Overview

This unforgettable excursion will give you the chance to leave the beaten path and take an inside look at Francis' real way of life. He took Jesus' message of simplicity and non-materialism to heart and challenged the decadence of the Roman Church. It will be an authentic experience for those travelers who are not in a hurry and have time to listen to the silence.

Itinerary

  • Eremo Delle Carceri

    The Eremo is a peaceful, humble and solitary spot, nestled in the woods where Francis and his followers dwelled in caves as hermits. The stunning view of the green valley and the surrounding hills you can enjoy from the little cloister is just amazing!

    1 hour

  • San Damiano

    In this simple, silent and inspiring place Francis composed the Canticle of the Creatures, the famous Crucifix of Saint Damien asked Him to repair the Church which was falling into ruin and Saint Clare spent her spiritual life with her companions.

    1 hour

  • Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli

    The huge Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, which was built around the tiny Porziuncola Chapel, is the place where Francis prayed with His Friars and died. This is also where the thorns dropped off the roses where Francis threw himself to fight a temptation.

Maura was EXCEPTIONAL!

Published on Jul, 2024

The tour of the surrounding areas of Assisi - San Damiano, the hermitage and St. Maria degli Angeli - with Maura was the best excursion on our 8 day trip to Italy. Maura is not only knowledgeable around the history of St. Francis and the history of the Franciscan order but was born and raised in the region so has local knowledge of the area if you are interested. Her English is impeccable! Maura is truly a delight and a kind soul. Being in her presence was such a gift!

Great learning experience

Published on Oct, 2023

Maura was an excellent guide. She was well prepared, punctual and very attentive to all our requests and questions. Her knowledge of St. Francis and Assisi is extensive. We are thankful she shared so much of it with us.

Great experiencie, awesome tour guide

Published on Oct, 2023

Maura was wonderful, sweet, very knowledgeable and patient. She took us to the places we were most interested in and took the time to explain everything. We recommend her tours sooo much!! She actually does Umbria tours in general . We would definitely use her again when visiting other cities in Umbria .

Best Guide Ever!

Published on Sep, 2023

Maura is an excellent tour guide. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable :). We both agreed that we wished we had more time in Umbria so that we could spend another day with Maura exploring Perugia and Gubbio. We had gone on our own however Mauras knowledge and recommendations really made our holiday memorable ❤️

Excellent tour guide !
