For longer private route planning
Assisi Cascia private tour, Basilica of St. Francis and St. Rita
Best for: Travelers who want a private full-day transfer from Rome with a broader Assisi-and-Cascia pilgrimage route
This is the most expansive of the three options. It begins with private minivan transport from Rome and continues through Assisi before moving on to Roccaporena and Cascia, so the day is built around visiting multiple sacred places rather than staying in one town. Confirmed inclusions cover transport, driver service, WiFi on board, and several admissions in Assisi and Cascia. Lunch is not included, and gratuities are excluded. The listed private option also notes wheelchair accessibility and a two-hour private guided tour of Assisi, which makes it a strong fit for travelers who want a structured private day with a deeper route.
Assisi, then Cascia on a longer private day
- Private minivan transport is included from Rome and back.
- Covers Assisi, Roccaporena, and Cascia in one itinerary.
- Includes several church and basilica admissions.
For a shorter Assisi-only experience
Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi – Private Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a compact, guided look at the Basilica of Saint Francis without a full-day excursion
This option is the simplest and most concentrated of the three. It stays focused on the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi and is designed for travelers who want a private guided introduction rather than a wider day trip. Confirmed inclusions cover entrance to the church, a private guided tour, and earphones if needed. Because the experience is centered on one site, it suits visitors who prefer a shorter schedule and a clear interpretive focus. Gratuities are excluded. If you want to combine Assisi with other places, this is not the route for that; if you want an efficient, private basilica visit, it fits that goal well.
A concise private basilica visit in Assisi
- Shortest time commitment of the three options.
- Private guided tour and entrance to the church are included.
- Keeps the visit centered on one major Assisi landmark.
For a fully arranged day trip
Assisi & Cascia Private Tour from Rome with Lunch
Best for: Travelers who want a longer private excursion with lunch included and a clearer guided structure in Assisi
This tour is built for travelers who want a complete private day with more structure and fewer separate arrangements. It starts and ends in Rome, uses luxury transportation with a private chauffeur, and includes lunch, which sets it apart from the other two options. The itinerary combines Assisi and Cascia, with confirmed admissions in Assisi and at the Monastery of Santa Rita in Cascia. It also includes a private tour leader and a professional tour guide in Assisi, though the guide note changes on Sundays. This is a practical choice if you want a wider route, a meal included, and a guided format that feels organized from start to finish.
A private Rome departure with lunch and two destinations
- Lunch is included in the experience.
- Includes private chauffeur transport with pick-up and drop-off.
- Adds guided time in Assisi plus Cascia admissions.
Choosing the right Assisi itinerary style
If you want the deepest route, choose the Assisi-and-Cascia day trip with the most stops. If you prefer a simpler schedule, the basilica-only tour keeps the focus narrow, while the lunch-included Rome departure works well when you want a more complete private day with meals and transport arranged.
Rome to Assisi, Roccaporena, and Cascia
A full-day private transfer with multiple religious stops and time built around the road journey.
Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi
A focused private visit built around one major religious and art landmark in Assisi.
Rome, Assisi, and Cascia with lunch
A longer private excursion that combines transport, guided visits, and a meal in one organized day.
