Best tour guide in 55 years of world travel
Dr. Maura is the most excellent tour guide we've had after 55 years of travel around the world. I left the US in 1971 for Japan and now my husband and I are both 76 so we are serious! Dr Maura is intelligent, she is compassionate, she has a doctorate in art and knows everything about the beautiful history, cathedral architecture, paintings and sculptures in Assisi and probably all of Italy. Maybe even France and other countries - ask her. Maybe she knows all the food too. We didn't ask for a food tour but ask her! Dr Maura is passionate from her heart for all the beauty of Italian culture and she will share it with you. She can tailor your tour perfectly just for you. Tell her what you want and Dr Maura will make it happen. She is amazing and the prices are incredibly reasonable. I want to return to Italy just to be with her.

Best Version of Assisi is with Maura
Maura is wonderful. I have visited Assisi several times but this was the first time I really understood the history. Maura kept the tour fun and informative. We loved the time we spent with her. I would recommend her to anyone visiting Umbria. I can't wait to go back and hire her for her other tours.

The Best Guide
Take what could be ordinary and turn it in to something extraordinary with the right guide. This guide is Maura, who makes stone come to life, with her knowledge, her warmth and her organization. This is everything you wish to find in a guide for a magnificent look through magnifying glass into which ever city you choose or which ever tour. You won't go wrong.

A Multi-Generational Tour to Remember!
Maura was incredible - she gave our family of multiple generations an excellent tour we will always remember! From start to finish, she was warm, kind, accommodating, and professional. I made a mistake on the date of our tour, and she was gracious enough to do the tour for us that day in the time slot she had available! When it was time to meet her, she gave us great directions and made it easy to find her. When we finally met her, she was warm, compassionate, and made us feel like a part of her family. On top of that, she gave us a top-notch tour of the main sites of Assisi. She knew all the highlights to share with us - historical, religious, and cultural facts and stories. And she shared them with us in a way that kept us interested and engaged, while also moving us along. I appreciated that she was also very accommodating to our guests that had mobility issues, and was flexible and gave us options so our tour would be tailored to our needs and interests. We had the best time, and we will always be grateful for her kindness and compassion and energy! Grazie, Maura!
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful and thoughtful review.
Meeting your family was truly a special experience for me and I feel very grateful that I could share this time with all of you.
I always try to make every tour comfortable and meaningful for everyone, especially when traveling with different generations and different needs.
I am very happy to hear that you felt welcomed, cared for, and at ease during our time together. For me, this is just as important as sharing the history and spirituality of Assisi.
Thank you also for your understanding about the scheduling change - sometimes small adjustments create the best experiences and I am glad everything worked out so well.
Your kindness and appreciation mean a lot to me.
Thank you again for your trust.
Grazie di cuore.

Seeing Assisi’s Finest Sights with Assisi’s Finest Guide
We took a couples tour of Assisi with Maura. She was superb. Starting from the top of the town, she took us through the beautiful neighborhoods and introduced us to some of the locals along the way. As we made our way down the hill toward the Basilica of St. Francis, she pointed out all the points of interest, including the best spots for taking pictures. Here knowledge of and passion for Assisi are unmatched and she had us fully prepared for our trip through the Basilica. Maura even suggested options for lunch and then made reservations for us. By the way, her suggestion of Re Tartu agli Orti was spot on as the food, service, and atmosphere were top-notch. This group of tourists gives Maura two thumbs up—-way, way up!!
Operator response
Thanks for your beautiful review!
I am very happy you enjoyed the walk through the town, the Basilica of Saint Francis and even the little details like the photo spots and lunch recommandation.
Thanks for the "two thumbs up!!!"
Assisi is a very special place for me and it means a lot when visitors can feel that passion too!

Fun, engaging, and full life!
We booked a tour with Maura for me and my group of art students traveling from abroad, and were so glad we did! She is engaging, upbeat, and delightful - and knows all the best places to visit. My students loved her, and I enjoyed her energy and passion for this city and all it has to offer.
She also suggested the best restaurant for lunch, a real gem!
If you can get a tour guide, choose Maura — you definitely won’t be disappointed!
Operator response
It was a real joy to spend time with you and your beautiful group of art students!
Seeing Assisi through the eyes of people who love art always makes the experience even more special for me.
I am very happy that my tour made your visit memorable. Assisi has so much art, history and culture to share! It is always a pleasure to pass that on to curious and enthusiastic travelers like your young group of students.
Grazie.

We toured Assisi one day and Perugia the next - both were decimating & beautifully explained to us. Highly recommend!
