- Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Built on a grandiose scale, the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli is the seventh largest Christian church. Its magnificence may be at odds with the simplicity preached by St Francis himself but the flocks of pilgrims coming to visit the primitive Porziuncola chapel and the Cappella del Transito called for a building that was able to accomodate the faithful.
- Eremo delle Carceri - It’s located 4km away from the center of Assisi. The white building nestles in a quiet lane surrounded by mountains. This is the hermitage of the Carceri where St. Francis and his followers were praying and meditating. “Eremo” means hermitage in Italian

Experiencing the life of St Francis - The entire experience of learning more about St Francis’s life. Our tour guide was especially competent.

Beautiful Assisi - A journey to magical places of intense peace. Neither the fact that I took the tour alone nor the rain in the early morning caused the tour to be changed. The explanations were clear and with a lot of information, making me discover new details in already known places. I recommend it with all my heart. The affection and attention towards me made the day even more special.
I hope that one day I can show you my country. Thank you mille. A wonderful day.

Encountered St Francis of Assisi - First, Francesca was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Francis and Assisi, and attentive to what we hoped to experience by visiting these 3 sites. I wish the tour was a little longer to allow for more "contemplative" time - particularly Eremo della Carceri (which was wonderful: beautiful statues of Francis, Francis' bed, quiet grounds...) and San Damiano (both were peaceful & uncrowded in contrast with the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli/Porziuncola which was extremely crowded and packed with tour groups). We were 2 couples of family and the transportation was in a comfortable private van. We were very happy with the overall experience.
