On a Love Umbria tour you will travel in comfort in a small group, be entertained by local hosts and guides and be looked after by a professional tour manager.
Love Umbria aims not only to give you a memorable vacation in Italy, but in the process to allow you to really experience the rich and diverse culture of Italy as well as fantastic Italian food and wine. Our itineraries allow you to enjoy a well-chosen, balanced mix of the history, culture and cuisine of Italy and each day is planned to bring fascinating, diverse new experiences and sights.
Love Umbria tours are also designed to introduce you not just to the well-known sights and sounds of Italy, but also to people and places off the beaten track away from the massed coach parties, discovering hidden gems and local highlights that are often missed by other groups.
On a Love Umbria tour we guarantee you will be treated as an individual not just one of a group and because we limit our groups to a maximum of between 8 and 15 people, we are able to offer a more personalised holiday. Travelling in a small group allows you to have experiences not open to larger groups of travellers and to have the free time and flexibility to enable you to really soak up the special atmosphere of Italy.
At Love Umbria we firmly believe that we should be providing our guests with a relaxing holiday experience. We generally base our tours in one place for most of your stay so there is no packing up and moving on each day. We stay in carefully chosen accommodation and dine at special restaurants chosen by us for their beautiful settings and delicious regional cuisine.
If you feel that this sounds like your kind of vacation, we invite you to join us on a tour and we promise that we'll never forget that this is your hard-earned holiday and do our best to ensure that your vacation in Italy is the vacation of a lifetime.
