Itinéraire
Vous commencerez votre visite par le rez-de-chaussée en entrant dans le tombeau de saint François, puis vous poursuivrez votre exploration de l'église dans la zone de l'autel, où se trouvent les fresques illustrant la vie de Jésus. Vous apercevrez alors le cloître du couvent. L'église supérieure, située au fond, vous permettra de découvrir la vie de saint François à travers le célèbre cycle de peintures qui orne les murs latéraux de l'édifice. La basilique Saint-François est un édifice à deux niveaux datant du XIIIe siècle qui abrite le tombeau de saint François d'Assise, l'un des saints les plus vénérés au monde.
Cette église grandiose et somptueusement décorée abrite des fresques de Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti et d'autres peintres médiévaux italiens de renom. C'est en effet l'un des points centraux tant de l'art que de la spiritualité. Cette église est un lieu qui inspire tant les croyants que les amateurs d'art.

Our tour guide was very friendly and extremely informative and passionate about the basilica . We all gained a great insight to the life of Saint Francis
This was a fabulous tour and our guide was so animated when she spoke I could listen to her all day. She made it exciting and interesting. I bought two tickets because there were no tickets for single person. Others on my travel said the same that it hard to get one person ticket. That’s a shame as lots of solo travellers now.
The Guide was very knowledgeable, the complete tour was very interesting and we had a nice time in basilica
Knowledgeable enjoyable guide
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the guided tour of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi and that the guide made the experience both informative and pleasant. It’s always our goal to combine clear storytelling with a relaxed atmosphere, and we’re happy that came through. We hope to welcome you again in Assisi for another great experience!
Our tour guide was just wonderful! Thank you for still holding the tour even with a smaller group. That meant a lot! St. Francis comes to life in this tour. So impressive & inspiring.
Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining for our tour! She was devout yet relatable and seemed excited to be showing us around.
Very informative tour of the artwork adorning the interior of the bassilica. Our guide customized the tour to our interests by asking about our motivation for signing up for the tour, which was much appreciated.
The Basilica is quite a way up from the lower town and is then on two levels plus the stairs down to the crypt. My husband was in a wheelchair, and everyone from the tour guide, the guards, the police were helpful in getting him from place to place. Our tour guide, Francesca, was EXTREMELY knowledgable about the history of Umbria, the town of Assisi, the Basilica, and the life of St. Frances. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any tour. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Our guide was excellent . However the Viator instruction to me of where to meet the guide was unclear. All tourists enter the Basilica at Assissi through a lower gateway into the large Piazza Inferiore, which was packed with large numbers of tourists of different nationalities with different guides. It was unclear where in the Piazza we should meet our guide. I suggest you change your wording as set out below: " You enter the Piazza Inferiore though the lower gateway and then need to proceed to the top of the Piazza and wait outside the Basilica by the railings next to next to the entrance to the Lower Church."
This tour with Werner was probably the best we had in Italy! It was private (just my partner and I) along with the guide. Werner provided some much insight into the history and art of the basilica and its interrelationship to the life and legacy of St Francis. Even though it is a private tour you still get a headset which helps as the church is obviously very quiet. We went through the full lower and upper church including St Francis tomb. One of the most spectacular churches I visited in Italy. 10/10 would recommend to anyone thinking about going.
