5.00Assisi is a beautiful place and our guide is very knowledgeable. He’s able to keep us engaged with his stories and it was like walking around the town with a friend. Not only did he bring us see the sights but also introduced us to the trades & cultures of Assisi. The 2.5hrs went by in a breeze and he left us with lunch suggestion as well as sights to occupy us in the afternoon, which turned out to be another highlight during our stay in Assisi. Big thank you Werner!

5.00The private walking tour was an outstanding experience! Our guide, Francesca, was interesting and extremely knowledgeable about the history, art, and details of the town and basilicas. She readily tailored the tour to our areas of greatest interest. All members of our group had previously visited Assisi and everyone said that they learned a great deal of new information from Francesca.

5.00What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable with all the areas of Assisi he walked us through. I highly recommend taking the tour if anyone is thinking of visiting Assisi. If you don't, you will be missing a lot!

5.00Begoña is the best! She has a great charisma and passion for the city of Assisi. We did a tour with four little ones and she was able to keep them engaged and the kids loved it as well as the adults. Beautiful to get to know the history.

5.00Francesca introduced us to all the history of San Francisco, knowing the most emblematic sites. He did so in a very entertaining way, with great depth but at the same time adapting his explanation so that the little ones could follow it. It had the attention of the whole family and we got an excellent experience of Assisi! It was great to share the experience with Francesca.
Werner was a great guide...

5.00Werner was a great guide for our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 teenagers). He gave us a comprehensive history of Assisi, St. Clare, St. Francis, as well as the opportunity to visit the tomb of Carlo Acutis, and provide us with a wonderful lunch option, too. He helped us find shelter during some thunderstorms, and gave us additional information about other churches and things to see in Assisi. We would definitely recommend Werner to anyone looking to learn more about Assisi and the saints who left their marks there so long ago.
