Loved the Tour - Our guide, Werner, was truly a local, with earlier European background. His knowledge of history and art was amongst the best of any guide we have used anywhere. And his love of Assisi and St. Francis was very obvious. We also liked that he was flexible in scheduling, and open to expanding discussions.

Don’t miss this! - An excellent guide; informative and helpful. One of our best experiences in Italy so far. As we are “older”, we appreciated how he managed the pace. Michaela was a delight in every way.

Incredible cultural tour of Perugia and Assisi! - Francesca made our two city day tour very memorable. She brilliantly covered a huge amount of artistic social and cultural history across all of the ages of Etruscan, Roman, medieval and Renaissance history. She kept us in the shade when it got too hot and went at my slower pace when it was needed, and very kindly organised for us to take the tour of Basilica of San Francesco D’assisi from the top down so I didn’t need to walk the many steps going up! We would thoroughly recommend this incredible tour and our personal thanks to Francesca for a wonderful day.

Assisi and Perugia group tour - Antonella clearly loves history and loves sharing it with people. Her excitement about the art and architecture was infectious. We highly recommend her for history buffs!!! We had a fantastic time.

Worth every minute - We loved this tour. Easy stroll around both cities. Our guide Michaela was wonderful and you could hear the passion he has for both cities and it’s history. And the recommendations for restaurants and other sites were spot on. These may be two small cities but having this tour made us fall in love with Umbria even more
