St Francis, St Clare and history of Assisi with a wonderful local! - It involves walking up and down some moderate inclines, but the views and “locals only” streets are priceless. Andrea was super friendly and knowledgeable, so easy to be with!

So moving! - We were blessed to have Merica as our guide. She was just lovely and explained with such passion everything about about Assisi and Saints Clare and Francis. Well worth the money and I must say, I have a much deeper understanding of St Francis now and of St Clare.

Interesting tour - A very nice private tour of the two main basilicas in Assisi along with city highlights. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. It was a great way to learn a lot about St Francis and St Chiara along with the village of Assisi in 2.5 hours.

Tour of Assisi with Expert Guide - This is a great tour to learn about the history of Saint Claire and Saint Francis. Most importantly, to see the remarkable frescoes in the Basicila di Francesco with a knowledgeable tour guide. Antonella was warm, friendly and truly engaged with showing us the incredible history of Assisi through the life of Saint Francis and also Saint Claire. We would highly recommend this tour. Antonella was wonderful!
