- San Damiano - San Damiano is a church accompanied by a monastery situated near Assisi, Italy. Constructed in the 12th century, it became the first monastery of the Order of Saint Clare, where Saint Clare established her community.
- Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Constructed on an impressive scale, the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli ranks as the seventh largest Christian church. Its grandeur contrasts with the simplicity advocated by St. Francis himself, yet the influx of pilgrims visiting the humble Porziuncola chapel and the Cappella del Transito necessitated a structure capable of accommodating the faithful.
- Eremo delle Carceri - Located 4km from the heart of Assisi, this white building is nestled in a serene lane surrounded by mountains. This is the hermitage of the Carceri, where St. Francis and his followers engaged in prayer and meditation. “Eremo” translates to hermitage in Italian.

Great contemplative experience - Werner was excellent in showing us around, giving us time where we wanted to stop . Very knowledgeable of all there was to see and experience. Wished we could have sat longer in the silence of the woods like St Francis

Beautiful Assisi - A journey to magical places of intense peace. Neither the fact that I took the tour alone nor the rain in the early morning caused the tour to be changed. The explanations were clear and with a lot of information, making me discover new details in already known places. I recommend it with all my heart. The affection and attention towards me made the day even more special.
I hope that one day I can show you my country. Thank you mille. A wonderful day.

Encountered St Francis of Assisi - First, Francesca was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Francis and Assisi, and attentive to what we hoped to experience by visiting these 3 sites. I wish the tour was a little longer to allow for more "contemplative" time - particularly Eremo della Carceri (which was wonderful: beautiful statues of Francis, Francis' bed, quiet grounds...) and San Damiano (both were peaceful & uncrowded in contrast with the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli/Porziuncola which was extremely crowded and packed with tour groups). We were 2 couples of family and the transportation was in a comfortable private van. We were very happy with the overall experience.
