On the Treyn Rail Holiday tour 'Beautiful Umbria' (and parts of Tuscany) we managed to fit in the Umbrian towns/cities of  Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi and the Tuscan towns/cities of Arezzo, Cortona, Florence and even a few hours in Turin and our base in Passignano on the lake  Lago Trasimeno and the boat trip to Isola Maggiore plus ending this great Treyn tour with a visit to the Giorgio Lungarotti Winery deep in the Umbrian countryside. Most of the places were scheduled on the Treyn Trip 'Beautiful Umbria' but 'Treyn Man' John Raymond helped us to organise trips for people to Cortona, Arezzo and Florence e.g. advice on what to see and train times and fares!
