3.00The tour guide seemed to be overly invested in showing us the details of the two major cathedrals in Padova and little else. She had sent me a lit of the sites we'd see but besides the fountain circle with statuary (30 mins there) we spent all the rest of the tour in the two churches. We both told her we weren't religious and knew nothing about the Catholic faith but it seemed that was all she was interested in. The two churches were great but we'd like to have seen more of Padova. Maybe a different guide has more experience. She had never been anywhere but Padova (not even Vicenza, (a 5 Euro ride away) which lessens her understanding of the kind of people who might take this tour.
A great introduction to Padua

5.00This was a great tour! Our guide, Fawad, was perfect for us. He inquired beforehand about our interests and adapted the tour to include those along with other highlights of the city. He is very knowledgeable and easy-going, and even helped us with restaurant (and gelato) recommendations afterward. Highly recommended.
Sevgi has got it down.

5.00Very nice walk through Padua with the opportunity to see all the important points of the city. Two churches were also visited. Our guide Eesha was very informative and friendly, explained everything to us, and was available for additional tips even after the tour.
A great day and guide to experience a most interesting city

5.00This was the perfect orientation day tour of Padova with Eesha, our wonderful guide. Spending the day with Eesha was like visiting a trusted friend in their home city for the first time. Eesha is professional, friendly, fun, and very informative. She knows the best ways to get everywhere and suggested additional points of interest for us to visit on our own. She is in command of the most interesting information but does not come across as one of those boring tour guides that just recite a list of facts and dates. It was a great day.
Very enjoyable walk

5.00Very laid back tour where our guide Ahmed provided a pleasant, informative and exploring walking experience of the important, historical and salient points of the city of Padua. Ahmed took us not only to the key sights but beautiful spots to relax and take some small breaks of this 3+ hour walking tour. Very pleased of the experience and provided us the motivation to come back again.
