We had a great experience on the all day tour. Great way to see and learn about this beautiful city. Our tour guide - Marica- was amazing. She brought history alive - especially St Francis and St Clare .we recommend without hesitation.

We loved learning about St. Francis and St. Clare and seeing the beautiful city, art, and countryside. Our tour guide, Mikelle, was so knowledgeable and insightful. This was our best Italian excursion.

Marika was absolutely outstanding. We appreciated her knowledge of Saint Francis and the region. She was such a delight to be with all day. I would highly recommend the private tour.

Very informative and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. The trip involves a lot of walking and hills but I didn't feel rushed

Outstanding. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and responded to all our interests and questions. The private driver made things very convenient and easy. The guide made adjustments that suited the daily schedule of various places.

The entire trip was so deeply touching. It was a journey through Saint Francis's life and conversion. It also included a side trip to visit Blessed Carlos Acutis. My wife and I are believers with and affinity for Saint Francis. This was the main focus of our trip to Italy. Our wonderful guide, Alexandra made this so much more impactful. In addition, her knowledge of local customs, culture, and history contributed greatly to our wonderful experience in Assisi. It added much depth and understanding. We felt so welcomed. I might also add that she made our tour fun!
