This full-day experience offers a soul-stirring journey through the heart of Umbria, where spirituality, art, and tradition converge. Begin in Assisi, wandering its peaceful streets of pink and white stone, walking in the footsteps of Saint Francis, and exploring the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint Francis with Giotto’s intimate frescoes. Continue to the Basilica of Saint Clare, home to the saint’s relics and the original San Damiano crucifix, before taking in sweeping views of the Umbrian valley. In the afternoon, visit Spello, a hilltop village celebrated for its flowering balconies, Roman gates, and cobblestone lanes. Step into the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore to admire Pinturicchio’s frescoes in the Baglioni Chapel, then enjoy a wine tasting lunch featuring local wines paired with seasonal Umbrian dishes such as aged cheeses, lentils, rustic bread, and olive oil. The day can be enhanced with optional experiences such as a gentle truffle hunt, a cooking class, or a mosaic workshop, each offering a deeper connection to the region’s spiritual, artistic, and culinary heritage. This immersive journey is designed not just to show you Umbria, but to let you feel its essence—through stone, silence, flavors, and faith.

Our family of 5 had an outstanding experience exploring Assisi with Alessandra. She was very kind and patient, and was engaging for our kids. Alessandra was proud of her city and had a lot of knowledge and history to share. We hope to do another tour on our next trip.
Our guide, Werner, was the best... Having lived in Assisi for decades now, his depth of art history, general history & site knowledge is deep, broad and nuanced. He conveyed so much - and so interestingly! Intriguing about how St. Frances & St. Clare came to be who they became... And especially his superb art history knowledge - - from Giotto, Cimabue to Simone Martini to 16th c 'naughty' ceiling frescoes, the ideas of narrative, perspective, even color pigment cost (the rare blues!!) - what a great visit. Our group had a lot of people who had studied art history, and everyone thought Werner was brilliant & insightful yet always with a moment of humor.
We took the Assisi tour with Michele! It was fantastic! Michele is an excellent guide and we learned so much information about St Francis and St Clare. The churches were stunning. Do this tour to get a great experience!
Our guide Analita was fantastic! Her knowledge of each site in Assisi and St Francis was exceptional. In addition, she connected the journey of St Francis with the social and political history at the time of his existence and the impact he had on the Catholic church, the style of art being rendered and the change of thinking in leadership. We spent the entire day with Analita and her sense of humor and patience combined with her excellent execution of visiting All the important sites ( of which there are about 7 or 8!) , especially considering we visited on a Sunday when many sites have limited hours, was superb! We highly recommend Analita as a guide you can depend upon to have an excellent experience!
We had an amazing day tour with a gifted local tour guide, Michele, who filled the day with historic facts and interesting stories about his home of Perugia and nearby Assisi. Both were beautiful and history rich places that were influenced by Saint Francis and Roman inhabitants long ago, to name a couple. Michele was a skilled historian and story teller who was interesting and engaging as he shared information about people, places and objects. The day flew by so quickly, it was sad to leave and we all wanted to have more time to learn more. Michele had a skilled driver, Maurzio, who safely and professionally delivered us from Perugia to Assisi, while sharing some stories about his home in Assisi during the drive. I highly recommend this tour as a wonderful learning experience and a feast for your ears and eyes! Gracie Mille Gentiluomo!
