our driver was prompt and waiting for us at the exact location we were told to wait. his driving was smooth and we were relaxed. this was a great idea. we were stationed in Florence and by going to these two towns we were able to see a lot of the area and didn't feel like we missed out on anything. having a private tour was also special because we got to tailored to our particular needs. go for it and book it.

Very comfortable transfer. our driver very attentive. It is not my first time in Assisi, it always brings me joy, great peace at the tomb of Saint Francis (which is why I have returned) and my friends are captivated. Our guide Sandra, was very supportive in telling us part of the history, but she did everything very quickly... there was no time to really enjoy our visit to the Church. Everything else very good
