Private Walking Tour of Ascoli Piceno

Come and discover Ascoli Piceno, one of Italy’s most elegant historic cities, built almost entirely from white travertine stone, which gives the city its distinctive colour and timeless glow. Historically known as the “City of a Hundred Towers”, Ascoli Piceno lies in the southern Marche region, in a strategic position between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine national parks that surround it.

Through its squares, monuments and ancient stones, this private tour takes you on a journey through the history of Ascoli Piceno: from the ancient Piceni people and the Roman period to the Middle Ages, the city’s most prosperous era. We will discover the history of the people of Ascoli who for centuries guarded the border between the Papal States and the Kingdoms of Southern Italy, while meeting bishops-lords, Captains of the People and important local figures such as Cecco d’Ascoli.

The tour is fully customizable according to your interests. Are you more interested in Roman history or the Middle Ages? Would you rather focus on the city’s most important monuments and squares, or get off the beaten path and explore its narrow streets and hidden corners? Let us know what interests you most and we will tailor the itinerary to you.
