Unforgettable Tour with the Amazing Antonietta and Pietro! We had the most incredible private tour with our wonderful guide, Antonietta, and our fantastic driver, Pietro. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Antonietta was the best tour guide we’ve ever had—warm, kind, friendly, and so engaging. She immediately made us feel comfortable and cared for, and her deep knowledge of the area of Roccaporena, Cascia and Spoleto brought everything to life in the most enjoyable and insightful way. It felt like we were exploring with a family friend who was excited to share her home with us. Pietro, our driver, was equally amazing—professional, courteous, and an excellent driver. The air-conditioned minivan was spotless and very comfortable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable, especially with the summer heat! It was a very special day for my parents and me, and it exceeded all expectations. Thank you Antonietta for a truly memorable experience!

The trip was wonderful. We went with the driver and guide Severino, who was very attentive and caring, and let us visit wherever we wanted, so we went to Roccaporena and Cascia. I highly recommend it.

Full description

Umbria is the hometown of famous saints St. Francis (the patron saint of Italy and founder of the Franciscan order), St. Clare (the founder of the order of St. Clare), and the equally famous St. Rita of Cascia. Born in Roccaporena in 1381, St. Rita was one of the most popular saints of the Catholic Church, with her related symbols being roses and figs. The Basilica was built in 1937 and consecrated in 1947, and the monastery where she lived for forty years was rebuilt in the 18th Century and houses the nuns of the Augustinian community.

In between your exploring of the history of Umbria, you will have free time for lunch in a typical restaurant, and you may also choose to utilize this time off for personal prayer. Your trip then continues to Spoleto, a gorgeous Middle Ages uphill town in which you will discover Etruscan and Roman Age buildings such as a theater and the amphitheater which are located in the upper village.

The Rocca Albornoziana houses 6 towers, a number of beautiful frescoes and the National Museum. The 14th century Ponte delle Torri, or "Bridge of Towers", is built on the remains of a Roman aqueduct, and stretches across a gorge towards the Rocca.

The trip was simply wonderful! I was looking for something religious on this visit and I got exactly what I wanted! The driver, Adam, was very polite and attentive. The guide, Severino, was excellent! He explained everything in Portuguese, which made the trip even more enchanting! The town of Rogoredo is a piece of history and faith! We arrived in Cascia on schedule and were able to visit the monastery with a tour by the friar and attend Mass! I recommend the tour and the company!
