Urbino did not disappoint - Urbino has been on our list of places to visit in Italy for many years. When we finally made it, it did not disappoint. We had the added benefit of a delightful and well-informed guide to the Ducal Palace and the Oratorio di San Giovanni, Cecilia Sanchini, who we are happy to recommend also.

A wonderfully preserved building - An impressive building, full of history and art. Guide was very informative and inside was more the you expected with artworks and masonry. You can learn a lot about Renaissance history and the Montefeltro family.

Stunning - A ,must. The state rooms are stunning and fascinating- The underground are all the same. We had a private tour and the tour guide was very informative and kind. If you if you can go there during high season purchase skip the line tickets online.

A true must! - This tour was outstanding. The palazzo is a true treasure. Our guide was amazing. He had near infinite knowledge of all things art, architecture and history- both of Urbino and beyond, and presented it in a way that was accessible and fun. He also gave us a ton of suggestions for other things to see and do in Urbino and beyond. Urbino is bit off the usual tourist path, but a must see for lovers of art, history and culture and this tour is a great way to do it!

Above and beyond! - I had an amazing tour with Cecy. This town and the ducal palace has been a dream of mine to visit for over a decade, and I was so fortunate to come across a guide not only educated in art history, but received her degree in Urbino! Her range of knowledge was excellent, and it was a joy to go on a tour with someone as excited and like-minded about love of art, history, and humanism as myself. In addition, I had a difficult travel day starting very early the following morning and could not find a taxi to accommodate me, so Cecy went out of her way to find me transportation when I would have otherwise been very stuck. I would highly recommend this and any tour with her, and I hope to one day meet again!
