What you'll see and do
Driverinrome Tours and Transportation
During this Day tour excursion from Rome you will have the chance to travel to real Italy, far away from the modern highways and large cities, in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, where small ancient villages are waiting to be discovered. One of them is Assisi, an oasis of art, architecture and spirituality and the home of Saint Francis, one of Italy's most beloved saints.
Pass by without stopping
Basilica di Santa Chiara
.Leaving Rome in a northerly direction, you will cross the valley of the Tevere, passing by typical medieval villages such as Deruta, Todi e Perugia before arriving in Assisi. Here you will start your walk through the narrow streets of the village to see the church of Santa Chiara, containing the remains of Saint Clare, a follower of Saint Francis and founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, and then on to see the house where St. Francis was born and spent the first years of his life.
30 minutes here
Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi
All roads will take you to the Basilica of San Francesco. This grandiose and gorgeously embellished Basilica is a rather incongruous memorial to a man who preached and lived a simple life of poverty, abstinence, and renunciation of worldly goods in search of greater spirituality. It is however, one of the world's most wonderful encounters between religion and art. Unique paintings by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini and Giotto, have made the Basilica of St. Francis a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture.

Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli
Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli where you can see the Porziuncola Chapel, the place from where the Franciscan movement started, and the site where St. Francis died in 1226. Driving back to your hotel, revel in the memory of the day coming to its end.

Unprofessional Driver long uneventful trip
Do not recommend this trip. The driver arrived late, unprofessional and fell asleep consistently on the way home. He was a nice guy and drove us to top of the place to make walk better but overall the trip was not informative nor professional. Assisi was nice but we didn’t learn anything at all. I would not recommend this trip with this company.

Great Tours with an Amazing Driver!
We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! We took two tours — one to Assisi and another to Pienza and Montepulciano as well as an airport transfer, and we were so lucky to have Costinel as our driver throughout. Costinel was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and a real pleasure to spend time with. He made everything feel easy and comfortable, shared great recommendations along the way, and never made us feel rushed. He truly helped make the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. I can’t recommend this company highly enough and especially Costinel. He was exceptional!!

We’re very proud to have him on our team, and it means a lot to hear that he helped make your journey comfortable and stress-free from start to finish. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. It was a pleasure assisting you during your trip to Italy, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Memorable & Inspiring
Visiting Assisi in general was very enjoyable. We knew that each of the sites represents will tell a special moment in history for catholic in christian faith. Being there was a blessing!! In addition, Fabio, our tour guide, was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable of the region of Umbria. As we were passing through the various towns, he was sure to explain the details about each one of them. Most of all, Fabio was very accomodated and sensitive person, especially with our nephew who is handicapped. Finally, having lunch at the restaurant that Fabio recommended was unforgettable! Truly Italian pasta, lamb, and more. Thank you Fabio!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful feedback! We are truly delighted to hear that your visit to Assisi was such a meaningful and memorable experience. It’s wonderful to know that the historical and spiritual significance of the sites left a special impact on your journey. We’re especially glad to hear your kind words about Fabio. He will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, care, and sensitivity—especially toward your nephew—made your day even more special. Providing a comfortable and enriching experience for every guest is something we deeply value. We’re also happy that you enjoyed the restaurant he recommended. Authentic Italian food is always a treat, and we’re glad it added to the unforgettable moments of your trip. Thank you once again for choosing DriverinRome. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Assisi One Day Trip Private Excursion from Rome: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Assisi One Day Trip Private Excursion from Rome cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion from Rome worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion from Rome?
+
Around 17 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 One Day Trip Private Excursion 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.
