My mother and I went on the Assisi and Cortona day trip on our vacation to Italy and had a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Giulio, was very attentive, informative, and professional, and helped make the tour a wonderful experience. Cortona was lovely and we had ample time to explore the town. I absolutely loved Assisi and the tour of the town and the Basilicas was fantastic. My one constructive feedback would be to maybe let folks know ahead of time about the strict dress codes in some of the churches regarding exposed arms. The Catholic churches in the USA do not have a dress code so we were caught off guard a bit by that.
