The Basilica of Saint Clare is a church dedicated to and contains the remains of Saint Clare of Assisi, a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi and founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, known today as the Order of Saint Clare.

I highly recommend this tour with Alessandra. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about her city and she paced the tour perfectly for us - we included an 87yr old lady! She made every part so comfortable and problem free. We really enjoyed her company.

Our guided tour of Assisi was both informative and interesting, thanks to our professional guide, Alexandra. It was a beautiful and clear day allowing us the fabulous views of the Umbrian countryside. This is the tour to take!

A great tour with a fantastic guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Assisi as you will come away with a new perspective of this lovely town.

We met the wonderful Alessandra last week for a private tour of Assisi including the Basilica. We are a family of 5, with kids ages 8, 12, and 14. I'm an artist and this was not my first experience in Assisi, so Alessandra had her work cut out for her to engage my interests as well as the kids. She was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and fun to talk to. We learned so much and I left with a filled-in picture of the context for what we were seeing, and deeply inspired. We did 5 different tours in the last couple of weeks in two different countries, and Alessandra was our absolute favorite.

Our guide was perfect. He was a wealth of knowledge and ushered our group of 9 at the perfect pace. He was able to answer all of our questions and also provide tons of further recommendations in Assisi and beyond. Highly recommend!

We did the part-day walking tour of Assisi with Umbria con Me, and we were so fortunate to do it with Allessandra. She grew up in Assisi and is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about its history. But even more, she is very skillful at communicating that knowledge, reminding me of the very best art history instructors I saw at college. She was also very willing to talk off-script as we walked, recommending a place for lunch, discussing the working environment for a guide in Italy and the EU, and other much-appreciated digressions. If we are fortunate enough to get back to Umbria again (and we so want to!) we will definitely connect again with Davide and Umbria con Me and hope that all of his guides are as good a Allessandra!
