Sahib was an excellent tour guide. Communication was great and was able to meet up easily. The walk tour covered many historical and spiritual sites. His knowledge in history and literature was amazing. Great experience and recommend to anyone looking for a good tour

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Sahib made your tour so enjoyable with his excellent communication and impressive knowledge of history and literature. It’s great to know you enjoyed discovering the city’s historical and spiritual sites. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
My tour guide NEVER SHOWED UP. I spent nearly an hour texting with Viator with no success. This was part of a trip to Italy that was booked months ago. The next day, I received this response from Viator: “ After a thorough review, we regret to inform you that we’re unable to issue a refund for this booking, as the operator has not approved it.”. So, the “operator” who failed to show up is in charge of determining if I get a refund? Viator- I thought you were a better company than that.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
I’d keep the response factual and calm, without directly accusing the customer. Since the guide **did attend the meeting point and contacted the customer by email**, you can clarify that the booking was treated as a customer no-show.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration caused. We would like to clarify that our guide did arrive at the agreed meeting point and also contacted you by email, but unfortunately received no response. Based on the information available to us, the tour could not proceed because we were unable to connect with you. We understand how disappointing this situation must have been and sincerely regret the inconvenience caused.
Midya was great, super thorough with the experience living in Padua and going through various points of interest. Glad I booked it as it gave me a great overview of the city.

Se gi was a wonderful and enthusiastic guide full of interesting information. What a beautiful and historic city! Highly recommend this walking tour, it’s just the right length and she gave us plenty of suggestions of places to further explore. A perfect day trip from Venice.

Eesha was so knowledgeable and customized our one hour tour based on our interests. We learned so much about Padua which helped us enjoy the rest of our stay
The 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.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry the experience did not fully align with your expectations and that the tour content felt too narrowly focused. We understand the importance of balancing historical insight with broader exploration of the city. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve future experiences.
This 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.
We met our guide at the agreed time and for the next three hours enjoyed an exceptionally informative tour. Our guide met all our expectations for this tour and was an extremely pleasant and knowable young lady. We would recommend this tour and guide to anyone wishing to take the tour.
This 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.
Midya was well informed about the history of Padova and about art history too. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour walk.

Very 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.

Our Walking Tour in Padova was a great experience. Padova is a real hidden gem. Our guide Sevgi brought the thousands of years of history to life. The basilica of St. Anthony is spectacular. The inside in particular is the most beautiful of any basilica that I have seen. I encourage everyone to put Padova on your vacation list and add this tour to your must do list.

Eesha was super knowledgeable as she walked us around Padua, including lors of little details about the 2 churches we visited. She clearly loves the town and we enjoyed the afternoon!
Eesha was so fun and knowledgeable about Padova it was very easy to spend a couple of hours wandering the city with her. She was prompt and responsive and gave some excellent tips for food and gelato during my stay in Padova. I’m sure if you book Eesha you will be pleased with your tour also.
We had a wonderful time exploring Padova with Sevgi!
She guided us around the city effortlessly hitting all the highlights and hidden gems we otherwise would have missed.
She took her time to explain what we were seeing including all the history and little known facts about the city.
We also got some much appreciated tips on more places to see.
Her suggestions for breakfast, gelato and aperitivo all were excellent.
We could not have asked for a better experience and it was truly a pleasure spending time with such a warm and welcoming person!
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide with extra tips regarding pubs, etc.
We could have added a few more hours to our time.
