Assisi och Cascia privat rundtur från Rom med lunch
Beskrivning
Assisi representerar en ensemble av mästerverk av mänskligt kreativt geni, såsom basilikan St. Francis, en grundläggande referens för konsthistorien i världen. Spridningen av Franciskanerordens konstnärliga och andliga budskap har avsevärt bidragit till utvecklingen av konst och arkitektur i världen. Basilikan St. Francis är ett enastående exempel på en typ av arkitektonisk ensemble som avsevärt har påverkat utvecklingen av konst och arkitektur i sig. Cascia är hem för Sankta Rita av Cascia, ett av katolicismens mest vördade helgon, ofta kallat "det omöjligas helgon". Cascia är också platsen där ett eukaristiskt mirakel bevaras. Den står därför högt upp på listan för många katolska pilgrimer. Sankta Rita av Cascia kallas ofta "det omöjligas helgon". St. Ritas berättelse handlar om bönens och trons kraft.

Resplan
Rom representerar startpunkten men också slutet på resan, eftersom det blir 2 timmars körtid för att komma till Assisi, och sedan 2 timmar tillbaka från Cascia till ditt boende.
Porziuncola, är en liten katolsk kyrka som ligger inom den påvliga basilikan Saint Mary of the Angels i Assisi i Assisi. Det är platsen där franciskanerrörelsen startade. Kapellet låg på en liten del av marken ("Portiuncula") som tillhörde Saint Benedict Order of Monte Subasio. Senare övergick namnet på landet till den lilla kyrkan själv. Den var i dåligt skick och låg övergiven i en skog av ekar. Efter en pilgrimsfärd till Rom, där han tiggde vid kyrkans dörrar för de fattiga, sa Franciskus att han hade haft en mystisk vision av Jesus Kristus i San Damianos kapell vid vägkanten, där Kristi korsfästes ikon blev levande och sa till honom tre gånger, "Francis, Francis, gå och reparera mitt hus som, som du kan se, håller på att falla i ruiner". Han restaurerade flera ruinerade kyrkor, bland dem Porziuncola, lilla kapellet St Mary of the Angels, strax utanför staden.
Basilikan St. Clare av Assisi, byggd med den typiska rosa stenen utvunnen från stenbrottet i berget Subasio, innehåller dyrbara fresker som går tillbaka till perioden från 1200- till 1400-talet. I kapellet till höger, längs St. Clara av Assisis unika långhus, avslutande i tvärskepp och polygonal absid, kan du beundra krucifixet som enligt traditionen skulle ha bjudit in St. Francesco i kyrkan St. Damiano in för att "återställa kyrkan". I kryptan har vi bevarat landlämningarna av St. Clare av Assisi och några reliker särskilt välbevarade: bland dem finns en klänning av San Francesco och ett tyg som gjorts av St. Clare.
Acutis undersökte över 136 eukaristiska mirakel som inträffade under århundradena i olika länder runt om i världen, och har erkänts av kyrkan och samlat dem till ett virtuellt museum. Förutom att skapa en webbplats för detta virtuella museum, hjälpte han till med att skapa panelpresentationer som har rest runt i världen. Detta är det första steget på vägen till helgon. Den 5 juli 2018 fortskred hans sak och han utsågs till ärevördiga Carlo Acutis. Den 22 februari 2020 tillkännagav Vatikanen godkännandet av ett mirakel som tillskrivs hans förbön.
Assisi, en medeltida stad byggd på en kulle, är födelseplatsen för Saint Francis, nära förknippad med Franciscan Orderens arbete. Dess medeltida konstmästerverk, som Basilica of San Francesco och målningar av Cimabue och Giotto, har gjort Assisi till en grundläggande referenspunkt för utvecklingen av italiensk och europeisk konst och arkitektur. Efter Saint Francis och Saint Clare dog, byggdes kyrkor till deras ära. Kyrkan Saint Francis, kallad basilikan Saint Francis of Assisi, är känd som sin gravplats. Det är också känt för fresco målningar på väggar och tak. Många besökare går till Assisi på pilgrimsfärden. Assisi ingår i UNESCO: s världsarvslista år 2000.
