Soak up Orvieto’s charms and admire the countless churches that are scattered around its center.

Great trip, with a really well informed guide. She managed to switch between three languages (4 if you count Italian) without making it frustrating for the group. Some great locations, but you’ll be wishing you had more time in Assisi. Lunch is mediocre, but it’s to not have to worry about planning it.

Two part's to this review. The great and the ugly. The guide Cristina was awesome. Great energy and very courteous. Guided and kept a good pace, while giving plenty of free time. Was patient with slower member of group and made everyone feel great. Our tour in Assissi was led by another guide. This one was rushed and gave no free time. We did not get the option of visiting Santa Maria Maggiore in Assissi, Carlos Acutis incorruptible body is kept.

The tour is a very nice and organized from green line tours. Cristina our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable as well as Mary our guide in Assisi Giovanni our driver was very good and careful even on the narrowest and bumpiest road which I appreciate very much being I get car sick very easily. Very comfortable bus ride Orvieto and St Francis highly recommended especially with this tour people . We had a great time .
