A great driver make a great trip awesome
WOW!!! Our driver Beatrice was outstanding; we couldn’t imagine anything more one could hope for. She was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and kind, with an infectious enthusiasm. Her range of knowledge was impressive, from antiquity to religious to political. Her lunch recommendation was excellent, she anticipated our desire by making us a reservation ahead of time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that Beatrice made your tour such a memorable experience. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly make her an exceptional driver, and we will be delighted to share your kind words with her. Thank you for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Italy soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
Our family had the pleasure of spending the day with Beatrice on a trip from Rome to Assisi, and we could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, she was professional, kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. What stood out most was the care and attention she showed to my grandmother, who has mobility challenges. Beatrice went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable throughout the day, always offering assistance with genuine warmth and patience. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to our family. Beyond being an excellent and safe driver, Beatrice shared wonderful recommendations and fascinating insights about Rome, Italian culture, and the places we visited. Her local knowledge added so much to our trip and made the experience feel truly special. We are so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. If you’re looking for a driver and guide who genuinely cares about her guests and provides exceptional service, I cannot recommend Beatrice highly enough. Thank you for helping create such wonderful memories for our family! 5 stars all the way!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Italy in the future!

A Day with the Saints
Trip was executed perfectly. Pickup at hotel (AirBnB) was flawless. Guide was informative and ensured that we saw everything we expected to see. Only suggestion for improvement would be to allow a few extra minutes to shop some of the excellent-looking stores that Assisi offers.
Response from the operator: Dear Frank, Buongiorno! Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly from the pick up to the tour itself, and that you enjoyed discovering Assisi with us! Great Italy Tour is always pleased to make its customers satisfied and we truly appreciate your helpful feedback. We hope to have you on your next trip in our country! Best Regards, Great Italy Tour team.

Assisi ... a breathtaking experience
It was the first tour we took during our stay in Rome. Beautiful tour which is worth doing. Alex our driver very professional and always punctual gave us info along the way. In Assisi we met our tour guide Maria Rita. She was amazing with loads of detailed info. This tour was not our first with Great Italy. They never disappoint. We thank Maurizio, Alessio, Olena and each member of the team who take great care in finalizing each detail of the programme.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Assisi and s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Assisi and s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome?
+
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 s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Assisi and s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Assisi and s. Francis Basilica’s Day Tour from Rome 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 Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing 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.
