It is a must-see in Padua. Giotto's frescoes are simply stunning. Do not miss it if you visit Padua.
This was a lovely tour and a nice introduction to the history of Padua and its role in western science, art and history. And the Scrovegni Chapel is beautiful!
Our tour guide Deborah was outstanding. The meeting point instructions through TripAdvisor were incorrect. Because of this confusion, the tour started late and tour of Padua did not occur.
Impressive tour with the chapel as the highlight and a wonderful guide with whom we truly experienced the paintings of the chapel.
Angelica (sp?) was very knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. An enjoyable 2 hours despite one guy being on his phone the whole time and bumping into people...seemed a bit overly expensive but it was worth it as the S. Chapel was fantastic. If you want a little walking tour of the area, some good information and guided commentary inside the Chapel, this is for you.
Informative walk along the main attractions in downtown Padua. Our guide was very friendly, very informed and very serious in her task – and yet she had humor and one or the other story away from the usual stories! We found this really great and informative. Highly recommended! Their guidance and interpretations in the Scrovegni Chapel were particularly exciting!
Interesting guide with lots of anectodes.
Our guide was passionate about her subject , knowledgeable and as a result brought it to life. Fascinating evening.
Too expensive for the service offered! The only ticket for a fee is the entrance to the chapel of the chests with mainly recorded audio explanation and a stop of only 15 minutes in front of the frescoes The rest was a walk downtown with the guide in a low voice and a few nods in front of university palace of reason town hall and historic cafe Total hours 2
Buonasera Giovanni questa recensione è dannosa e denigratoria. Il tour vale quei soldi perchè ci sono dei costi che lei nemmeno immagina. Ci vorrebe un po piu di intellignenza quando si fanno le recensioni visto che questo tour solo a lei non è piaicuto.
Visiting the chapel is an unparalleled experience. Unfortunately the guide was not sufficiently prepared and the tour of Padua was disappointing.
