Planning a pilgrim or faith-group visit
The Basilica of St Francis has a dress code (covered shoulders and knees) and security checks, and mornings are the quietest. We recommend early arrivals for groups, a coach drop-off arranged in advance, and a clear meeting point for the return — the slope and cobblestones make the walk longer than the map suggests.
Which vehicle?
For pilgrim and parish groups we quote minibuses and coaches with a designated drop-off point; smaller parties travel comfortably in vans.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the Rome to Assisi transfer take?
About 2 hours 15 minutes without stops. Traffic, weather and time of day can add to that, so we plan the pick-up time with a buffer for connections.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Popular stops are Spello, Perugia, Santa Maria degli Angeli. We agree the stop time in advance so the rest of your schedule stays predictable, and price it separately from the direct transfer.
Where will the driver pick us up and drop us off?
Assisi's medieval centre is restricted; coaches and cars drop at designated points outside or at the edge of the walls, with a short uphill walk. Your voucher shows the exact meeting point and the drop-off point before you travel.

No — per vehicle. Tolls and parking are included in our fixed price; any city access fee or extra stop is shown as a separate line before you confirm.
