8 Day Shared Umbria Tour Including Pickup

About this tour

This fully escorted tour covers Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio, and thermal springs across three regions, with Rome airport pickup included. You'll cook with locals, taste wines in private cellars, and eat nearly every meal as part of the package, moving at a relaxed pace that favours depth over rushing.

• Guided exploration of Orvieto's cathedral and Civita's clifftop ruins

• Meals and wine included throughout (age 18+ for wine)

What to expect

You'll base yourself in Allerona, a small hillside town where you'll return each evening. Days involve guided visits to nearby attractions—some villages perched dramatically on cliffs, others known for thermal springs—with stops at working farms, family-run wineries, and olive groves. Cooking happens in a family kitchen; tastings occur in palazzo gardens or private cellars. Expect to walk moderate distances on village streets and uneven terrain. The pace is unhurried: breakfast included, most lunches and dinners provided, wine and olive oil sampled regularly. A minibus ferries the group between locations.
