CORTONA - GUIDED WALKING TOURS WITH LOCAL GUIDES

 

CLASSICAL TOUR: Birth place of famous artists as Luca Signorelli and Pietro da Cortona, this hilly town is known also for its "Tuscan Sun Festival", which beyond its muscial programme includes unique culinary and literary events, wine tastings and art exhibitions.
