Engaging and entertaining experience!

Vivian_W, Dec 2025

Safe driving and knowledgeable guides especially in Assisi - Marco was very engaging and helped link the history of St Francis to various parts of history of the town. He made the most out of the less than ideal foggy weather and we still enjoyed the experience. Orvieto was beautiful , quaint and Monika our guide was accommodating enough to help us book a specific restaurant. She also introduced the best gelato in the town! All in all a great experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Marco and Monika made your tour so engaging and enjoyable. It’s great that Marco’s knowledge brought the history of Assisi to life, and that Monika helped you discover the best of Orvieto, including a great restaurant and gelato. We’re glad you had a memorable experience despite the foggy weather, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

St Francis tour

Janessa_T, Nov 2025

Since it’s a semi-private tour, you don’t just learn history—you absorb it. Orvieto gives you the warm-up, but Assisi? That’s the final exam. You’ll also get to know your fellow tourists extremely well. After 10–12 hours together, you’ll know their favorite snacks, random life stories, and possibly their biggest regrets. Even your tour guide and driver will get in on the jokes—because at that point, you’re basically a tiny traveling family. Our guide, Stayce, was super involved and encouraged us to ask every question that popped into our heads. And our driver Roberto—who not only looks like Jason Statham but drives like him—got us to and from each stop safely and in style. We had a great time! Oh, you'll also get a different but very knowledgeable tour guide when you get to Assisi. You can ask if you can stop in where Carlo Acutis is, maybe you'll get lucky, We did!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful and engaging review of our Orvieto and Assisi Semi-Private Day Tour. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience and that the day felt both educational and personal just as we hope it will for every guest. We’re delighted that Stayce made the tour so interactive and enjoyable, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Roberto will also be very happy to know that his driving (and his resemblance to Jason Statham!) made the journey even more special. It’s great that you had the opportunity to visit the resting place of Blessed Carlo Acutis we know how meaningful that stop can be for many of our guests. Thank you again for choosing to explore with us and for capturing the spirit of the tour so beautifully. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in Italy!

Pilgrimage to Assisi and Orvieto

Arthur_L, Jul 2025

Marie and Natalia were fantastic as tour guide and driver respectively. Maria gave us a good histories and facts of the Umbria region. I sat up front next to Natalia and she talked a bit too about the electric vehicle we were in and how our trip will proceed. I like the fact that the electric vehicle was clean to us and to the environment - no smelly car fumes. Marie was very knowledgeable about her own church in Assisi and about the Duomo in Orvieto too. In Assisi, we appreciated the stories told by Marcos. He talked just about the right amount to give us the stories of Francis and Clare, the two major saints, and a bit about the new one of Assisi. The art work in Assisi were fine, not as intricate as the best for the Pope. Nevertheless the people of Assisi and Orvieto are rightfully proud of their fine places of worship. My family really enjoyed the histories and the sights, so intertwined with the histories.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We are truly delighted to hear that your pilgrimage to Assisi and Orvieto was such a meaningful and enjoyable experience for you and your family. Marie and Natalia will be thrilled to know that their knowledge, professionalism, and personal touch helped make your journey special. We're also glad you appreciated the comfort and environmental benefits of traveling in an electric vehicle we always aim to combine sustainability with high quality service. We’re happy to know that Marco’s storytelling in Assisi enriched your visit, and that the spiritual and historical depth of these beautiful cities resonated with you. Assisi and Orvieto are places where art, faith, and history truly come together, and it means a lot to us that you felt that connection. Thank you again for choosing us for your day in Umbria we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable experience in Italy!

Beautiful day!

Raquel_R, Jul 2025

This is an amazing private tour. We were picked up at our accommodations by Monica and Natalia, they were both very kind and accommodating throughout the tour. Orvieto is such a lovely town, and Assisi is amazing. We were so happy to go on this tour, even though the weather was warm we made the best of it and enjoyed the tour to the fullest, the AC is the car was very comfortable too, lol. We would totally recommend this tour. Happy travels!

A peaceful and informative tour!

Victoria_O, Jun 2024

This was a wonderful day trip and such a relaxing change from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Our guide, Marie, was professional, prompt and very accommodating when we wanted to amend our trip to spend the remainder of our day in Assisi. This was due in part to the riveting two-hour tour that our local guide, Chiara, provided. The knowledge and passion she shared pertaining to St. Francis and St. Clara were infectious!! As a result, we only wanted to spend more time in the basilica and the charming walled portion of the city of Assisi. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about St. Francis and the beautiful Basilica di San Francesco!

The best way to visit Assisi and Orvieto

Anita_B, Nov 2023

Our private tour day-trip to Assisi and Orvieto in late October, 2023 was perfect! My husband and I were picked up on time, in the early morning, at our hotel in Rome. Our driver, Giuseppe, was accompanied by our tour assistant, also name Giuseppe. Both men could not have been more friendly and considerate. We had an easy drive, first to Orvieto, and then to Assisi, making a rest stop along the way. Giuseppe described the countryside as we drove along and answered any/all of our questions. We asked to go to St. Patrick's Well; I highly recommend it! We saw the important sights of/around Orvieto, especially the magnificent Duomo. In Assisi, after a delicious local lunch, we stopped at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and viewed the Portiuncula inside. In the old town of Assisi, we met up with our local guide, Begonia, who was with us for 2 hours. We had an extensive description of the life of St. Francis and also of the beautiful town. We visited the chapel of St. Clare; the lower church (where St. Francis is buried), and the upper Basilica...all with time for prayer, and with extensive descriptions and interpretations from Begonia. For our comfort, our driver dropped us off the meet Begonia at the upper part of the town of Assisi, giving us a gentle walk down to the Basilica where the driver later picked us up at the bottom. This was a full-day tour, but we never felt rushed or hurried. A bonus: on the drive back to our hotel in the heart of Rome, Giuseppe played music by Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti as we drove through the enchanting Italian countryside. What a wonderful way to visit Assisi and Orvieto - well worth the investment!

John D, Sep 2017

This was outstanding. Just my wife and I, along with our guide and driver. We got a great tour of the Basilica of St. Francis, viewed his crypt, walked the city and were fortunate to have a great guide in Catrina. She was very much on top of her game. Knowledgeable, personable, patient, etc., etc. Took time to explain things and found us an excellent restaurant to have a relaxing lunch. The visit to Orvieto was more of the same. If you can take this long day tour, please do so. Worth the time and investment.

Claudia S, Apr 2018

Una visita inolvidable. Conocer Asís, era un sueño a cumplir. Agradecida por la calidez y amabilidad de las guías, Caterina y Maddalena como también Adan, el chofer . Caminar por sus calles, como viajando en el tiempo, poder sentir la Historia dentro del cuerpo . . . Inolvidable .
