Full description
Explore Assisi on a walking tour with a guide who will tell you about the history, art, and local traditions of one of the most famous hill towns of Italy. Meet your guide and head to the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater, which was later put to use in the Middle Ages as a quarry for stone to build local houses. See how the amphitheater later was turned into a private neighborhood. From this vantage point, the view of the Rocca Maggiore medieval castle is one of the best in the city. Continuing along narrow alleys and through medieval squares you’ll reach the Cathedral of Saint Rufino Cathedral, the Basilica of Saint Claire, and Piazza del Comune, the main city square. At the square you’ll see the Minerva temple, one of the best-preserved Roman temples in Italy. It is surrounded by imposing medieval government buildings. The tour then continues on to the Saint Francis Basilica, which is well known for its 13th and 14th-century frescoes created by Italian masters of the time, including Giotto.

Andrea - our guide, was just fantastic. A seemingly endless source of information about the area. This tour is worth every cent if you are looking to learn about St Francis and the most famous sites associated with him in Assisi. Grazie Mille St Andrea!

Michele was punctual. We discussed interests and itinerary as we set off. I was the sole participant, however paid for 2 to get guide. I got the feeling that I I was getting a more-or-less standard spiel, albeit a bit spoke to my focus. Able to get active guiding in some locations which normally exclude guides. His focus was on the Franciscan heritage and Roman/Etruscan history.

Our tour guide Marike was absolutely amazing, she is such a friendly and lovely soul. She shares her love and passion with so much enthusiasm. The tour was easy, she didn't rush at all, and she didn't leave out any details. We loved every minute of it and out hearts were left behind in Assisi, what a beautiful little place.
