This unforgettable excursion will give you the chance to leave the beaten path and take an inside look at Francis' real way of life. He took Jesus' message of simplicity and non-materialism to heart and challenged the decadence of the Roman Church. It will be an authentic experience for those travelers who are not in a hurry and have time to listen to the silence.

  • Eremo delle Carceri, Assisi, Italy
    The Eremo is a peaceful, humble and solitary spot, nestled in the woods where Francis and his followers dwelled in caves as hermits. The stunning view of the green valley and the surrounding hills you can enjoy from the little cloister is just amazing!
    60 minutes
  • San Damiano, Assisi, Italy
    In this simple, silent and inspiring place Francis composed the Canticle of the Creatures, the famous Crucifix of Saint Damien asked Him to repair the Church which was falling into ruin and Saint Clare spent her spiritual life with her companions.
    60 minutes
  • Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, Santa Maria degli Angeli, Italy
    The huge Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, which was built around the tiny Porziuncola Chapel, is the place where Francis prayed with His Friars and died. This is also where the thorns dropped off the roses where Francis threw himself to fight a temptation.

The tour of the surrounding areas of Assisi - San Damiano, the hermitage and St. Maria degli Angeli - with Maura was the best excursion on our 8 day trip to Italy. Maura is not only knowledgeable around the history of St. Francis and the history of the Franciscan order but was born and raised in the region so has local knowledge of the area if you are interested. Her English is impeccable! Maura is truly a delight and a kind soul. Being in her presence was such a gift!

In our first visit to Assisi, my wife and I hired Maura Baldoni to give us a private tour of “Surroundings of Assisi: in the Footsteps of Saint Francis” which included Santa Maria degli Angeli Basilica, San Damiano Church and Eremo delle Carceri. I had read quite a bit about St. Francis before the trip, but still, I learned a lot from Maura. Her story gave us a deeper understanding of the role these (beautiful) places played in the lives of St. Francis and St. Claire. We also learned about Maura, her family, and the Italian culture. The tour started at 9 AM and ended at noon just like she had described. Maura speaks English fluently and we had no problem understanding her. Since we didn’t have a car, she negotiated the taxis for us. If there’s any regret, it is that we forgot to take pictures at San Damiano ????Otherwise, we enjoyed the tour and would gladly recommend it to others! PS: I found Maura through internet search, and I contacted her by email two months before our trip. I loved her answer when I asked her about the cancellation policy: “There’s no cancellation policy. I trust that you will come.” So simple ????

Maura was an excellent guide. She was well prepared, punctual and very attentive to all our requests and questions. Her knowledge of St. Francis and Assisi is extensive. We are thankful she shared so much of it with us.
