Excellent recommendation

Excellent experience on our tour to Assisi. The guide, Lucia, was very kind and always willing to answer our questions. In addition, we want to highlight the driver, Nicola, who was very professional and respectful of traffic regulations throughout the entire trip, which made us feel very safe. A totally recommendable experience for those who want to take a tour of this nature!

Assisi and Perugia - Superb!

From start to finish the whole experience was amazing. A small group which lets you enjoy the experience and makes it more personal. Daisy, our guide, was outstanding with her knowledge of Perugia, Assisi and also gave little interesting facts along the way whilst on the bus. She took great care of us and made everyone feel relaxed and welcomed. Nicola was our amazing friendly driver who even went the extra miles by parking closer at one point to avoid us walking in the rain. Worth the cost.

Perugia & Assisi are a must

Amazing tour with Daisy and Sandra as guides and Nicola as our driver. Guides were very knowledgeable of all the history in the region and Nicola ensure a safe transport to and from Florence. Both Perugia and Assisi are magical towns. Understand there is a lot of travel time so you will not get a lot of free time at each location (approximately 3hrs each) but well worth it as an introductory trip to these iconic locations.
