Foligno, an ancient town built in the middle of the Umbrian Valley, is traditionally considered the center of Italy and the world. The town is characterized by amazing medieval palaces and fascinating churches, such as the Romanesque-style church of Santa Maria Infraportas. You will be then guided in the mainsquare of Foligno, Piazza della Repubblica, and you will visit the Cathedral of San Feliciano, characterized by its two magnificent facades and the mixture of styles belonging to different eras: Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Neoclassical. Finally, you will admire the wonderful Palazzo Trinci, a medieval palace connected to the cathedral by a fascinating “suspension bridge” and built in the Gothic style in the early fifteenth century. Particularly famous is the precious cycle of frescoes painted by Gentile da Fabriano to embellish many halls of the palace, such as the notorious Hall of the Liberal Arts and Planets and the Hall of the Giants, decorated with monumental figures from the ancient Roman history, such as Emperors Augustus and Nero.

Board a tuk-tuk and enjoy a spiritual tour while exploring Assisi on a private tour. A unique and unrepeatable experience to discover the life of St. Francis. Take advantage of this fantastic tour to discover a magical medieval Assisi! Assisi is the city of Saints, Saint Francis and Saint Clare, and is the symbol of a message of peace to breathe at every step of its beautiful streets. Assisi is an Umbrian jewel in the province of Perugia that lies gently on the slopes of Mount Subasio. From here St. Francis started to try to change the Church as an institution and, as Giosuè Carducci described it, “Assisi is a great beautiful thing, country, city and sanctuary” to be bewitched by. Assisi, with its historic center and its symbolic monuments, became a UNESCO site in 2000 because it is considered a rare example of historical continuity between the city, its cultural landscape and the entire territorial system.

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.

On board the tuk tuk you will discover the colors and lights of Spello with a comfortable and fun vehicle! A tasting of local wine and oil will make this fantastic experience unique in an enchanting setting like Spello. A perfect trip for the whole family to enjoy! We will tell you the history, the principles and our methods of production and refinement, making you passionate about the wonderful Umbrian territory where you can take beautiful photos in memory of this fantastic experience

The Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi is a treasure that shows its splendor from the square in which it is located. Its spiritual and cultural value makes this building one of the most visited UNESCO monuments in the world. It not only houses the remains of Saint Francis, who was born in Assisi, founded the order, died and wanted to be buried there. It is also a gigantic book of images that narrate his life, the philosophy that inspired him and the greatness of his ideals. Scenes from the Old and New Testaments set in Italian cities 800 years ago were also made. Thus we see medieval knights and ladies at the feet of Christ on the Cross or the Last Supper celebrated around a table with plates, glasses, knives and jugs for water and wine. Beautiful women with light skin and golden hair who wear silk dresses and veils. A true “illustrated book” that our guide will help you decipher.
