A treasure's island of art immerse in countryside
Joined 2023
We'll wander around one of most charming city in the world, capital of Umbria, piercing through its many layers of history, architecture, nature, and gastronomic joy, quite avoiding the mainstream tracks in a full-immersive tour. The magic that pervades buildings, streets, monuments and squares is almost unmatched even in the abundant Italian treasure chest. From pre-roman times through all middle-age, reinnassance and baroque, Perugia has defined its unique talent for harmony and mistery.

About Tour Guide Paolo T.
With a university degree in History, I worked all my life in the promotion of smart tourism, trying to unveil the magic that often cannot be discovered through mass tourism's overrun tracks. First based in Sicily, then in Berlin, now in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, the perfect mix of gorgeous nature, architecture and food experiences, I offer walking excursions as well as e-bike and Vespa motorbike tours. I try hard to grow people awareness that holiday and spare time, are all but marginal part of our Life, in fact being the most important part of life, where knowledge and pleasure create happiness and good memories.

“Wonderful Paulo”
Paolo did an exceptional job leading our tour. He had done extra studying and amazed us with little known and amusing facts about the cathedral. My whole group was fascinated by him and his presentation. In addition, as a really pleasant surprise, he had made reservations for the eight of us for a delicious lunch.

Dear Marylin, the whole group was an excellent and stimulating receiver for my efforts, it was a genuine pleasure. Then, a couple of people in the group had already visited Orvieto, so I wanted to give you more than a first time tour. See you next time!!

“Highly enjoyable and informative tour”
Paolo has a wealth of knowledge about Perugia, its history, its secrets, its people, and more, and he is happy to share as much (or as little) as you would like to see and know. I wanted to know "as much" as he could tell me, and he did not disappoint. While he does cover some of the best known sites and points, Paolo prefers to take his guests to the hidden/less known places that are equally or more interesting/beautiful than the famous ones, and where there are few to no tourists. We saw some astounding spots and had a number of them to ourselves. Paolo also got us access to certain features/inner sanctums/private workshops, etc. that are not normally easy for tourists to find or access on their own. He is easy to talk to and his tour was well paced. (He is also prepared to tailor his tour to be shorter, longer, specific to your interests, etc.) I highly recommend him.
