The experience

How does leather actually become a wallet or a bag? You meet your guide at Porta Nuova and walk through Assisi's main street, where stone walls and working artisans sit side by side. The guide shares what it's like to live in a real medieval town, then leads you to one of the last handcrafted leather shops still operating in town. The owner welcomes you into the workshop, and you see the whole process (from choosing the cut to finishing a piece), and understand why each item is one-of-a-kind.

The 3-hour tour starts at 9:30 am and ends by 12:30 pm, so it fits easily into a morning before lunch or other plans. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian, and children from age 3 are welcome. The group stays small, no more than 10 people, so there's room to ask questions and linger at the shop without feeling rushed.

What’s included

• Guided walk through Assisi's medieval center with a licensed local guide.
