leave for Umbria.
2. Centro Storico Orvieto
Leave Rome and travel north by air-conditioned coach, following the River Tiber toward Tuscany. After roughly 1.5 hours on the road, you’ll arrive in the gorgeous town of Orvieto. Seemingly sprouting out of the volcanic rock on which it stands, the hilltop town boasts a history that dates back to Etruscan times. Stretch your legs and walk around the town, seeing highlights like the 14th-century Orvieto Cathedral – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with a glistening façade of stained glass, mosaics and sculptures. Soak up Orvieto’s charms and admire the countless churches that are scattered around its center.
3. Castiglione del Lago
- Stop for a typical lunch
4. Lake Trasimeno
Return to your coach and travel through the rolling hills toward Umbria – Tuscany’s lesser known but just as captivating neighbor. Stop for lunch on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, and then continue to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Assisi.
5. Basilica di Santa Chiara
The Basilica of Saint Clare (Basilica di Santa Chiara in Italian) is a church in Assisi, central Italy. It is dedicated to and contains the remains of Saint Clare of Assisi, a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi and founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, known today as the Order of Saint Clare.
6. Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi
Visit of The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, which is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi, a town in the Umbria region in central Italy, where Saint Francis was born and died. The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches (known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the remains of the saint are interred.

This was a great trip! Our guide was excellent and seemed to really care about everyone on the trip. Orvieto was a lovely little town with a beautiful cathedral. We were also able to buy a couple of bottles of the well known local wine. In Assisi we had a local guide who was also very good. We enjoyed the tour of the town and seeing St Clare’s and St Francis’ Basilicas. The lunch was pretty good as well.

Our stop at Orvieto the historic beautiful church was interesting with amazing architecture & statues. It cost 5 euros & was self guided but well worth it. The included lunch at the next stop was fine. We enjoyed the scenic drive & getting away from the hectic pace of Rome for a day. The main attraction was Assisi. A local guide provided an excellent history of St Clare, St Francis & the medieval town. If you are interested in St Francis you need to see this. We saw his relics, his parents home & chapel, & the church built for St Francis after his death but no photos inside are allowed. There is also plenty of shopping & we had a little time for it, but wish we had more. Our tour guide (Sandra?) was very pleasant & helpful as was the young male assistant in training. She was attentive to our needs & did her best to accommodate our needs. The bus driver (Mario?) did an excellent job driving, we were so impressed with his skill. It was a long day, 13 hours & physically challenging. If you aren’t in good shape or have mobility issues, you will have difficulty. There are lots of steps, steep & uneven walkways. Otherwise I would recommend it for those interested in St Frances or history.

Sadly, the bus was 2 hrs+ late. Was told there was a fire delaying drivers route. Either way it affected the trip. Was told we’d get free wine with lunch which true but didn’t compensate for missed time in Orvieto. When we arrived at this town we’re told we had 20 minutes. That was only enough time to see the church. I’m Assisi was given a two hr tour which was interesting but had less than .5 hr to spend on our own. So if one wants to really visit these towns this won’t work for you. On the flip side, the escorts were nice enough and while waiting met other interesting travelers that helped pass the time.

The churches were absolutely beautiful! There is not enough time for both Assisi and Orvieto. The air conditioning was not working properly in the bus. It was hot and I felt sick! The driver and tour guide were very nice!

Assisi and Orvieto were beautiful places. The tour was pretty inefficient and unorganized. In Orvieto we were not explained anything and didn’t get enough free time. In Assisi the guides were frazzled and spent majority of time giving us painting background with only 20 mins to spare to get dessert, use toilet and buy souvenirs which was unrealistic. Overall would recommend these towns but either plan it yourself or a different tour agency.

A must trip when visiting Italy.
Lunch was nice but the bus needed some new shocks - a very rough ride.
Guides were kind and very informative.
It is a very long day.

We hardly had time in Orvieto and the lunch was poor. A thin hamburger with very small salad, no dessert and you had to pay for water or beverages. The restaurant way out in the country, a long drive for nothing.
The tour was quite a walk up hill down hill and hurried.
