Assisi Private Tour

The Assisi private tour will start outside the Basilica of St. Clare. We'll spend 3 hours walking around the city, stopping to see the main monuments and other points of interest. First, we'll visit the Upper Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and the Lower Basilica of St. Francis. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, this place of worship was constructed in honour of the founder of the Franciscan order.

For about 1 hour 30 minutes, we'll discover the numerous chapels that form the sanctuary and the crypt containing the mortal remains of St. Francis. The tour will continue to the Temple of Minerva, located in Piazza del Comune, which currently functions as a church but has origins related to the Old Roman Empire. You'll discover this and more during the visit.

Afterwards, we'll go to the Chiesa Nuova, built on the site of the former family home of St. Francis of Assisi. The tour will conclude with insights into the history of the city and St. Francis's life.
