Great experience - The tour is a very nice and organized from green line tours. Cristina our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable as well as Mary our guide in Assisi Giovanni our driver was very good and careful even on the narrowest and bumpiest road which I appreciate very much being I get car sick very easily. Very comfortable bus ride Orvieto and St Francis highly recommended especially with this tour people . We had a great time .

Wonderful excursion! - This was a great trip! Our guide was excellent and seemed to really care about everyone on the trip. Orvieto was a lovely little town with a beautiful cathedral. We were also able to buy a couple of bottles of the well known local wine. In Assisi we had a local guide who was also very good. We enjoyed the tour of the town and seeing St Clare’s and St Francis’ Basilicas. The lunch was pretty good as well.

WE WENT BY TRAIN FROM Tiburtina station to Assisi. It is 2 hours by train. There they told us to take a bus to the Basilica. - We traveled by train from Rome to Assisi and then a bus that left us at the basilica in almost 10 minutes. We toured the place, visited the crypt where the remains of the Saint and his 4 friends rest. The basilica has paintings by Giotto on its walls.

One day of pilgrimage - Two part's to this review. The great and the ugly. The guide Cristina was awesome. Great energy and very courteous. Guided and kept a good pace, while giving plenty of free time. Was patient with slower member of group and made everyone feel great. Our tour in Assissi was led by another guide. This one was rushed and gave no free time. We did not get the option of visiting Santa Maria Maggiore in Assissi, Carlos Acutis incorruptible body is kept.

Assisi is amazing - Our stop at Orvieto the historic beautiful church was interesting with amazing architecture & statues. It cost 5 euros & was self guided but well worth it. The included lunch at the next stop was fine. We enjoyed the scenic drive & getting away from the hectic pace of Rome for a day. The main attraction was Assisi. A local guide provided an excellent history of St Clare, St Francis & the medieval town. If you are interested in St Francis you need to see this. We saw his relics, his parents home & chapel, & the church built for St Francis after his death but no photos inside are allowed. There is also plenty of shopping & we had a little time for it, but wish we had more. Our tour guide (Sandra?) was very pleasant & helpful as was the young male assistant in training. She was attentive to our needs & did her best to accommodate our needs. The bus driver (Mario?) did an excellent job driving, we were so impressed with his skill. It was a long day, 13 hours & physically challenging. If you aren’t in good shape or have mobility issues, you will have difficulty. There are lots of steps, steep & uneven walkways. Otherwise I would recommend it for those interested in St Frances or history.

Missed opportunity - Sadly, the bus was 2 hrs+ late. Was told there was a fire delaying drivers route. Either way it affected the trip. Was told we’d get free wine with lunch which true but didn’t compensate for missed time in Orvieto. When we arrived at this town we’re told we had 20 minutes. That was only enough time to see the church. I’m Assisi was given a two hr tour which was interesting but had less than .5 hr to spend on our own. So if one wants to really visit these towns this won’t work for you. On the flip side, the escorts were nice enough and while waiting met other interesting travelers that helped pass the time.

Not enough time in Assisi - The churches were absolutely beautiful! There is not enough time for both Assisi and Orvieto. The air conditioning was not working properly in the bus. It was hot and I felt sick! The driver and tour guide were very nice!

Beautiful places but unorganized! - Assisi and Orvieto were beautiful places. The tour was pretty inefficient and unorganized. In Orvieto we were not explained anything and didn’t get enough free time. In Assisi the guides were frazzled and spent majority of time giving us painting background with only 20 mins to spare to get dessert, use toilet and buy souvenirs which was unrealistic. Overall would recommend these towns but either plan it yourself or a different tour agency.
