Ancona Private Tours |
|
The seaside town of Ancona, Italy is not on many travelers' radars. A port town for many centuries, Ancona is used to watching people come and go. But stay for a few hours, take the time to explore with a friendly local guide and you'll gain a wonderful understanding and appreciate for the city's fascinating history.
Your private Ancona tour will take you for a stroll up Monte Guasco, where the buildings in the oldest part of town straddle a hill overlooking the sea. At the peak you'll find the grand Cattedrale di San Ciriaco. Its Byzantine, Gothic and Romanesque features create a striking tableau against the backdrop of sea and sky. On your way down, be sure to visit the Arco di Traiano, a remarkable first century BC Roman arch dedicated to the Emperor Trajan.
Your guide is happy to customize a private Ancona tour that reflects your unique travel interests in this Italian port town, and to show you hidden gems you might otherwise overlook. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Italy requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the area in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural features. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each foreign language they applied for with oral and written tests. report error
