The historic Italian city of Pesaro packs several excellent tour options into its compact center and surrounding countryside. My favorite walking tour takes just two hours but hits all the Renaissance highlights while keeping groups small and intimate. The Rafaello Sanzio regional excursion smartly combines art, scenery, and local flavors in one well-organized outing. Active travelers will love the e-bike adventure through Gola del Furlo – the truffle tasting at the end makes those uphill sections worth it. For food and wine enthusiasts, both Fattoria Paradiso and Tenuta la Viola offer authentic tastings that go beyond the typical tourist experience. Let’s explore the best tours Pesaro has to offer.
