Saint Francis of Assisi abandoned a life of luxury for a life devoted to Christianity. Due to his devotion to the Christian faith, Saint Francis of Assisi is perhaps the most well-loved saint in the country of Italy, and perhaps also the world. St. Francis is also the patron of animals, merchants, and ecology. His birthplace, Assisi, is one of the most beautiful cities to visit on any trip to Italy. This private tour from Rome offers a unique opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis and Saint Claire. You will be taken to the most significant basilicas and the sacred monastery, as well as lively squares, providing you with a fantastic insight into the Umbria area. This is a tour by car with an English-speaking driver. Italian laws permit only licensed tour guides to accompany guests on foot to sight see, so to comply with these strict laws your driver will wait for you with the vehicle while you self tour at your own leisure.
