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.

St Clare, St Francis and Carlo Acuti - Travellers should be aware that the terrain in Assisi is quite hilly so lots of up and down walking but nothing to do with the tour itself. The atmosphere in Assisi is one of peaceful reflection and spirituality, underlined by the presence of many groups of religious orders we encountered on our journey. Our guide Michele was sensitive to our physical needs as it was very hot and walking was slightly problematic due to a back injury I had sustained previously. Michele was proactive in that he had looked us up on WhatsApp and was able to approach us at the meeting point, knowing what I looked like. Michele is a mine of information and brought to life not only the history of Assisi but also current religious issues and controversies. We had heard previously about Carlo Acuti, the young man who was beatified in October 2020, (is to become a saint) and were very privileged to be taken to see him lying in state in his Nike trainers and jeans in the chapel of Santa Maria Maggiore - an extraordinary, unique and unforgettable experience. The tour also included the Basilica of St Francis which is absolutely beautiful and seemed a fitting resting place for an extraordinary man. We thoroughly recommend this tour.

A great way to experience Assisi - Really enjoyed our Assisi highlights private walking tour (including the St. Francis Basilica). Our guide was Michele and the tour lasted 2.5 hours. Michele is very knowledgeable and has a relaxed, but informative communication style. He could answer all our questions and demonstrated layers of knowledge that only an experienced guide would have. He was also very good company, and we loved our walking tour with him. Strongly recommended.
