Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable and provided so much important information and a most memorable tour of both the St. Clare and St. Francis Basilicas.
Our tour guide was extremely well informed about St Francis and St Claire and their history. Also enjoyed hearing about the origins of Assisi and Umbria, but would have preferred a bit more of Assisi history.
Marika was absolutely outstanding. We appreciated her knowledge of Saint Francis and the region. She was such a delight to be with all day. I would highly recommend the private tour.
Alessandra was a brilliant tour guide. Her knowledge of Italian and Roman history, plus the Catholic Church and all of its major and minor players, was astounding!
She has a gift for bringing the past to life, while helping all of her guests drop right into that era. Many thanks for treating us so courteously.
Morica was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. She didn’t just list facts, but told a story that held our attention and made the day more interesting.
