Great tour!
Maura gave us a great tour of Perugia. She was engaging and extremely knowledgable and was able to show us around the major sights and explain the history and art of the city. Highly recommended!
via Viator
Amazing experience
Maura is a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable and entertaining. Umbria has beautiful towns and cities, and Maura brings their history alive. We first booked her for Perugia, but we were so impressed we went later to Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto and Spoleto. Thank you !

Exploring Perugia with Maura is the epitome of good fortune
We could not feel more fortunate to have learned about Perugia from Maura. She is infinitely knowledgeable about Perugia:its history, art, architecture, monuments. She guided us to the most charming patisserie for a macchiato, and taught us about chocolate, a passion of ours. She is so very lovely. We plan to return so that she can create meaningful visits for us in Spello and Spoleto. Maura is a gift to Umbria as well as its tourists!
Response from the operator: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful and generous review. It was truly a pleasure exploring Perugia together and sharing its history, art and little local traditions with you. I especially enjoyed our stop for coffee and chocolate - it is always wonderful to meet guests who are curious not only about the monuments but also about the authentic flavors and passions that make Umbria so special. Your words mean a great deal to me, and I feel very lucky to have met such thoughtful and enthusiastic travelers. I will be delighted to welcome you back and help you discover Spello and Spoleto on your next visit! Until then, thank you again for your kindness and for choosing to spend your time in Umbria with me.

If You’re Touring Umbria Without Maura Baldoni, You’re Doing It Wrong.
If You’re Touring Umbria Without Maura Baldoni, You’re Doing It Wrong. Let me shout this from the medieval rooftops of Perugia and the sacred stones of Assisi: Maura Baldoni is the ultimate Umbrian tour guide. Hands down, no contest, she’s in a league of her own. We’ve hired Maura not once, but twice—and I’m telling you now, she’ll be our go-to for every single Umbrian adventure from here on out. Why? Because Maura isn’t just a tour guide… she’s a master storyteller, a historian with a poet’s soul, a professor with a passion that pulses through every cobblestone and cathedral she introduces you to. With degrees in languages and the arts, and a professorship in Perugia, Maura's brain is a treasure chest—but her gift lies in how she brings it all to life. Ever had a guide make you feel like you were dropped into a living, breathing movie? That’s Maura. She doesn’t just tell you history—she weaves it, paints it, and serves it like a rich, slow-cooked Umbrian stew. One minute you’re in the present, the next, you’re ensorcelled—completely transported to another time. Two hours fly by like magic, and you’re left wanting more. She folds juicy, delicious little stories into history like a flaky sfogliatella—layered, surprising, and oh-so-satisfying. And here’s the thing—Maura makes you feel like the smartest person in the room. She doesn’t lecture, she dances with your curiosity. Every question you ask? She makes it feel like the most intuitive, insightful question ever posed. It’s a true gift. Beyond the history and the heart, Maura introduces you to local artists and shops, giving you an authentic, behind-the-scenes taste of Umbrian life. You don’t just see Umbria—you feel it, touch it, live it. Her depth of knowledge about art, artifacts, and the tapestry that is Italian culture is truly soul-nourishing. It’s why people fall in love with Italy—and why you’ll fall in love with Maura too. She’s beauty inside and out, and once you’ve toured with her, every other guide will feel like a pale shadow. Next stop: Spello and Spoleto—with Maura, of course.
Response from the operator: Vivian, I have no words to say THANK YOU for such an incredible review!!! You are a true poet! ... And you know what?!... I felt it from the very first instant of our meeting! "Kindred Spirits". I miss you and I hope we will meet again soon!!! Grazie

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perugia.
How much does Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels cost?
+
Prices start at $285 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perugia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perugia is not rushed.
Is Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perugia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perugia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perugia and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perugia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perugia?
+
On Outty we rank every Perugia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taste Perugia: The Original Perugia Food Tour (All-Inclusive), Taste Umbria: Full Meal Walking Tour in Perugia by Do Eat Better, Organic cooking class with a sommelier in an Olive and wine farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perugia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perugia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Private Guided Tour of Perugia and its Art Jewels?
