5.00Our 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.
So interesting!

5.00Michele was a wonderful guide full of knowledge of Assisi and the surrounding Umbrian region. He customised the tour to our preferences given it was just my family of 4 attending. He provided the life and history of St. Francis and other figures important to the area. We highly recommend the tour and Michele specifically as he is really a great guide and lovely man.
