What To Expect

Your day trip starts with pickup from your Rome hotel by private vehicle for the scenic drive out of the city and into Umbria, a region known for its hills and medieval villages like Orte and Deruta.

When you arrive in Assisi, a World Heritage site, follow your private guide on a walking tour of this tranquil town, listening to commentary about the local churches and other attractions that are connected to St Francis of Assisi, Italy’s patron saint, who was from here. See the site where it’s believed he was born and where he spent his early childhood, and visit the Church of Santa Chiara.

Soak up the charm of the Piazza del Commune, the town square dominated by Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, a 13th-century palace, and check out more landmarks like the Roman Temple of Minerva and Basilica di San Francesco, whose interior is decorated with frescoes that depict scenes from St Francis’ life.

Take a break to enjoy lunch (own expense), and then round out your tour with a visit to the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a pilgrimage site outside the city. You’ll view the Porziuncola chapel, which St Francis restored, and see the site where he died. Your tour then ends with the drive back to Rome for hotel drop-off.

Matt_M, Jan 2024

Assisi is beautiful, the churches are awe inspiring. It was wonderful to get out of Rome and away from the rest of the tourists to have a peaceful pilgrimage to these very venerable sites. The weather was chilly, but it was a beautiful day. Our driver Fabio was great to chat with and provided us information about all the locations we visited. Such a beautiful time, we would love to do it again some day.

A wonderful trip to the mistique place.

Joyce S M, May 2015

Very disappointing. I was on a Viator day trip in to Assissi Spring 2014 that was great. I assumed we were signing up for the same trip in 2015. Not even close! The driver was very nice but knew very little about Assissi. The elevator from a parking area to the top of the town....shopping, eating in Assissi, St Francis's birth place, etc. it was as if we were not even in the place as the year before. Why did this happen?

Excelente super recomendado
