Reviews
The guide didn't have any...Sharon_V
The guide didn't have any identifying sign at the check in point. We had to wait in all the lines just like everyone else. The guide must have been new to being a guide -- she was not organized while trying to explain locations or sites. She would go through a book she was carrying about Assisi and try to find the pages to explain.
The tour was not 2 hours. Lastly, she was difficult to understand, her English was very limited.
Oct 25, 2026, 12:06:57 PM The guide was fantastic. He went above and beyond when he took us around. Such detailed information was not expected. We had a great time.
Huge crowds on our visit...Phil_B
Huge crowds on our visit day. Be patient. Guide had lots of information on the sites. Crowds detracted but not the fault of the guide. Recommend visit on weekdays.
We happened to be there...Carol_H
Oct 10, 2026, 11:58:51 AM We happened to be there on the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis. We were not able to visit St. Clare. We saw the tomb of St. Carlo. There was a celebration of the feast with many dignitaries and clergy. We received a blessing and a plenary indulgence from the bishop of Assisi. The town was very crowded but I’m so glad we were able to be there. Our guide, Michaela, was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Thoughtful and prayerfulmatthewlP6201WZ
We could tell that our guide had very similar shared values and had extensive knowledge of these Saints and their impact on Assisi!
The two of us had a personal tour with Catya. She was filled with great stories and information. This was a wonderful tour! Highly recommend.

Great tour with KatiaLiz_S
Our tour guide was Katia and she was extremely knowledgeable on the different saints lives and gave us plenty of time to pray at each of the locations we visited. We would highly recommend her for future tours. She was also really good at taking pictures and knowing the best locations for them.
Helped me to see them in a new lightCurious769889
Maria brought the saints to life for us!
She had us walk in their footsteps and explained the history at that time, making their sacrifices even more amazing.
Thank you Maria!
Brought me a new understanding of the SaintsCurious769889
As a practicing Catholic, I’ve read about St Francis and St Claire but actually walking in their footsteps and having our wonderful guide explain the history helped me understand their incredible sacrifices and courage much more.
Taking the time to slow down and step into their lives is an unforgettable experience.
