We felt safe and comfortable and enjoyed talking with him. He gave us tips on what to see and where to eat in Assisi and they were very helpful. The gelato we had in Assisi was our favorite of the whole trip and that is saying something because we ate a lot of good gelato everywhere we went. Don't miss the castle! It's at the top but SO worth it!”
