Set off on a day trip from Rome to discover the birthplace of St Francis in the town of Assisi.
Tour Description
The tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in Rome, followed by travel to the Umbria region. In Assisi, experience a guided tour of the Basilica of Saint Francis, which includes the saint’s tomb and important frescoes from the 12th to 14th centuries.
Explore Piazza del Comune, observing the exterior of the Palazzo dei Priori, the People's Capitol Palace, the Civic Tower, and the Temple of Minerva. Visit the Basilica of Saint Clare, housing the saint’s relics, and the Sanctuary of the Renunciation, where Blessed Carlo Acutis is buried.
Enjoy a one-hour guided visit to a traditional Umbrian winery, including a tasting of regional wine paired with bruschetta, cheeses, and cured meats. A brief 20-minute stop at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli will precede our return to Rome, viewing the Porziuncola and the Chapel of the Transit, where St Francis died in 1226.
The tour concludes at Piazza della Repubblica in Rome, approximately 12 hours after departure.
Pickup Details
Pickup is available for hotels within the Aurelian Walls in Rome. For those outside this area or staying in an apartment or B&B, please meet directly at Piazza della Repubblica at 7:30 am, in front of the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Wine Tasting
Depending on availability, the wine tasting may be held in a traditional restaurant rather than a winery, with regional wine paired with local products still provided.
Private Excursion
You can also book a Rome private day trip if desired.
Instructions
If you're staying in a hotel within the Aurelian Walls, the guide will pick you up at the reception between 7 and 7:30 am. A few days before the activity we'll inform you of the exact time.
On the other hand, if you're staying in a flat or bed and breakfast, you should go directly to the meeting point in Piazza della Repubblica, in front of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, at 7:30 am. Please be on time so as not to delay the group.
If you have any problems or want to know the exact time of pick-up you can call the provider directly.
Important Info
- It's strictly forbidden to bring food or drinks (we only accept bottles of water) inside our vehicles.
- Our vehicles are not suitable for transporting wheelchairs or other electric or motorised vehicles for disabled people or people with reduced mobility due to their size. We can only transport non-motorised, foldable wheelchairs. In addition, the vehicles are very high, so the tour is not recommended for people with mobility issues.
