Assisi And Orvieto Full-day Semi-private Tour From Rome

Rome
Tour Rating 4.2
Overview

Visit the historic center of Assisi, in a full-day tour from Rome, and learn the story of its patron saint, St. Francesco of Assisi. Now the site of many a pilgrimage, Assisi is linked in legend with its native son, St. Francis. The gentle saint founded the Franciscan order and shares honours with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature (his preaching to an audience of birds is one of the legends of his life). You will marvel at the sight of the Convent of Santa Chiara, where our guide will explain in details its history, and then continue through the countryside of Umbria in Orvieto. The city is populated since Etruscan times and was a major centre of their civilization. The Gothic cathedral is one of the major sights: the façade is particularly striking and includes some remarkable sculpture. After visiting the cities, relax on your ride back to Rome through the gorgeous Umbrian countryside.

Reviews for Assisi And Orvieto Full-day Semi-private Tour From Rome
Very poor
Yara_M
I wish I can give less than 1 star. Do not take this your. They Picked us up at 7am to go Orvieto. There was not a single person there besides us and a cat and the church was closed!! We didn’t see anything in Orvieto and the guide was very dismissive saying there was not much to see in Orvieto. After 10 minutes we left Orvieto to Assisi. Our guide was very poor and didn’t have any knowledge to share and she seemed uninterested. Our guide Annette was dismissive of everything and clearly she had no pride in the little she was explaining. To us. In Assisi she didn’t know much. Our Tour was supposed to be 7:30am to 7:30pm. We were back at hotel by 2pm. The tour was very poor and not worth the money! The other tours we booked through viatour were excellent however this one was well below average.
Great tour especially if you’re looking for a something quant and intimate.

Was much more than we expected. So much history to experience. The churches were awesome and commentary was informative. The only negative was the van. Was not comfortable for 5 adults since there was a the tour guide and driver. It was not clean by my standards.

Assisi and Orvieto are fantastic towns to visit. Our plan in hiring a guide was to secure someone with historical and regional knowledge. Elisa was pleasant but seemed to have only a basic level historical facts. She complained repeatedly about her throat and voice after a long tour the previous day. We would have appreciated more.
Best tour ever

Amazing trip. Took a long time to write this review (November 2019) but it was a once in a lifetime trip that is remembered long after. Our guide Francesca was amazing.
Serena was truly...

Serena was truly excellent. Very engaging and informative. From the moment we were picked up, she answered all questions and gave us a history of the area.
