Antonella brought Assisi to life and explained some the fine details in the architecture and paintings.
Antonella was a fabulous tour guide who spoke with enthusiastic energy on the religious history of Assisi. She taught use a things we did not know from this quaint charming and very clean town. She knew the history of St Francis and Churches that influenced the names of American cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco and the early life of hospitals as a not just medical but wear travelers would stop on their travels for meals which derives the term “hospitality”!

Great, informative tour!...
Great, informative tour! We saw the churches for St Clare and St Francis. My only negative is that there wasn’t any info given on the new Saint Carlo Acutis. Since he is our first modern Saint and there is a lot of excitement around the city about him, would have been great to include him in the tour.

Learned a lot! Nice day.
Our guide, Barbara, is very knowledgeable about art and the history of the area. She taught us a lot about how to interpret paintings, what to look for. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend it for those wanting to learn about St. Francis and this special town.

Highly Recommend!
Fantastic experience! We are so glad we booked this tour. We learned so much about this beautiful city. Our fabulous tour guide took us to places that we never would have visited had we not done this tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly and kind. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy!

Barbara knows her stuff!
Barbara was extraordinarily knowledgeable. She educated us well on Assisi’s history, the life of St. Francis, and the fine details of the artwork in the basilica and the criticality of Giotto’s innovations to future artistic developments in the Renaissance. No surprise since she was a teacher in her prior life. A great guide!!

Lovely knowledgeable guide
It starts from the top of town at the church of St Clare. Very interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared his personal insights. We took the quiet road behind the town to the Basilica and it was a delight.

Our guide was very...
Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending the time with her. It was, as advertised, a small group - just our family - which allowed for a lot of interaction. Lots of people, especially at the basilica, but an enjoyable experience.

A day with Saint Francis
This was an excellent day tour, highlighting the life of Saint Francis around Assisi, from his initial days, through his teaching and to his death. While the sites within Assisi were amazing, those outside the town were maybe even more impressive, because they reflected his deeper personality. The Hermitage was particularly moving. Our guide Michaele was knowledgeable, and he took care to tailor the tour to our own interests. AA++ day.
