Detailed Tour Description:
Assisi is one of Italy's most popular destinations. Your driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you through the beautiful countryside, to arrive at the small hilltop town, where Italy's patron saint was born.
Your private guide will meet you and take you through the town, where you will see the Basilica of St. Clare*, St Francis’ birthplace, his childhood home and the town center. You will have a chance to visit the wonderful Papal Basilica of St Francis*, close to the ancient city walls, with its magnificent frescoes.
You will have some free time for lunch and the chance to explore the town on your own.
In the afternoon, you'll meet your driver again and stop at the foot of the hill to visit the only other Papal basilica outside of Rome, the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (St. Mary of the Angels). Inside this church is the Chapel of Porziuncola*, where St. Francis founded the Franciscan Order, as well the cell where the saint died in 1226.
