What to expect
Expect a guided journey through Assisi's compact historic core, stopping at landmarks tied to St. Francis's life and his reformation of the Church. Your tuk-tuk winds through steep, narrow passages offering glimpses into how the town's layout and architecture reflect centuries of continuous habitation and spiritual devotion.

Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes despite the tuk-tuk transport—you'll still navigate cobbled streets on foot. The tuk-tuk handles Assisi's steep gradients and tight passages efficiently. Entrance fees to key sites are covered; bring water. Best visited in cooler months if possible, as summer heat can be intense in this hilltop location.
