Here's what our customers have to say
Ron Redman
We loved everything about Umbria: the people, the food, the wine, the weather, the La Ginestra apartment and the farm on which it was situated.
Mike & Teri Chaves
This was our fourth UnTour and the best! The apartment, Il Girasole, was beautiful and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Jo-Anne Rowe is by far the most available and interactive on-site staff person we have ever worked with.
Marcy & Steve Halsted
We loved everything about Umbria! It was nice to be in a location with other UnTourists as it gave us social opportunities in the evening. Umbria has many special discoveries like the Piano Grande with its wildflowers.
Melinda Fraiser
Umbria was a great introduction to Italy. The towns were small and accessible and everyone was friendly.
Joan Day
The hill towns were lots of fun and they have marvelous restaurants. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Barbara and John Natale
The food everywhere in Umbria was wonderful. Our favorite towns were Trevi where we had cappuccino in the square every morning and wonderful streets to wander, Spello with its flowers on every doorstep and in every window, Bevagna and Gubbio which had colorful banners hanging everywhere as well as beautiful flowers.
Ron Henricksen
It was the best tour I've been on and I've been on many.
Roy E. Anthony
The scenery was gorgeous and the towns within driving distance were unique and typified Roman history, as did our apartment which we loved. It all allowed us to truly experience Italy.
Frank & Donna Symour
Our Umbrian experience met and exceeded our expectations in every way! The location within the region gave easy access to major roads and sites of interest were easily reached.
