Hi! My name is Elisabetta and I am a licensed Tour Guide of the Umbria Region both in English and Spanish. I was born in Perugia and have always lived here (from generations). This is why I know every single corner of my region, even the most hidden ones! I also had a chance to live in the States and UK as a child and that's how I learnt my English and how I fell in love with American and English culture!! My idea of traveling aims to authentic and unique experiences, that's why I love to share with whoever comes visiting the real spirit of my Region based on the pleasure of little things that seem to have been lost in memory, the pleasure that arises from the slow pace of Umbrian life habits, still hanging on to the thin thread of the past, from the richness of its cousine, wine and olive oil production and from the beauty of its millenary history and fascinating art. I offer both half day, full day and multiple days tours in the most classical cities in the region, such as Perugia, Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto, as well as tours to the hidden gems located off the most beaten tracks. In case you don't have your car or, simply, don't feel like driving, don't hesitate to ask because I can provide tours with private driver and car (up to mini vans with 8 seats). Of course, I'll be very pleased to customize your tours according to your requests, sorting out together some very special and unforgettable itineraries around Umbria. My motto is: "The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it. " - Ralph Waldo Emerson I look forward to welcoming you to Umbria !!! - licensed an Official Guide of the Umbria Region passing a National Exam, both written and oral; - Master and Bachelor degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures; - PhD in Art and Culture of Italy during the Age of the Grand Tour; - licensed by National Exam a Professor of English language and English literature in Secondary and High School; I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Assisi tour

Discover the millenary history of Assisi from the golden Roman past of Assisi to the jewels of the Medieval architectures. This tour will lead you to find out the unknown face of the little Umbrian town in search of unique masterpieces of art and the untouched traces left by the Romans. Our walk through the old town will take you to uncover the traces of the old Roman amphitheater to the main square with its outstanding Roman Temple of Minerva, dating back to the 1st century b. c. and traces of the old forum area. We will then continue through the Medieval alleys to the Basilica of St. Francis, built in 1228 to house the remains of the founder of the Franciscan order, enriched during the centuries by the masterpieces of medieval and renaissance masters, such as Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini and the Lorenzetti brothers.

Elizabetta was outstanding. We now feel like St Francis and St Clair were our special friends because she had so much detail. Especially by showing us his birthplace, childhood home and statutes of his parents. Her stories made Assisi come alive back in the day. Super great guide and very helpful.

Elisabetta was wonderful! Her communication was the best. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I had a few elderly women in my group, and she was patient and always made sure they could keep up. I can’t wait to use her services again!

Wonderful tour. We didn't have a lot of time in Assisi but Elisabetta gave us a great overview. He knowledge of Art History was instrumental in bringing to life all of the frescos in he main basilica. She knows the city well. It was a great day.

See our posting on the tour of Perugia for Elisabetta. More than a 5 star time. Elisabetta was able to show us parts of Assisi we never would have seen on our own or with a larger tour. More than that, she provided a deep understanding of the art, culture, history and people of Assisi. Touring with Elisabetta is like touring with a good friend who helped show us the heart and soul of Assisi and Umbria.
