About Assisi
Assisi rewards the first-time visitor who looks beyond the basilica: a small hilltown of pale stone, steep lanes and Umbrian quiet, best understood by walking it with someone local. Start with the Assisi Full Day Tour: St Francis Basilica & Porziuncola with Local Guide, which pairs the frescoed basilica with the Porziuncola chapel, or head further afield on the From Rome: Private Day Trip to Assisi & Orvieto if you are basing yourself in the capital.

Frequently asked questions
First-timer tours here are built around orientation as much as sightseeing: a local guide walks you through the basilica's fresco cycle, explains the Franciscan story, and shows you how the town's lanes connect. That context makes everything you see afterwards easier to read, whether you continue on foot or take a longer trip out to Spello.
