Assisi and Orvieto are two amazing places. Assisi has become extremely "touristised", but the basilica and the art are fantastic. You could very well have some guiding in Orvieto, especially the cathedral, which you yourself had to be aware contained fantastic art. Lunch was included. It was unpleasant and very bad!! Among other things, pieces of "pork" meat were served, which many, for various reasons, do not eat. The place was NOT charming or good. You could happily let people eat on their own in Orvieto or Assisi. Mao an extra hour off there. Or organized lunch at one of the 2 locations. But not the one you have chosen!

I thought both towns we visited were amazing. Orvieto and Assisi were both beautiful. The guide in Assisi did a great job. The other guide was only average. There were so many more things she could have shared about Orvieto. The lunch was awful. We drove a good distance to get to the place and the food was not good. I would skip the lunch to have more time in either Orvieto or Assisi.

This was a last minute find and I’m so glad to have gone to Orvieto and Assisi. First was a beautiful stop in Orvieto, cable car to the top of the town and then some free time to see the cathedral and look at the local markets. Then onto lunch- where I very much appreciated that lunch broke up all the driving. Then arrived at Assisi with a lovely local guide who look us through the town and we able to capture some beautiful pictures and learn this history of Assisi especially of St Clare and St Francis. For me a trip well worth making if you have a free day when in Rome. Keep in mind that’s there’s a lot of driving as Assisi is quite far away, so if that’s not your thing this isn’t the trip for you.
