5.00Outstanding. 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.
A thoughtful and moving tour of discovery into the foundation of the Franciscan movement.

5.00The 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!

5.00Must-see, the Porziuncola, Santa Chiara, the Basilica of San Francesco, the woods of San Francesco, we shot little because it was raining and we entered late, next time I hope to do it all but maybe in spring summer. Assisi is all beautiful there is nothing to say, the houses, the cleanliness of the city, while the character of the people....🤔 not really nice.
Lovely day

5.00Very happy of the magnificent day, our guide Giovanna, very well prepared, accompanied us to the beautiful Assisi (from the wonderful places of San Francesco and Santa Chiara in the historic center, and then reach the Hermitage of the prisons and Santa Maria degli Angeli), with a detailed story both historical and religious, with professionalism and sympathy that has won over, not only us adults, but also fascinated our children of 13 and 9 years. Thanks to the agency and their availability.
