About Cortona
Cortona's history is written into its walls: Etruscan foundations, medieval stone lanes, and Renaissance churches stacked on a hill above the Valdichiana. To read that story properly, a local guide makes the difference — the Cortona: Private 2-Hour Guided Tour of Tuscan History and Views pairs the town's past with its famous panoramas, while the Cortona: guided walking tour through the alleys and history of the Etruscan village digs into the older layers beneath the Tuscan surface.

Frequently asked questions
Cortona's past spans Etruscan, Roman, medieval and Renaissance layers, and its compact hilltop centre means that history is packed into a walkable area. A focused history and culture tour connects those layers — the Etruscan walls, the medieval alleys, the churches and palazzi — rather than simply pointing out viewpoints.
