- Centro Storico Orvieto - Depart from Rome and head north in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, following the River Tiber towards Tuscany. After approximately 1.5 hours, arrive in the stunning town of Orvieto. This hilltop town, seemingly emerging from the volcanic rock it rests upon, boasts a history dating back to Etruscan times.
Take a leisurely walk around the town, exploring highlights such as the 14th-century Orvieto Cathedral, a Gothic architectural masterpiece with a dazzling façade of stained glass, mosaics, and sculptures. Enjoy the charm of Orvieto and admire the numerous churches scattered throughout its center.
- Castiglione del Lago - Pause for a traditional lunch.
- Lake Trasimeno - Board the coach again and travel through the picturesque hills towards Umbria, Tuscany’s equally enchanting neighbor. Enjoy lunch on the shores of Lake Trasimeno before continuing to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Assisi.
- Basilica di Santa Chiara - The Basilica of Saint Clare (Basilica di Santa Chiara in Italian) is located in Assisi, central Italy. It is dedicated to and houses the remains of Saint Clare of Assisi, a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi and founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, now known as the Order of Saint Clare.
- Santa Maria Maggiore - Another significant site to visit is the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, also known as the Sanctuary of the Stripping, where the body of San Carlo Acutis (beatified on October 10, 2020) is enshrined.
- Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - Explore The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, the principal church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi, located in the Umbria region of central Italy, where Saint Francis was born and died. The basilica, which began construction in 1228, is built into a hillside and includes two churches (the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the saint’s remains are interred.

Assisi forty years later - I had been to Assisi about forty years ago, and the atmosphere of that time has not changed much; the peace of the places, the mysticity of the events, although more populated, the recollection in walking through its alleys, and 'almost remained, as the kindness and friendliness of the people, hoteliers, restaurateurs, personal assistants.
The thing I haven't found again, and I realize, prosaic compared to the place, is the food: I've been to three restaurants, Il Menestrello, La Volta Antica and Antichi Sapori and none of the three has shone, much less acceptable, even with a medium high price level. Too bad! It would have taken so little: avoid serving a cold pizza, do not forget a dish in the command or be good but excessive for the price.
It'll be for another round.

Beautiful Views in Assisi - Despite not being able to go into the St Francis basilica due to his remains being there…. And not having tickets up front to see St Francis or the Basilica…. Still had a wonderful and amazing visit! Views were stunning in March, despite a quick rain full…. In which we were able to easily run into a shop and by an umbrella at a very reasonable price! Loved going up the tall clock tower and seeing views which went on for a few miles. Cobblestone all over the place along with older homes adorned outside as well by short stairs, added to the beauty of the town. Don’t miss it!! Assisi has a lot to offer!

You can feel the Italian Middle Ages. - Thank you for organizing this tour on the first day of the new year and making it safe. On New Year's Day, we decided to use the tour because the museums and churches in Rome are closed. From Rome, I was able to take a short trip to Olivierto and Assisi, which takes a lot of time by train and car, to experience the medieval world. For lunch, we had lasagna, pork and tiramisu, and you could choose the wine of your choice, which was also delicious. Lunch is only served at lunch, so if you want Olivierte wine, you should buy it as a souvenir when you stop by in the morning. We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour and also we were very happy to see the beautiful nature in Yukon. I will definitely make a choice the next time I get another tour opportunity. Thank you very much.

Very good guides and bus... - Very good guides and bus driver. Eduardo, the bus guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. The bus driver got us there and back with no issues. The local guide in Assisi was quite thorough. Assisi and Orvieto are definitely worth visiting. I would use Green Line again.

Needed more time - Cristina, our tour guide was very personable, kind, and informative about Rome and Orvieto. I wish she would’ve been our guide at Assisi! Our guide in Assisi, Maria, was hard to understand with her heavy Spanish accent and many jokes we did not understand. Also, We did not get a thorough explanation of Assisi’s basilica so that was disappointing. In general, this tour lacked chronological information about assist’s life. And prior to booking and/or our departure, we should have been given a clear timeline of how day would unfold. 45 minutes to visit Orvieto and 45 minutes to visit Assisi was simply not enough time. Lunch was mediocre. No lunch options nor beverages included.

Not bad, but it could be better - It's a little tired for older adults, it gets a little long. Maybe it was because it was Christmas, the guide I played almost didn't speak Spanish, and it was contracted with guide in Spanish, then the explanations were scarce, except in Asis that the guide was local and if I explain everything in Spanish. Frankly lunch was very scarce (a little bit of pasta, the main course a slice of pork and a few bits of roast potato and dessert a bit of cake) and the drinks were not included. Described sounds good, but the portions were very small. If I had to give you a grade of 1 to 10 I'd give you a 6.

Beautiful religious sites, terrible tour experience - Churches and religious sites were incredible, but this tour is disastrously organized and the food was dire. Unfortunately the bus was also extremely overheated and reeked of cigarette smoke. This tour makes for a very long day, including going quite far out of the way to eat a small, bland lunch at a random roadside restaurant which no one enjoyed. Would be much better to give visitors more free time in one of the towns to eat lunch on their own. The Orvieto visit was nice because the town is quite small, but this schedule doesn't leave nearly enough time to see everything in Assisi. We visited over the holidays when the train schedules were quite limited, which is why we chose the tour. If at all possible, I definitely recommend driving or taking a train to visit these towns on your own time, which would be cheaper and make for a better experience.
