Assisi Tours - page 2

Don’t just explore Umbria’s scenery—on this tour, taste the products that the region is famous for. Meet your guide at the Assisi railway station, and take a private vehicle to your destination: a traditional winery in the hills above the city. Tour the grounds, get to know how olive oil and wine are made, and do plenty of sampling. An optional upgrade also includes salami, cheeses, bruschetta, and other regional specialties.

Thanks to this tour you can go back in time and visit our land in complete relaxation and tranquility. The itinerary will include a visit by carriage of the Hovel and the Leprosarium. Everything will be enriched by a very good and tasty picnic immersed in a vineyard under a pergola located on the slopes of the Basilica of San Francesco.

The uniqueness of a tour is the knowledge of the territory of the guide and the love that the guide himself has for his land and his beauties, proud and eager to be able to share it with others.

Degusta un buon calice di vino SAIO e le specialità del territorio nel Vigneto di Assisi tra vigneti, oliveti e querce secolari...Toccando Assisi con un dito!

Assisi  - 3/4 hours - Walking through olive trees and river. An intact piece of the Umbrian Countryside a place of harmony and silence at the foot of the great Basilica of St Francis of Assisi; a walk through this landscape becomes an inner journey - one that inspired Michelangelo Pistoletto to create a stunning work of land art. This is a woodland under Fai protection. Through a gateway in the wall surrounding the square of the Basilica Superiore in Assisi you enter in a narrow path that leads to a wide  valley floor, at the foot of the city centre.  This is no  ordinary excursion; rather, it is an ongoing, peaceful discovery, a new form of pilgrimage into history and into the sacred, through 64 hectares of nature, amid wooded tracts, cultivated fileds, walls of pink stone, clearings and olive groves - a 64 hectare plot that years of neglect had reduced to a dumping ground, but which FAI has now salvaged in its entierity.
