What people are saying about Basilica of Saint Clare, Assisi

This tour was absolutely the most incredible tour we have taken in our over 2 weeks in Italy. Cortona was a beautiful town and worth the 1 hour stop there. Getting a full guided tour of the stunning town Assisi, learning the rich history and exploring St Clare’s Church and the St Francis Basilica, getting to pray at the final resting places of St Clare and St Francis and experiencing the incredible frescos and artwork closeup is an experience that we will cherish forever. The added bonus of stopping to explore the Basilica of St Mary of the Angels and its incredible “church within a church” just left us awestruck. Book this trip and enjoy an experience of a lifetime.

Unmissable places! Anthony and Roberto were invaluable in making our day unforgettable. Thank you!

Guide was good and helpful which made visit to both these 2 towns more interesting and enjoyable.

I love the small group. The two tour ladies were wonderful and knowledgeable!

It’s a very long tour with lots of walking. But, it’s worth it!
