Top Ascoli Piceno Walking Tours

Get off the typical tourist trail, and visit a travertine rock quarry, during your stay in scenic Ascoli Piceno. A number of Italy’s famous landmarks are constructed from the stone, and travertine buildings can be seen all over the city center. Begin this morning tour at the Frazione Rosara quarry, where your guide—the quarry owner—will share information about its history. Then, you’ll be given chisels and other tools and can try your hand at sculpting the stone.

If you are looking for a "short" weekend or you are passing through the Marche region, this is the package for you. 1 night in a 4-star hotel, with a welcome drink at the historic Caffè Meletti and a dinner in a typical local trattoria with menus based on traditional products, including the famous Ascoli olives. The ideal offer for those who want to unplug for 48 hours and enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, nestled between the Sibillini Mountains and the Adriatic Sea.

I'm a food lover by nature and also a native of Abruzzo. I'm an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region. I’ve been eating truffles since my mother had me in her womb, and since we live in a rich truffle area, I know the art and secrets of truffles very well. When I was 7 I trained my first truffle dog. I'm the founder of Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my friend Alberto, we do together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and passion for Abruzzo. 1 of the 5* reviews "My mother and I enjoyed the Truffle Hunt Tour and Meal and it exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
