    What you'll see and do

    1. Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli

      An interesting visit to St. Francis Basilica with his early Renaissance master-pieces by Giotto and Cimabue and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels , After the death of Saint Francis in 1226, the friars built several small huts around the Porziuncola. In 1230, a refectory and some adjacent buildings were added. In the course of time, little porticoes and accommodations for the friars were added around the Porziuncola. Some foundations of these were discovered during excavations under the floor of the present basilica between 1967 and 1969. As vast numbers of pilgrims came flocking to Assisi to receive the "Pardon of Assisi" the small space of the Porziuncola became completely inadequate to house all these pilgrims. The necessity grew to build a church incorporating the Porziuncola. The buildings around the shrine were taken down by order of Pope Pius V (1566-1572), except the Chapel of the Transito, the cell in which St. Francis had died. Construction of the basilica started on 25 March 1569.

    Great Tour

    Great tour. We saw a lot of different places and the tour guide, Monica, was very informative as well as being friendly. The driver was courteous and the drive was enjoyable. We had enough time to look at the sites, shop and have lunch. The tour guide we had in Assisi showed us all the sites we wanted to see, in spite of it being a very busy place.

    Assisi is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ tour

    Excellent in-depth tour with knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. Fascinating and visible history of the growth of Assisi and its place in the history of the region.

    Fabulous

    This was a great tour. Nicholas our guide was very kind and helpful and knowledgeable! Expect long van ride to get there and back. Lunch was in a quaint place and you have to pay. It was very hot the whole day and a lot of treking uphill so have good walking shoes. You will see many cathedrals so for women have a light scarf if your shoulders are bare. Assisi was incredible! We switched guides and Daniella was fabulous. A good tour but a bit pricey.

    Highly recommend based on my tour guides and experience

    Ellen, my guide was very helpful and caring. I was picked up a little early which was perfect because of the heat. The whole experience was magical and she made sure I had everything I needed. I left something in the car. She found it and returned it promptly. The tour guide at Assisi was very kind, helpful and also informative.

    Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

    How much does Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $330 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

    Is Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 114 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: an Epic Day Tour in Umbria start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rome?

    +

    Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rome?

    +

    April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rome?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
