Full description
Head out from Florence into the rolling green hills of Tuscany and Umbria to discover the architectural jewels of Assisi and Cortona. Your 11-hour tour begins in Assisi, the home of San Francesco. Your guide will lead you along the narrow, winding streets of the medieval town as you learn about its history. Inside the Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi you’ll admire Giotto’s frescos of the life of San Francesco and discover why this is such an important pilgrimage site. See the interior of the Basilica of Santa Chiara, dedicated to a follower of San Francesco. Afterwards you’ll have free time for a stroll around this mystical city. Your tour will then continue with a visit to Santa Maria degli Angeli Church, the birthplace of the Franciscan Order. Cross back into Tuscany to the town of Cortona, built by the Etruscans, and noted for its architectural wonders and panoramic views over the surrounding landscape. Cortona is also well known as the setting for the movie, Under the Tuscan Sun.

This is an amazing tour that needs to be done by all. Our driver Alberto as well as Sara our guide were exceptional & patient. Sara explained meeting points & times thoroughly & precisely. Unfortunately due to some who don’t listen, we were held up for a generous amount of time but Alberto & Sara continued ever so professionally to accommodate the rest of us who followed her clear instructions. I give this tour 5 stars ⭐️ I love Assisi

This tour is only offered Mondays and Thursdays, so definitely book it if are in Florence one of those days. My tour group was about 15 people in a small bus. The participants were a mix of Spanish and English speakers so the guides provided all information in both Spanish and Engligh. The Tour Leader provides context for Cortona and Assissi while in the bus. We had about 60 minutes of free time in Cortona, a very nice small hill town. We did not do the group lunch in Assisi and instead ate something fast in the main square. Our tour with the local tour guide included the Church of Santa Clara, the historic center of Assisi, and the Church of San Fransisco. We also visited SANTA MARIA DEGLI ANGELI just outside of Assisi. It was a full day, but enough time at each stop.

Enjoyable. Really worthwhile. However, our tour was blended with a Spanish group - all of which I believe were devout Catholic. The other half of the tour (American and Canadian). The local guide in Assisi did a good job, but struggled a little with English. She was favouring the Spanish group. This was possibly due to the fact that a few of them kept interrupting her when she was trying to speak English to the other half of the tour. She tried to keep us involved, but it felt lopsided. Definently would do this tour again with family.
