Our guide, Barbara, in Assisi was wonderful. She had a deep passion for St. Francis, as well as the history, art and architecture connected to his life. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the visit truly special. Thank you Barbara! We had an amazing day!

My guide was so knowledgeable and dedicated. She went above and beyond to ensure I understood and was really catered to my interests. She also provided so much extra information and advice about other areas or churches to visit. Is the best tour I have had whislt in Italy. I just came from Rome.

Our guide, Patricia, was excellent! Very knowledgeable, interesting, and easy to understand. We learned so much from her about Assisi and St. Francis. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

It involves walking up and down some moderate inclines, but the views and “locals only” streets are priceless. Andrea was super friendly and knowledgeable, so easy to be with!

We were blessed to have Merica as our guide. She was just lovely and explained with such passion everything about about Assisi and Saints Clare and Francis. Well worth the money and I must say, I have a much deeper understanding of St Francis now and of St Clare.

A very nice private tour of the two main basilicas in Assisi along with city highlights. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. It was a great way to learn a lot about St Francis and St Chiara along with the village of Assisi in 2.5 hours.

This is a great tour to learn about the history of Saint Claire and Saint Francis. Most importantly, to see the remarkable frescoes in the Basicila di Francesco with a knowledgeable tour guide. Antonella was warm, friendly and truly engaged with showing us the incredible history of Assisi through the life of Saint Francis and also Saint Claire. We would highly recommend this tour. Antonella was wonderful!

An intimate tour of Assisi. We covered all historical and spiritual significance encompassing St. Francis, St. Claire and Blessed Carlo. My guide Michaele was amazing, thorough, kind, patient and thoughtful.
