Definitely worth the time!

Manuela is a wealth of information. She shares so much background information so you can see Ferrera in perspective to its long history. Enjoyed her antidotes and appreciation for different historical and architectural styles. Plan an extra 30 minutes so you don’t feel rushed for whatever your next activity might be. Time well spent if you came to learn about Ferrera and her culture!

Great local guide presents this historical gem

Thorough history of Ferrara. Manuela was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city in general, as well as its customs and foods. We especially enjoyed the through and respectful history of the Jewish ghetto.

Lovely

Ferrara Surpreendente

Quero agradecer a guia Manuela por tornar este passeio exuberante, por dar vida às belas construções bem conservadas de Ferrara. A cidade é pequena e muito agradável. É incrível a extensão da muralha que a cerca. Creio ser uma das maiores na Europa. O Centro histórico dividido entre gótico-medieval e renascentista, deixa muito claro os dois estilos. Vale fazer um passeio sem pressa e desfrutar de restaurantes, pastisseries e bares.
