Full description

Explore the birthplace of St. Francis on this private guided walking tour of the historic city, and learn more about one of Italy’s most famous patron saints. Explore the oldest part of the city to admire Roman ruins that have been perfectly integrated into medieval houses, and are still lived in by locals. Go to Assisi Cathedral, dedicated to Rufinus of Assisi, and see the ancient stratifications of the church where Francis was baptized. Then, go to the Basilica of Saint Francis, the sumptuously decorated 13th-century double church built in his honor. Take an interactive and immersive guided tour of the church and the life of St. Francis, founder of the Franciscan religious order, which will be anything but dry and dusty.

Our tour guide, Francesca, spoke excellent english in conveying the history of Assisi. Her knowledge was extensive and she answered any questions we raised. The tour encompassed all the main places of interest ending at the Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi. An excellent experience.

Marica was fantastic. She was accommodating, polite, patient, and very knowledgeable on the history of Assisi the place, and also of the various important people and saints of Assisi. At the end of the tour she even called a taxi for us so that we could catch our train on time
