About the trip

This Riviera Travel solo holiday runs through the green heart of Italy, from Perugia's bustling university streets to Assisi’s hilltop basilica with its frescoes by Giotto. You see medieval squares, underground fortress passages, and the gentle bustle of local cafés. The journey continues to Lake Trasimeno, where a ferry crosses the water to a wooded island, followed by Cortona’s terracotta rooftops and panoramic views from the Piazza del Duomo.

Spoleto offers its Roman ruins and a bridge with a fortress looming above, before you taste the region's Sagrantino wine and olive oil in the countryside. A visit to the Frasassi Caves introduces a contrast: immense, white caves shaped over a million years with stalactites and stalagmites filling vast chambers. The tour concludes in Orvieto, set atop volcanic rock, where the cathedral glows with gilded frescoes and a ride on a funicular brings you to the old town, followed by lunch at a rural restaurant serving Umbrian specialities.

The pace balances guided excursions and free afternoons to appreciate the subtle local rhythms, such as Perugia's under-city bustle or the hushed lanes of Assisi. This small-group trip takes a thoughtful route through lesser-known sights, with enough time to catch the quiet details alongside the bigger attractions.
