Umbria full-day tour of Orvieto and Assisi

-What you can expect-
Travel to the heart of Umbria and explore two of its most enchanting destinations: **Orvieto** and **Assisi**, nestled in the rolling hills of central Italy.

Your adventure begins in **Orvieto**, a town dramatically perched on a volcanic tuff cliff. Admire the stunning **Gothic Duomo**, with its mosaic-covered façade and intricate sculptures. Inside (entrance not included), marvel at Luca Signorelli's frescoes and the kaleidoscope of light from the stained-glass windows. Visit the incredible **St. Patrick's Well** (ticket not included), a 16th-century engineering wonder designed with double spiral staircases leading deep into the rock. Then, wander through Orvieto's charming medieval streets, lively piazzas, and artisan workshops, where you can find unique local crafts.

In the afternoon, continue to **Assisi**, the spiritual heart of Umbria and the birthplace of Saint Francis and Saint Clare. With an expert guide, walk through the town's winding alleys and visit the **Basilica of Saint Francis**, decorated with masterpieces by Giotto, Cimabue, and others. Then, step into the serene **Basilica of Saint Clare**, dedicated to one of Francis' first and most faithful followers.

Before returning to Florence, make a final stop at the impressive **Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels**, built over the humble **Porziuncola**, where the Franciscan movement began. A perfect blend of history, art, and spirituality awaits on this unforgettable day trip through Umbria.
