Assisi And Orvieto From Rome: Full Day Private Tour Experience

Our private tour day-trip to Assisi and Orvieto in late October, 2023 was perfect! My husband and I were picked up on time, in the early morning, at our hotel in Rome. Our driver, Giuseppe, was accompanied by our tour assistant, also name Giuseppe. Both men could not have been more friendly and considerate. We had an easy drive, first to Orvieto, and then to Assisi, making a rest stop along the way. Giuseppe described the countryside as we drove along and answered any/all of our questions. We asked to go to St. Patrick's Well; I highly recommend it! We saw the important sights of/around Orvieto, especially the magnificent Duomo. In Assisi, after a delicious local lunch, we stopped at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and viewed the Portiuncula inside. In the old town of Assisi, we met up with our local guide, Begonia, who was with us for 2 hours. We had an extensive description of the life of St. Francis and also of the beautiful town. We visited the chapel of St. Clare; the lower church (where St. Francis is buried), and the upper Basilica...all with time for prayer, and with extensive descriptions and interpretations from Begonia. For our comfort, our driver dropped us off the meet Begonia at the upper part of the town of Assisi, giving us a gentle walk down to the Basilica where the driver later picked us up at the bottom. This was a full-day tour, but we never felt rushed or hurried. A bonus: on the drive back to our hotel in the heart of Rome, Giuseppe played music by Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti as we drove through the enchanting Italian countryside. What a wonderful way to visit Assisi and Orvieto - well worth the investment!

Asís era un destino pendiente para mí. Impacta lo que puede sentirse al recorrer sus calles. Las guías, Caterina y Maddalena, logran con sus relatos (a los que le ponen pasión y profecionalismo), el poder transportarse en el tiempo y conectarse emocionalmente con la vida de aquella ciudad en el S.XII. Francisco y su familia, lo mismo Clara. Orvieto es también una bella ciudad, digna de ser recorrida. Imperdible.
