Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Assisi, Assisi, Province of Perugia, Umbria
After meeting your english – speaking driver, you make the way to Umbria Region: The trip takes long about 2 hours 30 minutes to reach Assisi, your first destination: As the birth place of one of Catholicism’s most venerated saints (one of the two patron saints of Italy), Assisi is a town with religion very close to its heart. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to see monks in long brown robes roaming the streets or bands of pilgrims walking the country roads surrounding the town. Pilgrims have been coming to Assisi, Italy since the 13th century to venerate St. Francis, who was born and buried here, but you don’t have to be religious to enjoy the beauty of this postcard-perfect town. The entire town basks in this coveted status because of its plethora of art and historically significant buildings, like the Basilica di San Francesco. You can decide to get inside (own expenses) or just take a look outside, while you walk around Assisi.
