Travel in comfort on a modern, air conditioned coach, guided throughout the day by an expert tour leader who ensures a seamless and memorable experience.
Perugia: History, Charm and Chocolate

Enjoy free time to explore its must see spots—Piazza IV Novembre, the iconic Fontana Maggiore, the majestic Cathedral, and the fascinating underground fortress of Rocca Paolina. Wander through atmospheric medieval streets and soak in the local charm.
Perugia is also world famous for chocolate and hosts Eurochocolate, Europe’s biggest chocolate festival. You can choose to elevate your visit with an optional stop at the Chocolate Museum for an exclusive tasting experience.
Assisi: Spirituality and Timeless Beauty

After the tour, enjoy free time to shop, relax in the main square, or visit the Basilica of Saint Clare and the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis.
Final Stop: Saint Mary of the Angels
Before returning to Florence, you’ll visit the grand Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, built over the tiny Porziuncola chapel where the Franciscan movement was born.
