The Marches Explored: from Urbino to Ascoli Piceno

A week in the beautiful Marches region of Italy. Three nights in Urbino and three in Ascoli Piceno. Well chosen hotels and all practicalities very well organised. Travelling around each base to places of interest in the company of an exceptionally good lecturer on the art and history of the region. A small group and a very pleasant atmosphere created by those in charge, Tom Duncan and his assistant James Hill.

Ciceroni is run by art historian Tom Duncan. He accompanied us on our visit and told us about the history and art of each place as we visited. As someone who has avoided group holidays when possible, I found the experience very pleasant and most informative, seeing and learning more than I would have done as an independent traveller.

Lesser known treasures of Italy

Tom Duncan is an excellent tour leader with a fund of knowledge which he imparts in an intelligible and often amusing way. James Hill ensured that everything ran smoothly and we could not have been in better hands.

Tom Duncan is an excellent tour leader with a fund of knowledge which he imparts in an intelligible and often amusing way. James Hill ensured that everything ran smoothly and we could not have been in better hands. The area of Italy which we visited was delightfully off the main tourist routes and yet full of wonderful art and history. The two hotels we stayed in were very comfortable and added to the atmosphere of the tour and the small group of people were pleasant and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this area of Urbino to Ascoli Piceno to any lover of Medieval and Renaissance art and history. As a 'lollipop' we were treated to a visit to the Villa d'Este on our way back to Rome airport which finished our tour with the beautiful water gardens.

This was my second tour with Tom Duncan and for knowledge of his subject I doubt if he could be surpassed. He and James Hill make a good pair and I should be happy to travel with them again.

An experience of a lifetime!

Everything from the initial preparation to the execution of the trip left little to be desired. Each individual was made to feel important and cherished.

There was tremendous attention to detail and no proverbial stone was left unturned.

The Marches Explored. Urbino and Ascoli Picena

We were away from 22nd to 28th of May 2016. As usual Tom Duncan and James Hill had organized a carefully thought out trip. One cannot go wrong with Ciceroni
