15 tours
These are the 15 best Umbria Tours: Assisi, Perugia & Orvieto. Each one carries its price, its running time and the detail that actually decides it, so you can pick and get on with the rest of the trip.
12-hour Rome day trip to Civita di Bagnoregio, Montepulciano and Orvieto, plus a 3-course lunch and Brunello wine tasting.
“Our guide Alberto was terrific and made the day smooth and enjoyable. The locations and sights were amazing, with great food and experiences. transportation and coach driver did a great job, making the whole outing come off wonderfully.”
Rome to Orvieto and Assisi by coach with lunch, guided walks, and included basilica access tied to St Francis and St Clare.
“Assisi is the best part of the trip. The town of Orvieto was nice, but it would have been convenient to have a map of the town - I never found the castle. The Italian market was a reminder of how Italians in small villages eat healthy and not processed. The meal at the restaurant was "okay", there could have been more to eat. I could have done without Orvieto and spent the whole day in Assisi.”
A 50-minute guided walk through Perugia’s underground archaeological layers under St. Lawrence Cathedral, with tablet translation and VR.
“fabulous tour underground seeing the different ages of a city. topped of with a virtual tour of part of the city through the eyes of a 3d headset. good knowledge guide and great value for money.”

Coach day trip from Florence to Assisi, Perugia, and Orvieto. See Giotto frescoes, Porziuncola, and Orvieto’s Gothic Duomo.
“Had a wonderful time. Orvieto is a charming town. Today we saw a fresco in the Vatican museum depicting the Pope reviewing the miracle. Assisi is so very peaceful even though it was quite busy. Such a relief after the big cities of Florence and Rome. Our guides were amazing, very informative.”
5 days from Rome to Assisi, Siena, Florence, Bologna, Padua and Venice, with 4-star hotels, guided sights, and timed entry.
“Highly recommend taking this tour. Clara our guide was amazing and very friendly. Thanks to Stephano who is a great driver brought us safely back to Rome. The best part of this tour was that we met so many friendly people from Australia, Canada, Lebanon and US. You require good walking / comfy shoes as there is plenty of walking to do. All the cities were just beautiful and quaint especially Assisi and Montepulciano. 'The only downside was the cost of the Gondola ride which was a rip off for Euros 35 pp. 4 of us went locally and joined 2 students on the Gondola and we ended paying Euros…”
Walk Assisi with an English guide, from Roman ruins to Piazza del Comune, ending at Saint Francis Basilica frescoes for $71.
“Lots of information and this included pountibg out places along the way which we might be interested in. Went and visited those in the afternoon along with going back to spend so e more time in some of the places visited on the Guided Tour in the morning so the Guide really provided a lot of value.”
Vintage Ape Calessino tuk-tuk tour of Assisi in 1.5 hours with a small-group guide, Giotto fresco views, and top Franciscan sights.
“Loved how out guide, Daniel, gave us so much background information and history about Assisi and the surrounding area, and periodically recapped all the information so that that we absorbed and fully understood everything! Especially loved not having to climb the steep hills, but just scooted around everywhere in our little tuk tuk...it was just the 2 of us and Daniel so we got catered to the whole time. Surprise bonus was the voucher for a delicious lunch to top it all off!”
Small-group day from Florence to Perugia and Assisi. Guided San Francesco frescoes, Carlo Acutis tomb, and Umbrian views.
“Enjoyable. Really worthwhile. However, our tour was blended with a Spanish group - all of which I believe were devout Catholic. The other half of the tour (American and Canadian). The local guide in Assisi did a good job, but struggled a little with English. She was favouring the Spanish group. This was possibly due to the fact that a few of them kept interrupting her when she was trying to speak English to the other half of the tour. She tried to keep us involved, but it felt lopsided. Definently would do this tour again with family.”
Sunrise balloon over Assisi and Perugia, then Cantina Dionigi breakfast with Sagrantino wine tasting. Pickup extra cost.
“This was by far one of the best experiences ive ever had. It was truly something special seeing so many beautiful things. The pilot was very cheerful and knowledgeable on the operation of the hot air balloon. Always felt safe and the views from the balloon are unparalleled. Unlike anything ive ever seen. Truly truly beautiful”
A 2.5-hour private walk through Assisi’s Franciscan core, from St. Clare’s pink façade to St. Francis Basilica.
