I dont know if there are many tours to choose from in Assisi, but you dont need to look anymore, just book this one. This time in Italy we took a lot of guided tours and I can honestly say that Michele was one of the best guides we had ever encountered in Italy. Tour was informative, interesting and a pleasure to take part of. Highly recommended! Vytautas

We had a wonderful day our exploring the Bevagna area, villages, farmlands and wine tasting! Daniele is very friendly and welcoming, he is a natural host and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day out exploring. The cycle route was a lovely mix of charming towns and countryside and farmlands, with only 2 mild hills - it is 95% flat. We stopped at a bio-organic wine farm and were treated to a very generous food tasting, cheeses, cured meats, and very generous wine tastings! Very much recommend this if you want to get out and enjoy the scenery and countryside on an easy cycle route with a friendly guide and good food and wine!

Via Ponte dei Galli, 06081 Assisi PG, Italy Italian Touch

Assisi  - 3/4 hours - Walking through olive trees and river. An intact piece of the Umbrian Countryside a place of harmony and silence at the foot of the great Basilica of St Francis of Assisi; a walk through this landscape becomes an inner journey - one that inspired Michelangelo Pistoletto to create a stunning work of land art. This is a woodland under Fai protection. Through a gateway in the wall surrounding the square of the Basilica Superiore in Assisi you enter in a narrow path that leads to a wide  valley floor, at the foot of the city centre.  This is no  ordinary excursion; rather, it is an ongoing, peaceful discovery, a new form of pilgrimage into history and into the sacred, through 64 hectares of nature, amid wooded tracts, cultivated fileds, walls of pink stone, clearings and olive groves - a 64 hectare plot that years of neglect had reduced to a dumping ground, but which FAI has now salvaged in its entierity.

Inclusions: Lunch box with tipical Umbrian product: Torta al testo, Torta al Formaggio, 1/2 bottle of water, Snacks, Bottled water, Guided walking tour in St. Francis wood , 1 hour Assisi guided tour with a professional guide

Exclusions: The listed price does not include a parking fee, payable at the time of tour check-out., Lunch in a typical restaurant instead of box lunch with a supplement.
