A Beautiful, Soulful Experience with Max and Irene We had an unforgettable day touring Assisi and the Sanctuary of St. Rita of Cascia, thanks to our amazing driver Max and our wonderful guide Irene. Everything was perfectly organized, peaceful, and meaningful from start to finish. Max was punctual and drove with absolute care through the scenic countryside. The vehicle very comfortable, making the journey smooth and relaxing. Irene was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about the history and spiritual importance of both sites. Her insights into the lives of St. Francis , St. Rita , St Clare and St Carlo Acutis added such depth to the experience. Both Max and Irene made us feel completely taken care of. This wasn’t just a tour; it was a spiritual and cultural journey we’ll always remember.

the whole tour was excellent. Max and Carola lead the whole tour with professionalism. They were knowledgeable and created a comfortable atmosphere. They were punctual and the ride was smooth and comfortable. Assisi and Cascia were inspirational. The churches, the landscapes were impressive. The local guide Victoria in Assisi brought culture to our religious visit. Not to forget the recommended Porchetta Sandwich. The whole tour was beyond our expectations and I truly recommend it.
