Testimonial
“Thoroughly enjoyable and informative”
“A wonderful input from Lucrezia… who went out of her way to inform us fully”
ACE customers on a previous Piero della Francesca tour with Lucrezia Walker
FITNESS / PRACTICALITIES
This tour requires a high level of fitness, as most days involve visits to hilltop towns, which are steep and have many cobbled roads. It is necessary for the coach to park in designated coach parks at the bottom of these towns, and although Perugia and Urbino have lifts/escalators to assist in reaching the top, once in these towns, participants will be required to navigate hilly and steep streets. Arezzo and Cortona must be accessed on foot and there are steep climbs.
