Custom Rome Italy Vatican City Tours

Discover the beauty of the Holy town of Assisi on a private day trip from Florence.
A Florence day trip to hillside Assisi one of Italy's prime tourist attractions takes our guests to the beautiful and off the beaten track spectacular Umbria region rich with history, vineyards and breathtaking hilltop medieval towns offering the opportunity to enjoy unspoiled landscapes, excellent food and fine medieval art. After a scenic drive along Tuscan countryside, with ever changing scenery of vineyards and olive trees guests get into the Umbria region called the “green heart” of Italy for its wonderful landscapes, pass along the Trasimeno Lake before reaching Assisi a simple and peaceful town with a rich religious heritage famous all over the world for being the native town of both St. Francis and St. Clare and that with its Roman ruins, winding medieval streets and sacred shrines has been a major Catholic pilgrimage destination for centuries and it is listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. In the footsteps of St. Francis guests enjoy St. Francis Basilica whose most magnificent feature is the Giotto frescoes depicting the life of St. Francis, the Church of St. Claire, the Town Hall Square with its People's Palace and Roman temple dedicated to Minerva.
Situated on the slopes of Monte Subasio Assisi is a great town for wandering and exploring. Its narrow and steep lanes are picturesque and conceal plenty of surprises: a hidden restaurant, a faded fresco, a stunning view. Occasional olive groves are dotted among the stairways and rooftops, where shy cats creep out of sight of passers-by. This charming walled town has many more treasures connected to its history and strolling through its alleys and cobblestoned streets more sites and curiosities will be brought to your attention. Leaving Assisi guests admire the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, located at the foot of the hill of Assisi where the young Francis understood his vocation.
