What you'll see and do
Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli
The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is located 4 km from Assisi. Inside the Basilica there is the Porziuncola Chapel; the place most loved by Saint Francis and where God granted him special graces. Initially, the Porziuncola was an ancient chapel, surrounded by a small portion of forest (hence perhaps the name) belonging to the Benedictines of the Monastery of S. Benedetto del Monte Subasio. Having remained abandoned for a long time, it was restored by Francesco who rented it from Abbot Teobaldo. After the death of the Saint, some permanent buildings arose around the church: the friars' choir, various small oratories and then a small convent. In the second half of the 1500s Pius V ordered the construction of a large basilica that would enclose and protect the Porziuncola and welcome the crowds of pilgrims who continually flocked there.

Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi
The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, the place that has preserved the mortal remains of the seraphic saint since 1230, is one of the most important places of worship in Italy and the world. In 2000, the basilica was included in the UNESCO world heritage list. The first stone of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi was laid on 16 July 1228, just two days after Francis' death and the day after his proclamation as a saint by Pope Gregory IX. According to tradition, it was Francis himself who indicated exactly the place where he wished to be buried. The church represents one of the cornerstones of the spread of Gothic in Italy. In addition to being the burial place of Saint Francis, it assumed fundamental importance for the papacy, which saw the Franciscan order as a great ally for strengthening ties with the humblest and most popular classes. The construction of the basilica was started in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and then consecrated in 1253 by Pope Innocent IV.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent, Personalised Tour from Rome to Assisi
We had a wonderful day trip from Rome to Assisi, and our entire family of four thoroughly enjoyed the experience! A big thank you to our fantastic tour guide, Elizabeth, and our driver, Emmanuel, for making the day so memorable. Both Elizabeth and Emmanuel were extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional. They picked us up from our hotel right on time, and Emmanuel drove us safely and comfortably throughout the entire journey in a very good vehicle. Elizabeth was an outstanding guide who explained everything in great detail, sharing fascinating information and insights at every stop. She also gave us helpful tips for each place we visited. What we particularly appreciated was the flexibility she offered, allowing us to explore each location at our own pace without feeling rushed. The whole experience felt almost like a private, personalised tour tailored to our family's interests and needs, rather than a standard group excursion. We could truly enjoy the beauty, history, and atmosphere of Assisi at our own pace. We highly recommend Elizabeth and Emmanuel to anyone planning a day trip from Rome to Assisi. Their friendliness, knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail made this a truly special experience for our family. Thank you, Elizabeth and Emmanuel, for such a wonderful and memorable day! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this tour!
It’s excellent! We stopped to see a beautiful basilica on the way to Assisi, cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. There is enough time to see the main attractions in Assisi. We had lunch at a family run trattoria which was wonderful! On the way back to Rome, we stopped in Orvieto, a very pretty town, we visited the cathedral of the Assumption which is so beautiful on the outside with wonderful art inside! I highly recommend this tour
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring Assisi and Orvieto, admiring the beautiful churches and their artwork, and sharing a lovely meal at a family-run trattoria. It’s great to hear that you felt there was enough time to appreciate the main sights. Thank you for recommending us—we hope to welcome you back!

Amazing day trip!
Excellent! Tour assistant and driver were both very pleasant. On time departure. Beautiful drive. Tour guide Marco in Assisi was very thorough and excellent topic knowledge. Tour went long because he seemed to really enjoy what he does. Tour assistant pointed things out on the way, but also didn’t just talk at us the whole time. I cannot recommend the group at Welcome Italy enough for their day excursions. Cars are very clean and comfortable. We had paid for a small group tour but it ended up being only us which made the tour even more personal.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience and that every aspect of the tour met your expectations. It is especially rewarding to know that both your tour assistant and driver contributed to a pleasant and comfortable day, and that you appreciated the clean and comfortable vehicle as well as the beautiful scenery along the route. We are particularly pleased that Marco’s passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm helped make the visit to Assisi so memorable. Sharing the history and significance of these remarkable places is something our guides truly enjoy, and it is wonderful to hear that this came through during your experience. We are also glad that you appreciated the balance provided by your tour assistant, offering interesting insights along the way while still allowing you time to relax and enjoy the journey. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Knowing that the tour became an even more personal experience due to the small group size makes us especially happy. Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another unforgettable experience in Italy.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Assisi and Orvieto from Rome: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €128 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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour 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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour?
+
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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour 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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour?
+
Around 9 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: Enjoy a Day in Umbria, Private Tour 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.
