Our wonderful day-tour in this special part of Umbria will give you a first-hand experience into the culture and artistry of Assisi and Deruta.
Deruta ceramics have been made in this area of Umbria dating back to medieval times. Their handmade, hand-painted ceramics are known all over the world for their traditional designs, as well as their newer contemporary styles. On this day, you will be visiting a generations-old family-run ceramics factory. With the help of a master potter, you will have the unique opportunity to try your hand at the potter’s wheel and create your own design! There is also a wonderful and expansive showroom for those that are interested in purchasing their high-quality and factory-direct low prices. They ship world-wide and is 100% Guaranteed.
Our next stop is the beautiful hilltop town of Assisi. Best-known as the birthplace of St. Francis and the Franciscan Order, you will marvel at the beautiful architecture, charming streets and the majesty of the Basilica of St. Francis. |
