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.

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.
Tour went for almost 3 hours and our guide (Alessandra) was fantastic and really knew her history but was great in her explanation and was very engaging. Definitely recommend this tour
Alessandra, our guide, was terrific. She is very knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot about the churches, St. Francis (of course), Santa Chiara, architecture, history, arts and the culture of Assisi. She showed us wonderful frescos of Giotto and explained the artist’s biography. The 2.5 hours went by too quickly!
We had a wonderful time walking through Assisi. We started at the top of the hill and made our way to the bottom where the San Franceso Basilica is located, so it was an easy way down. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us of the upcoming Calendemaggio festival, and where to secure tickets. We went and had a great time there, too.
Our guide was wonderful. She is a professor and clearly loves the place. She was very knowledgeable about Assisi. She gave an amazing history of Saint Francis and the churches and town. Wonderful morning.
Our tour guide, Werner, was knowledgeable and we enjoyed our tour through the town as well as the locations we visited. Be choosy about where you stop for food, the sandwich and gelato shop in the Vatican section was very expensive and lousy. Make your way back to the upper area of Assisi before stopping for food.
