The best way to understand the Scrovegni Chapel

This is the best way to see the Scrovegni chapel. Our tour guide Angela helped us see and understand so much more than we would have on our own. Nice walking tour with additional sites in the area.

And Giotto’s frescoes with the extensive use of the blue pigment were and incredible ending to a fabulous tour!!!! This is NOT TO BE MISSED when visiting this beautiful city!!!!

Charlotte_J, Aug 2026

Great tour, great Guide!

Giovanni was a terrific, knowledgeable, and kind Guide! We took a private tour and he catered it to our interest. I highly recommend the tour and Giovanni!

Stephanie_S, Oct 2025

Great experience, worth the money

Valérie was clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the art. She also brought her knowledge to her discussion of the history of Padua, which was new to me. I’d recommend two improvements: Make it clear we only have 15 minutes in the space, meaning only 15 minutes to take photos. And if you don’t understand what I’m asking, ask me to repeat. Don’t be shy! I’m pretty sure Jesus wasn’t. Don’t hide your light under a bushel.
