The official tour of Assisi

Head for Monte Subasio on a 3-hour walking tour of Assisi and explore Italy’s famous pilgrimage site. Stroll the maze of medieval streets, and visit the Basilicas of  St. Francis and St. Clare to see one of Italy’s largest collections of church art.

Located on a gentle hill beneath the summit of Monte Subasio, the fabled Umbrian town of Assisi is the most famous pilgrimage site in Italy, a consequence of being the birthplace of Saint Francis. Born in the village of warm pink stone in 1182, Francis founded the mendicant Franciscan order to which he gave his name in 1210.

Prior to his birth, Assisi had been settled by ancient Umbrian tribes, and later became a Roman town.
Thanks to this rich history and blend of incredible architecture and art, it’s a multi-sided town. Discover all its facets on one emotional 3-hour walking tour, stopping to pay particular attention to the 2 churches of the Basilica of Santa Chiara, dedicated to the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, and the papal Basilica of St. Francis, built between 1228 and 1253.

Now home to the consecrated remains of the saint, the stunning monument is also said to have the best collection of art in any church of Italy, including frescoes and paintings by Cimabue, Giotto, Lorenzetti and more.

    Great orientation for our stay in Assisi

    19 Nov 2022

    My wife and I stayed for several days in Assisi, and we took this tour with Andrea B shortly after we arrived. It was an excellent orientation to the city, its history, and the two main religious figures, Saints Francis and Clare. Our guide was very well prepared, and did a great job of setting the people and the places into the historical context. It definitely prepared us for the rest of our time there—highly recommend this tour and this guide.
