The 5 Best Walking Tours in Urbino, Marche
Urbino (Italian: [urˈbiːno]; listen (help·info)) is a walled city in the Marche region of Italy, south-west of Pesaro, a World Heritage Site notable for a remarkable historical legacy of independent Renaissance culture, especially under the patronage of Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino from 1444 to 1482. The town, nestled on a high sloping hillside, retains much of its picturesque medieval aspect. It hosts the University of Urbino, founded in 1506, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Urbino. Its best-known architectural piece is the Palazzo Ducale, rebuilt by Luciano Laurana.

Spending the day with Annarita was absolutely incredible. Her knowledge of and passion for this magnificent part of history is unmatched. We were having such a great time connecting with her that our time went by so quickly. We’ll be requesting her for future tours in the area, for sure. We’ll also be returning to the palace now that we have a better understanding of its history. Treat yourself to this very special experience!

A fascinating look at ancient Rome and the Jewish Ghetto. Cecilia's tour illuminated parts of the city I had never seen before, with informed anecdotes and very interesting history. She is knowledgeable and friendly, and speaks English well. I can't recommend her enough - a definite highlight of any visit in Rome.

We stayed in the Agriturismo Terracruda for one week with a group of friends with kids and the experience was incredible. They have 4 complete apartments very well decorated and on top there is a common kitchen and a wonderful garden with a pool. When you are outside you see the wine yards and the mountains. As the Agriturismo is inside the winery we also did some wine tastings and visited to the wine cellar and yards as they were running a special event in that week. It was spectacular and we really appreciated their wines as well, specially the sparkling and the white ones. We were treated warmly and the owner Luca did above and beyond to prompt respond our requests. What could be improved is the disposition of the common kitchen and the air conditioner that is not strong enough to serve all the rooms as the apartments are quite big. Anyway, we loved the experience and certainly we will try to come back!
