Embark on a spiritual journey through the picturesque towns of Umbria on this full-day excursion. With convenient pick-ups from Foligno, Spoleto, Todi, Perugia, and Gubbio, you'll delve into the storied past of Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis. Get to know the patron saint of Italy as you wander through the charming streets of Assisi, taking in the unique blend of Roman ruins and medieval architecture, where ancient history meets modern-day living. Visit the iconic Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, where Saint Francis renounced worldly possessions to live a life of poverty. Your journey continues at the Convent of San Damiano, where you'll discover the fascinating story of Saint Clare, founder of the Order of the "Clarisse". Next, venture to the serene Eremo delle Carceri (Carceri Hermitage), nestled in the forest above Assisi, a tranquil retreat where Saint Francis would come to pray. After a satisfying lunch, make your way to the picturesque town of Spello, perched on the slopes of Mount Subasio. Bask in the breathtaking views of the Umbrian plains, olive groves, and vineyards. Take the opportunity to sample local wines and olive oils, and if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of the vibrant market scene, where ancient traditions thrive. The charming village of Collepino, nestled in the forest between Assisi and Spello, is your final destination. Once home to shepherds and woodcutters, this tiny village offers a glimpse into a bygone era.
