Things to do Discover Historic Padua on Foot

“Lovely tour and shights”

Luisa was an excellent tour guide, making us feel very comfortable and took the time to carefully explain the history, making us love this city even more! We even went into some places that were free (like churches) which some guides don’t actually do, such a positive experience!

“A Must Do”

Luisa was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and, unlike many others, when she did not know something she was very transparent about it rather than giving a vague and unhelpful answer. This arose only when asking a question too specific for any normal person to be interested in and otherwise the content of the tour was very thorough and a perfect reflection of her deep and personal knowledge of land experience of the city.

“Perfet Introduction to the History of Padua”

Luisa has set the bar very high for other tour guides! She not only had extensive knowledge of the history of Padua and the Veneto area though the ages, but as a local who had attended Padua Univesrity herself, she added wonderful anecdotes and legends which made the history come alive. She also gave us a fascinating insight into the artists and art commissions in the city over many centuries. Luisa was so warm and friendly and ananswered all our questions. The morning was great fun as well as informative. Thank you so much Luisa for sharing your city with us!
