Fascinating City

Published on Jul, 2023

Perugia is a remarkable city with a fascinating history! We loved learning about the layers of history and culture through everything we saw. I have never heard of anything like the history of Perugia and its underground city. Michele was a knowledge guide and very patient with our children. This tour was a true highlight of our trip!
