Where Silence Becomes An Experience

Discover Umbria

Umbria is Italy’s quiet soul — a land of forested hills, sacred stone towns, and traditions that flow as steadily as its rivers.
It’s less visited than its neighbors, but all the more rewarding for those who seek connection over spectacle.
Here, time slows in medieval streets.
Frescoes speak across centuries. And every path — whether to a vineyard or a mountaintop chapel — leads to something meaningful.
At See Italy, we create custom journeys that honor Umbria’s introspective spirit and authentic heart.
The experiences below aren’t a set itinerary or a fixed package.
They are inspirations — a mosaic of moments and possibilities to be woven into a journey that’s entirely yours.

L. Hanus, Turtle Moon Travel

“We absolutely adored the ENTIRE experience! Where do we begin? We loved every day trip that you planned for us. We loved the private boat ride to Capri with Lorenzo. Our driver Tony was an absolute favorite! He had the best personality and was extraordinarily knowledgeable about all of the Amalfi Coast. We adored our time making limoncello and learning to craft mozzarella from scratch! Lastly, we were thrilled have a real archaeologist as our guide in Pompeii. Truly a one of a kind trip!”

M. Hohmann, Traveler

“My wife and I have returned from a 2 1/2 week trip to Italy. Without a doubt, it was the best vacation on which we have ever been. We visited Rome, Sorrento, Radda in Chianti, Cinque Terre, and finally Venice. These towns allowed us to see Italy from several different perspective. See Italy provided extremely valuable logistical services and scheduled activities that were so vital to us being able to truly relax and go for the ride.”

M. Watson, Happy Traveler

“Every guide, driver, and meeting was exactly on time and we were treated like royalty. All who were responsible for us spoke very good English and were gladly helpful and personable. Our favorite activity was a private cooking class in the home of Chef Andrea. See Italy makes it very obvious that these people love their country and they are very happy to share it with you. It was a wonderful trip from start to finish!”

M. Watson, Happy Traveler

“All of our tour guides and excursions in Tuscany were excellent. We had a wonderful variety of outing – tastings at wineries, lunch at a cheese farm, cooking with an Italian chef, visiting fabulous old villas, and exploring the countryside. We were definitely seeing the real Italian wine country. See Italy was great — very attentive and able to make last-minute changes. I always felt like they were taking good care of us. We had an absolutely fabulous trip!”

Gilbert and Karen Bennett • Horseshoe Bay, TX

“So many magnificent memories from this trip. We LOVED the Vespa tour in Rome. It took us through the streets of the city and then up the hills to a nearby small town. Our hotel in Rome was just breathtaking. We were happily surprised to be upgraded to two private apartments overlooking the Spanish Steps. One night, we heard a voice singing outside. Stepping onto our terrace, we saw an orchestra and opera in the piazza below! Truly an experience of a lifetime.”

Heather Miars

“We were thrilled with our trip! I can’t use enough emojis or words to tell you how pleased we were with our trip. Every detail was thought of and taken care of. The guides chosen for us were so friendly and knowledgeable. We just soaked up every drop of information they shared. I shared our trip day-by-day on Facebook – and so many people asked who our travel agent was! This was our first trip to Italy and we will definitely be back. We’ve fallen in love!”

Terri and Larry Kibler

“I can’t adequately convey how magnificent this experience was for me. All the guides were beyond fantastic. I’ve had dozens of cool experiences in Italy, but nothing compares to this. I’ll always be grateful to you and your team for opening my eyes – not only to the wonders of Sicilia, but also to the great work you and your team are doing for guests every single day. Can’t wait to get my first booking for See Italy. Hell: I won’t even do my own itinerary next time I visit! With heartfelt gratitude and admiration.”

Jackie Lamoth • Circa Travel

“My client was so incredibly grateful for their Italy trip. I honestly could hear her crying happy tears for giving her and her family the trip of a lifetime. She absolutely loved your driver in the Amalfi Coast – he was so much fun! And, the boat captain — Giusseppe — took such good care of them. We talked about the trip an hour. I asked her if she would change anything – and she said ‘not a thing!’ The whole family has been telling everyone about their trip – exactly what we want!”
