Day Trip to Assisi + Wine Tasting

Set off on a day trip from Rome across the Italian countryside to discover the birthplace of St Francis in the charming town of Assisi.

Tour Description

After hotel pickup at the indicated time, we will leave Rome and head towards the Umbria region, skirting Lake Trasimeno. A coffee stop will be made at the foot of Spoleto. Upon arrival in Assisi, a guided tour will commence, starting with a half-hour visit to the Basilica of St. Francis, which houses the saint's tomb and significant frescoes.

Next, we will visit the Town Hall Square to admire the Palazzo dei Priori, Palazzo del Capitolo del Popolo, Torre Civica, and the Temple of Minerva, one of the best-preserved Roman buildings. The tour will continue to the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis in the Santuario della Spogliazione.
