An outstanding and worthwhile experience - The 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.

Our trip to Assisi 2025 - What 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!

Family friendly and an amazing guide - Begoña 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.

Feedback on walking trial around Basilica of St Francis of ASSISSI - Our guide Simone was very nice despite us being 45 mins late as we got our communication mixed up. Apologies!
She was patient & very knowledgeable in all the sites we visited.
A great experience .

Exceptional ride - Francesca 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... - Werner 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.

Super nice visit - With an intense blue sky and the singing of swallows, we met with Begoña in Piazza Santa Chiara. Her pleasant explanations led us to the art of the churches, linking the history of Assisi to the paintings. A very pleasant tour! Photos are not permitted inside churches. The Church of San Francisco is absolutely worth a visit, and the stories intertwined with faith, spirituality, and the era make the tour a must.

Fantastic tour of Assisi - My friend and I were heading to Assisi for the first time and we knew that we needed a guide in such a historic city. First of all, it is a beautiful city as you approach by car. Once in the city there is so much to see! We were fortunate to have such a wonderful expert guide to take us around the city and explain all the significant places. Margharita was fantastic! We had such a wonderful time.
