Perugia
Perugia is a city full of charme and history. Every ancient gate, alley, piazza, palazzo and church will capture your imagination; and every museum and gallery will impress you with a sense of history, culture and art. Perugia is not just a stuffy old showcase of the ancient, it also has a young, vibrant and energetic feel. Perugia is the site of many festivals and concerts, the most important of which are the annual fall Chocolate festival and the summer Umbria Jazz festival, lending the city to a chic and urbane atmosphere unmatched by other Italian cities. Meeting point will be at Piazza Italia, from there we will go first exploring the different strata of Rocca Paolina – the so called 'Perugia underground'. Once back to the city centre, there will be a stop at a famous old fashioned but very traditional coffee shop for an espresso or a cappuccino topped with hand whipped cream. The tour will focus on the Fontana Maggiore together with the other buildings standing in the square.
Rocca Paolina
The Rocca Paolina, or Paolina Fortress, is right in the historical centre of Perugia and one can enter via a door at Porta Marzia or the escalator system that connects Piazza Italia with Piazza Partigiani.

Discovering Perugia with our guide as a cicerone was a delicious experience, as it showed us and explained the origins and formation of the city, as well as its history and gastronomy. Great experience

It was very disappointing when our English speaking guide arrived and could barely speak English. While she seemed to be a lovely person, we could only understand about 25% of what she was saying. When she couldn’t think of a date, she would say “building, very old”. I’m not sure what can be done to assure that an English speaking guide is fluent in English

Antonella was one of the best guides I ever had. Her historical knowledge was amazing and she shared perspectives from her own research that enriched and enlightened the experience. I was very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her tour!
