Rejseplan
Mød guiden kl. 10:30 og besøg de gamle romerske ruiner af det lokale amfiteater, som blev genbrugt i middelalderen som et stenbrud til at bygge lokale huse. Du vil se, hvordan amfiteatret blev forvandlet til et privat kvarter. Derfra er udsigten mod middelalderborgen Rocca Maggiore en af de bedste i byen. Gennem smalle gyder og middelalderlige pladser kommer du til Saint Rufinos katedral og Saint Claires basilika. Derfra kommer du til byens hovedtorv, Piazza del Comune. På pladsen vil du se et af de bedst bevarede romerske templer i Italien – Minervas tempel – som er omgivet af imponerende middelalderlige regeringsbygninger. Turen går derefter ned til basilikaen Saint Francis, som er verdensberømt for sine fresker fra det 13.-14. århundrede af de bedste malere i Italien på det tidspunkt. Blandt dem er den mest berømte Giotto.
Basilica of St. Clare of Assisi, der blev realiseret med den typiske rosa sten udvundet af stenbruddet i Subasio-bjerget, indeholder dyrebare fresker, der går tilbage til perioden fra XIIth til XIVth century. I kapellet til højre langs den unikke skov af St. Clare of Assisi, der slutter i transept og polygonal aps, kan du beundre korsfæsten, som ifølge traditionen ville have inviteret St. Francesco i kirken St. Damiano i for at "nulstille Kirken"
Chiesa Nuova. Chiesa Nuova er en kirke i Assisi, Italien, bygget i 1615 på stedet af den formodede fødested for St. Francis, huset Pietro di Bernardone. Det blev derefter kaldt Chiesa Nuova, fordi det var den sidste kirke, der blev bygget i Assisi på det tidspunkt.
Assisi Cathedral, dedikeret til San Rufino (Rufinus of Assisi) er en stor kirke i Assisi.
Minerva-templet er en gammel romerske bygning i Assisi, Umbrien, det centrale Italien. Det huser i øjeblikket en kirke, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, bygget i 1539 og renoveret i barok stil i det 17. århundrede.
Anerkendt som et UNESCO-verdensarvssted, blev basilikaen St. Francis bygget under ledelse af broder Elias, generaldirektør og arkitekt for ordren, der startede i 1228, kun to år efter helgens død, som et sted, der var designet til at modtage hans tilbage.
Hvis den højtidelige og mørke nedre basilika inviterer bøder og stilhed, svæver den øvre kirke i himlen, luftig og lys. I en gotisk stil med franske indflydelser har skibet fire buer, krydsvalv og en polygonal transept og apsis.

We had the pleasure of having Marica as our tour guide. She was absolutely the BEST. Her knowledge and passion of Assisi made the tour so enjoyable and fun. She took us down side streets and truly showed us the best parts of this lovely place. She really took her time to explain the back history of every landmark we were seeing. She recommended some of the best places to grab lunch, dinner and where to find the best gelato in town! We had such a good morning and tour with Marica and would recommend her to everyone we know! We have been lucky enough to run into her a few times since the tour and has been the highlight of the trip :) Thank you Marica for making our trip to Assisi one to remember!
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your time in Assisi with Marica. Her passion for the city and her ability to bring its history and hidden corners to life are exactly what make a walking tour truly special. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed discovering the quieter side streets, learning the stories behind the landmarks, and getting some local tips for restaurants and gelato along the way! And what a lovely coincidence to have crossed paths with Marica again during your stay — we’re sure that made your experience in Assisi even more memorable. Thank you for recommending the tour so warmly. We’ll be very happy to share your kind words with Marica!
Great, informative tour! We saw the churches for St Clare and St Francis. My only negative is that there wasn’t any info given on the new Saint Carlo Acutis. Since he is our first modern Saint and there is a lot of excitement around the city about him, would have been great to include him in the tour.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the visit to the churches of St. Clare and St. Francis. We really appreciate the feedback about Saint Carlo Acutis - it's such a meaningful and timely topic given all the excitement in the city, and we'll be sure to look into including it in our tours going forward. We hope to welcome you back soon to Assisi!
I recommend Viator travel when booking a tour. Based on my experienced, Viator’s tour guides are very knowledgeable…
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're delighted Alessandra's deep knowledge of Assisi's history and the Basilica of St. Francis made such an impression on you. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures in Umbria!

I took my family who lives in the States to visit Umbria, including a visit to Perugia at the first Perugina factory with an exceptional guide, Alice, who was super prepared, just like the excellent Myriam who accompanied us on the tour of Assisi. In Orvieto, we also had an exceptional guide, Nazzareno, who is also a super professional. We were extremely satisfied.
This tour would have benefited from headsets. Lots of walking which was expected but also a lot of time lost where more information could have been given. The guide was fine but for me I wish there had been more explication.
Antonella was a fabulous tour guide who spoke with enthusiastic energy on the religious history of Assisi. She taught use a things we did not know from this quaint charming and very clean town. She knew the history of St Francis and Churches that influenced the names of American cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco and the early life of hospitals as a not just medical but wear travelers would stop on their travels for meals which derives the term “hospitality”!
Very knowledgeable guide who captivated our attention and kept an easy pace.
For my family of six, we booked a private tour of Assisi, with our delightful guide Marica, taking us through the spectacular town of Assisi and the amazing sights, including visiting St Clare and St Francis’ Basilica and visiting St Carlo too. We had the best experience and our guide Marica was truly inspiring, filled with passion and love for Assisi, St Francis and St Clare and was so incredibly knowledgeable. My family enjoyed every minute of the tour with her. She was warm and took such good care of our whole group. I highly recommend the tour.
The 2.5 Small Group Tour of Assisi was very informative. We loved learning about the saints and the stories of their lives. The tour guide did a fabulous job in letting us experience how the saints lived as real people during those times. The only criticism we have is that the day was extremely hot, and the tour guide never took that into consideration—never asking us to sit in the shade or consider that people could get heat stroke. It was somewhat insensitive. Overall the tour was very informative.
