Assisis omgivning: i fotspåren av Saint Francis
Beskrivning
Denna oförglömliga utflykt ger dig chansen att lämna stigen och ta en inblick i Francis verkliga livsstil. Han tog Jesu budskap om enkelhet och icke-materialism till hjärtat och utmanade den romerska kyrkans dekadens. Det blir en autentisk upplevelse för de resenärer som inte har bråttom och har tid att lyssna på tystnaden.

Resplan
Eremo är en fridfull, ödmjuk och ensam plats, inbäddad i skogen där Francis och hans anhängare bodde i grottor som eremiter. Den fantastiska utsikten över den gröna dalen och de omgivande kullarna tar dig kan njuta av från det lilla klostret är bara fantastiskt!
På denna enkla, tysta och inspirerande plats skrev Franciskus varelsernas Canticle, det berömda krucifixet av Saint Damien bad honom reparera kyrkan som höll på att förfalla och Saint Clare tillbringade sitt andliga liv med sina följeslagare.
Den enorma basilikan Saint Mary of the Angels, som byggdes runt det lilla Porziuncola-kapellet, är platsen där Franciskus bad med sina bröder och dog. Det var också här törnen tappade av rosorna där Franciskus kastade sig för att bekämpa en frestelse.

Maura did an excellent job, was friendly and informative, and helped us organize a taxi for all the stops.
We toured Assisi with our family of 7 adults, and Maura was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is highly knowledgeable and expertly tailors the experience to her group. Her tours are thorough and unhurried, and she does a fantastic job setting expectations—like detailing upcoming walking distances and terrain—which was incredibly helpful for my aging parents. Maura is deeply passionate about her region and loves sharing Umbria's rich history. I will definitely book her again when I return with my children!
Thanks for your beautiful review. I hope our paths will cross again someday; I am looking forward to meeting your kids and share my beautiful Umbria with them!
Maura was the best guide for our family trip to learn about St. Francis. She did such a good job explaining the history of Assisi and showing us places we wouldn’t have found on our own. She’s a warm, friendly guide with a great sense of humor and immediately integrated with our group. I’d highly recommend using Maura as your guide.
It was a real pleasure meeting your family and spending the day together discovering Assisi and the life of Saint Francis. I am especially happy to hear that you felt comfortable and connected during the tour, as I always hope my guests feel not just guided but truly welcomed. Sharing the hidden corners of Assisi and the story of Saint Francis with such an interested and lovely family made the experience special for me as well.
I don't even know where to begin. Our guide, Maura, gave us the most personal, detailed, informative tour that we truly felt like we WERE walking in the footsteps of St. Francis. We are doing a tour of Italy for a special occasion and Maura made this trip extra special. I would HIGHLY recommend Maura as your next guide. You will NOT regret it. Best day on our trip hands down!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! I feel truly honored that I could be part of such a special trip and special occasion for you. Walking through Assisi while retracing the life of Saint Francis is always a meaningful experience, and I am very happy to hear that you felt that connection during our time together. For me, it is not just about guiding, but about creating a memorable and personal experience for every guest. I hope the memories of Assisi will always remain a special part of your journey in Italy. Grazie.
The tour of the surrounding areas of Assisi - San Damiano, the hermitage and St. Maria degli Angeli - with Maura was the best excursion on our 8 day trip to Italy. Maura is not only knowledgeable around the history of St. Francis and the history of the Franciscan order but was born and raised in the region so has local knowledge of the area if you are interested. Her English is impeccable! Maura is truly a delight and a kind soul. Being in her presence was such a gift!
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review! Eremo delle Carceri, Santa Maria degli Angeli and San Damiano hold a special place in my heart... I hope to welcome you again soon for more unforgettable experiences...
In our first visit to Assisi, my wife and I hired Maura Baldoni to give us a private tour of “Surroundings of Assisi: in the Footsteps of Saint Francis” which included Santa Maria degli Angeli Basilica, San Damiano Church and Eremo delle Carceri. I had read quite a bit about St. Francis before the trip, but still, I learned a lot from Maura. Her story gave us a deeper understanding of the role these (beautiful) places played in the lives of St. Francis and St. Claire. We also learned about Maura, her family, and the Italian culture. The tour started at 9 AM and ended at noon just like she had described. Maura speaks English fluently and we had no problem understanding her. Since we didn’t have a car, she negotiated the taxis for us. If there’s any regret, it is that we forgot to take pictures at San Damiano 😃Otherwise, we enjoyed the tour and would gladly recommend it to others! PS: I found Maura through internet search, and I contacted her by email two months before our trip. I loved her answer when I asked her about the cancellation policy: “There’s no cancellation policy. I trust that you will come.” So simple 😃
Thank you for such lovely words about me and my tours! I am so happy you truly enjoyed my company; so did I! It was such a pleasure to share the history of those Francisca sites and their unique atmosphere!
Maura was an excellent guide. She was well prepared, punctual and very attentive to all our requests and questions. Her knowledge of St. Francis and Assisi is extensive. We are thankful she shared so much of it with us.
Thank you for your kind review! I hope we will meet again to share other experiences here in Umbria!
Maura was wonderful, sweet, very knowledgeable and patient. She took us to the places we were most interested in and took the time to explain everything. We recommend her tours sooo much!! She actually does Umbria tours in general . We would definitely use her again when visiting other cities in Umbria .
Maura is an excellent tour guide. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable :). We both agreed that we wished we had more time in Umbria so that we could spend another day with Maura exploring Perugia and Gubbio. We had gone on our own however Mauras knowledge and recommendations really made our holiday memorable ❤️
Full of knowledge, patient, full of humor, inspires a very pleasent atmosphere, perfect english, and most of all - charming lady. Highly recommended.