Cascia är hem till Saint Rita av Cascia, en av katolismens mest vördade helgon, ofta benämnd "Saint of the Impossible". Cascia är också platsen där ett eukaristiskt mirakel bevaras. Det är därför högt på listan för många katolska pilgrimer. Saint Rita i Cascia kallas ofta "helgonet om det omöjliga". St Ritas berättelse är en av kraften i bön och tro. Hon föddes 1381 nära staden Cascia och trots att hon ville gå in i ett kloster gifte hon sig med lydnad mot sina önskemål vid 16 års ålder. , det hade länge varit tänkt att hennes man hade missbruk Mycket ofta framställs Saint Rita som en långlidande och till och med misshandlad fru, vars man var en våldsam berusare och en otrogen make.

Francesco our tour guide and Luigi our driver, from Rome to Assisi and Cascia round trip were AMAZING! They both went above and beyond for my family. My 87 years old parents were with us and they had a hard time going around, Francesco and Luigi made it work and helped us out to get my parents from one church to another when they both got to a point of exhaustion. For some reason, Assisi was packed with students. It was chaos all over Assisi with young pilgrims. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND FRANCESCO AND LUIGI 💯 times over and over again. I’m always traveling to Italy, they are both by far the best tour guide I’ve used.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we are glad your enjoyed Francesco and Luigi’s company! They enjoyed yours as well, we hope to see you soon!
We had a wonderful tour of Assisi and Cascia. Our driver, Luigi, was excellent and made the journey smooth and enjoyable. Our guide, Riccardo, went above and beyond—his exceptional knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for the group truly stood out. His professionalism and passion greatly enriched the experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for taking your time to write this beautiful review. We hope to see you again sometime soon!
We can't thank Camilla and her entire team at Rome Italy Explora enough for our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy! From the time I did research until after our tour was complete, the company went above and beyond to make sure every need/question was answered. We had booked several tours with this company, but this particular day was something I was so looking forward to as I adore St. Francis & St. Rita. I was so grateful to even find a tour like this as we wanted to stay based in Rome. Our tour guide Maria and driver Luigi were absolutely amazing. As my in-laws are primarily Spanish speakers, we were so blessed to have Maria and Luigi as they also speak Spanish! We saw so many impressive sights in Assisi and Cascia that I was overwhelmed with joy. The tour and lunch were absolutely a dream come true for me. Seeing St. Carlo Acutis was icing on the cake, and we were truly so blessed to experience it. I highly recommend Rome Italy Explora to families who are looking for a company who truly cares about tailoring your experience to fit your needs. I hope to book them again for our next trip! :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you loved the Assisi and Cascia tour and that Maria and Luigi made your day so special. Your kind words mean the world to our team. We’re thrilled the experience was a dream come true and hope to welcome you again soon!
Incredible Private Day Tour to Assisi & Cascia We did the Assisi and Cascia Private Day Tour from Rome with Lunch and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment Luigi pulled up in the van, we knew we were in good hands. The van was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and they even had water bottles waiting for us—such a thoughtful touch for a long day. Our guide, Francesco, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so kind and engaging. He really made this trip special. Being in Assisi and Cascia felt almost unreal—surrounded by the history and presence of Saints Francis, Clare, Rita, and Blessed Carlo Acutis. Francesco shared the stories and history of the Saints in such a meaningful way that we all, including our kids (11 and 13), stayed engaged the entire time. Luigi was a fantastic driver—safe, patient, and kind—making the long journey feel effortless. Lunch in Assisi was an experience in itself: a beautiful restaurant with a view of the town and absolutely amazing food. It was a long day (about 12 hours), but it never felt tiring. We brought pillows so the kids can rest on the way there and back. Everything ran smoothly, and the combination of fascinating history, breathtaking scenery, and great company made it a day we’ll always remember. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the day in Assisi and Cascia with Francesco and Luigi, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour in Italy!
Personalized and extremely informative. Francesco ensured everything was perfect! So thoughtful with an umbrella and bottled water for each of us. Luigi drove the van safely and efficiently and accompanied us at every turn. Madeline was very friendly and thorough, and Father Oswald made our monastery visit in Cascia the highlight of our tour. What a terrific day!!
Thanks a ton for the glowing review! We’re so glad we could meet your expectations.
I could never have imagined a more beautiful experience from our recent day trip to Assisi and Cascia. A BIG Grazie to our tour host Juliana and her team Roberto, Rita and Madelina for their fantastic effort. They were tireless, very patient, friendly, considerate and made us feel special and like family all day long. Juliana and Roberto plus their excellent tour guides provided such a great insight into the history/story of the three saints. They allowed us to venerate, meditate, pray and connect with the peace of St Francis, St Claire and St Rita. So much to see, so many little things we never knew and learned with constant pleasant surprises at every turn make this tour into a life changing experience. This was one of the greatest tours my mum and I had in Italy. I highly recommend booking this luxury tour to Assissi and Cascia.
Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it! It was our pleasure being part of such a special experience, we hope to see you soon!
Absolutely amazing!!! I felt like a queen. I was the only one on the tour. Luigi and Rosanna took great care of me. They were super nice and very knowledgeable!! And when we had a little extra time we were able to have lunch and make an extra stop. An amazing trip!!! Kind souls. Highly recommend!!
Every day we try our best to win the trust of customers like you, thank you for your 5-Star review! e really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We could never have imagined a more beautiful experience from our recent one-day trip yesterday to Assisi and Cascia with the best private tour guides ever…Rome Italy Explora. Rosanna, Luigi and everyone on the team were fantastic, tireless, patient, so accommodating and considerate, and always made you feel just like family. I’m a disabled veteran with a lot of anxiety in new places and unfamiliar faces and I easily relaxed like I was visiting old friends. They are so in control and seamlessly insert you into every place. Rosanna and Luigi, plus their excellent team of seasoned drivers and top-notch, expert specialty tour guides provided such a great, no rush vibe allowing us to venerate, meditate, pray and connect with the peace of St Francis and St Rita. So much to see, so many little things we never knew and learned yesterday with constant pleasant surprises at every turn make this tour into a life changing experience. Not even joking…This was the greatest tour my wife and I have ever experienced in our lives. First time in Italy and we will work with this company again and again while we’re here. Worth every penny and so much more. You can’t find this kind of service back home where we’re from. Don’t skip out on this tour and definitely don’t hesitate to use Rome Italy Explora. Truly…Bellisimo!
We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this note. Our company values put customer satisfaction as top priority and we are committed to our customers. Its customers like you that make our job wonderful. We look forward to serving you again.
We booked this tour with Rome Italy Explora and very happy that we did go with Rossana and her team. She met us on time where we were staying and guided us to the car, which was very comfortable for my family (we did the tour with our two children ages 10 and 14 and they were able to have a quick nap in the back). The driver was safe, and Rossana spent great time answring our endless questions. The tour itself was very informative and rich in spirituality. We are very grateful for Rossana and her team and will recommend this tour to family and friends.
Thanks for the awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Come back and see us soon. Cheers!
My mom had requested to visit Europe for her 70th birthday. We didn't have the resources to travel until recently so I wanted to make this a memorable trip for her, while still on a budget. Fortunately for us, we were able to do it before the covid pandemic took hold of the world. As I was researching and booking tours, I met Rossana. She was very communicative and informative, and I ended up booking three private tours with her: (1) Roman Basilicas, (2) Padre Pio and St. Michael the Archangel Sanctuary, and (3) Assisi and Cascia. She even helped me navigate how to attend an audience with my mom and the Pope. Rossana and Luigi treated us like family! They met us promptly in Rome, picking us up and dropping us off at our hotel. They brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate my mom's birthday, which my mom later left for Padre Pio. They were very accommodating to my mom's mobility needs and provided a wheel chair. At all times, I felt my mom was safe in their care. Rossana was very knowledgeable and conveyed her knowledge about every location we went. It was clear that she is passionate about Italy, it's culture, and it's history. The Roman Basilica tour was a great way to see an overview of the city as well. One of the benefits of the private tours was being able to stay in an area as long as we wanted, which also gave us time to pray when we visited my mom's favorite saint, Padre Pio, and my favorite saint, St. Francis of Assisi. It also meant we had the opportunity to eat at some delicious family-run restaurants. On our journey to visit St. Francis, St. Claire, and St. Rita, we bumped into a church group visiting from Naples, first helping them take group photos and then as we prepared for evening mass at Cascia. Rossana was incredible, stepping in to interpret for us. When we met again at a gas station on our way back to Rome, we made plans to visit them in Naples and Rossana agreed to be our guide. I cannot thank Rossana and Luigi enough for making my mom's birthday truly an enjoyable and memorable one! We cannot wait to go back and see Naples with Rossana and Luigi when it is safe to do so!
Thanks for the awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Being with you and your beautiful mum was a privilege for us and we enjoyed every minute of your company. I really hope that we can meet again soon for other incredible memories together! 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹
