A thoughtful and moving tour of discovery into the foundation of the Franciscan movement. - The 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!

Come to know St. Francis - Our guide, Michele Tomassoni was well informed, sensitive to our needs and good company. He knew all the art and architecture, but more importantly he has a personal appreciation for the life and spirit of St. Francis. We signed up for the full day tour, the morning at the major basilicas and other sites in the town of Assisi and the afternoon at the key sites in the life of St. Francis outside the town, something we would not have wanted to miss. We had only one day in Assisi and could never have done this much on our own. There are less expensive options, but we chose a full day private tour for 300 euro and it was well worth it. We saved an additional 100 euro by providing our own transportation to the sites outside the town, since we had a rental car. I am sure they have many good guides, but if you can get Michele you will not be disappointed.
