Summary: 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!

Summary: I had an amazing tour of the Ducal Palace with Cecy, who drove especially from Rome. Her in-depth knowledge (learned at the University of Urbino) of art history was fantastic to add to my own prior knowledge, and she was able to point out details and explain extraordinary little things that would have gone unnoticed alone. She was also extremely personable, and very helpful in going out of her way to help arrange transportation for me early the next morning. Since she is native to the area, her knowledge on all things Urbino is extraordinary, and I would highly recommend booking a tour with her. Thanks again Cecy, and maybe see you soon :).
