Wonderful guide, ok itinerary

Chiara was a wonderful guide! I do wish we had more time in Assisi though and could have skipped Perugia.

Great tour guide, not the best bus experience

Our day trip to Assisi and Perugia was beautiful, and our tour guide, Lucia, made the experience even more memorable. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and organized. Throughout the day, she gave clear directions, shared fascinating information about each destination, and made everyone feel welcome. She truly went above and beyond, and I am so grateful for the wonderful experience she provided. Unfortunately, my experience with the bus driver, Maussimo, was very disappointing (GIOTTO BUS). During our first restroom stop, I was sitting on the bus waiting for my family. I was sitting sideways with my legs crossed and my feet slightly lifted—they were not touching the seat. The driver came onto the bus, rushed toward me, struck the seat with his hand, and began yelling at me, saying that he was the one who cleaned the bus and that I needed to keep my feet down. I immediately apologized and said, "Oh, sorry," but he responded by saying, "No sorry," while continuing to raise his voice before walking away. I completely understand and respect wanting passengers to help keep the bus clean. If my position gave the impression that I might dirty the seat, a polite request would have been more than enough. There was no reason to be spoken to in such a disrespectful and intimidating manner. Despite this unfortunate interaction, Lucia's professionalism, warmth, and passion for her work made the tour worthwhile. She deserves recognition for the exceptional job she does, and I sincerely thank her for making the day so enjoyable.

Happy tourist

Lucia was very pleasant and informative. Despite the 100 degree weather she was excellent. Mosimo the bus driver was awesome too.
