Located between Florence and Rome, Umbria is blessed with idyllic landscapes to rival neighbouring Tuscany, earning its title of the ‘green heart of Italy’.

Umbria’s forested mountain ridges, shady olive groves and rolling fields of sunflowers are enhanced by medieval hill towns filled with sunny piazzas, domed cathedrals and cobbled laneways, and a distinct lack of tourist hordes—offering visitors an uncrowded, authentic and rewarding taste of regional Italy.

Discover the perfect hill town of Orvieto on our Food Lover’s Francigena tour, sampling the best in Italian cuisine as you walk one of the prettiest sections of the Via Francigena from Parma to Rome; or follow the footsteps of Francis of Assisi from Chiusi to Città di Castello, visiting Franciscan monasteries, medieval hamlets and hill top castles as you pass through the unfolding landscapes of eastern Tuscany and northern Umbria.

Join us as we explore the gorgeous green heart of Italy by foot!
