Itinerary

  • Assisi (Pass By)

    Meet the guide at 10:30am and visit the old Roman ruins of the local amphitheater, which was reused in the Middle Ages as a quarry for stones to build local houses. You will see how the amphitheater was turned into a private neighborhood. From there, the view toward the Rocca Maggiore medieval castle is one of the best in the city. Through narrow alleys and medieval squares you will reach Saint Rufino’s Cathedral and Saint Claire's Basilica. From there, you will get to the main city square, Piazza del Comune. At the square you will see one of the best-preserved Roman temples in Italy – Minerva's temple – which is surrounded by imposing medieval government buildings. The tour will then head down to the Basilica of Saint Francis which is world-famous for its 13th-14th century frescoes by the best painters of Italy at that time. Among those, the most famous is Giotto.

  • Basilica di Santa Chiara

    The Basilica of St. Clare of Assisi, realized with the typical pink stone extracted from the quarry of the Subasio mountain, contains precious frescos dating back to the period from the XIIth to the XIVth century. In the chapel on the right, along the unique nave of St. Clare of Assisi, finishing in transept and polygonal apse, you can admire the Crucifix which, according to tradition, would have invited St. Francesco in the church of St. Damiano in order to "reset up the Church"

    15 minutes

  • Chiesa Nuova

    Chiesa Nuova. The Chiesa Nuova is a church in Assisi, Italy, built in 1615 on the site of the presumed birthplace of St. Francis, the house of Pietro di Bernardone. It was then called Chiesa Nuova because it was the last church to be built in Assisi at that time.

    15 minutes

  • Cattedrale di San Rufino (Pass By)

    Assisi Cathedral, dedicated to San Rufino (Rufinus of Assisi) is a major church in Assisi.

  • Santa Maria sopra Minerva

    The Temple of Minerva is an ancient Roman building in Assisi, Umbria, central Italy. It currently houses a church, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, built in 1539 and renovated in Baroque style in the 17th century.

    15 minutes

  • Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi

    Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the basilica of St. Francis was built under the direction of Brother Elias, vicar general and architect of the order, starting in 1228, just two years after the saint's death, as a place designed to receive his remains.

    30 minutes

  • Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi

    If the solemn and dark lower basilica invites penance and silence, the upper church soars into the sky, airy and bright. In a Gothic style with French influences, the nave has four bays, cross vaulting, and a polygonal transept and apse.

Sights, History and Humor in Assisi

Published on Nov, 2024

Our group of 7 totally enjoyed our Assisi tour with Alessandra on our first day in Italy. In fact, she set the bar for all guides afterward! We loved our walk through town for all the sights (the highlights being the views and both St. Clare’s and St. Francis’ basilicas. Our guide was terrific at teaching the area’s history and her passion was infectious! Would highly recommend.

Wonderful informative tour of Assisi

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour guide was excellent! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Assisi history. She patiently answered all of our questions. She provided suggestions for eating spots enjoyed by locals. Highly recommend!

Fabulous experience

Published on Nov, 2024

The background and knowledge of our guide. She was great. Lesrned a great deal about Catholicism. Quant little commune.

Basilica comes to life with our guides beautiful presentation

Published on Oct, 2024

We were late getting to the tour due to the horrific parking situation in Assissi. Yes, we were the goofy Americans that have to drive a huge SUV due to the amount of guests we have in our party. We connected with Alessandra and she graciously met us at the Basilica to start our tour. It was our fault that we missed the portion of the tour dealing with the central square of Assissi. She was phenomenal, gracious and knowledgeable and made the Basilica come to life with her stories.

learn about St. Francis and St. Clare

Published on Oct, 2024

St. Francis and St. Clare were the absolute focal points of this tour. Guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you Werner!
