Things to do in Assisi, Umbria: The Best Day Trips from
Best known as the birthplace of St. Francis, Italy's patron saint, Assisi lies amid Umbria's rolling hills. Religious pilgrims have come here for centuries to visit the Basilica of San Francesco (where St. Francis is buried) and the Basilica of Santa Chiara (to see the tomb of St. Clare). Visit the Eremo delle Carceri to see caves where medieval hermits withdrew from the world. (You may find such solitude quite appealing—especially if you're here on a daytrip from Rome!)

We were told Stefano tours were first class in providing a private look at Rome. Our guide Vinnie and Vatican guide Luiza were first rate. We were picked up at our hotel promptly and went right away to St .Peter's and Trevi fontain to avoid the tourist crowds. The rest of the day was a trip to the popular sights and included a trip to the Catacombs as we did the Colosseum the day before. Vinnie took us to a wonderful lunch spot. Our Vatican tour focused in its highlights and Luizangave us a great history lesson along the way. And the company was easy to communicate with via email all of the time. Highly recommend Stefano!

Assisi represents an ensemble of masterpieces of human creative genius such as the Basilica of St. Francis, a fundamental reference for art history in the world. The diffusion of the artistic and spiritual message of the Franciscan Order has significantly contributed to the development of art and architecture in the world. The Basilica of St. Francis is an outstanding example of a type of architectural ensemble that has significantly influenced the development of art and architecture itself. Cascia is home to Saint Rita of Cascia, one of Catholicism's most revered saints, often referred to as the "Saint of the Impossible". Cascia is also the place where a Eucharistic Miracle is preserved. It is therefore high on the list for many Catholic pilgrims. Saint Rita of Cascia is often called "the saint of the impossible". St. Rita's story is one of the power of prayer and of faith.

We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent, thorough, and wonderful are just a few words to describe our great day with our guide,Livio. Since all four of us had been to Rome before, we really wanted to see some different sites. As we drove to Rome we planned our day with Livio suggesting that we first visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, since he knew that there was a 9am tour in English. This site is full of history, archaeology and faith. It truly was a highlight of our day. We then drove to a section of the original Apian Way. Our morning included visits to Circus Maximus, an overlook of the city where you can see the seven hills of Rome, The Keyhole Door, the ruins of the Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. We drove past several historical sites including The Wedding Cake. After a wonderful, delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we headed to Vatican City for the afternoon. There we were guided by a very knowledgeable guide, Rosanna. We spent over two hours visiting the Vatican Museum, the Sisten Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. A day tour with Livio and his company is truly the only way to see and appreciate this ancient city. If we could we would give Livio ********** for this great tour. Thanks Livio for providing all of us with a wonderful day and some great memories!!

Gilberto and Max of Discovery Tours provided the day trip of a lifetime to Anzio where I followed in my father's footsteps to see where he served his country in World War 2. Discovery Tours handled all the logistics, trip planning and detailed information on the battle sites and Anzio campaign with consummate professionalism. I learned much and thanks to Gilberto and Max, have a much deeper and personal understanding of the challenges my father and all other servicemen and women faced during this critical time in history. I enthusiastically recommend Discovery Tours to enrich your travel experience in the wonderful country of Italy.
