Day 1-2 Rome โ The Eternal Cityโs Culinary Foundations

Day 3-5: Umbria โ The Green Heart of Italy
Next, we head into Umbria, Italyโs tranquil โgreen heart,โ where the pace of our tour will slow down.

After the bustling energy of Rome, weโll have time to wander through side streets, discover local artisans, and enjoy the regionโs pristine beauty.
