Our Ferrara tour?? Where do you we even begin?? If you’re going to Italy and Ferrara is not on your list of places to visit, you are making a huge mistake! More importantly, if you’re not taking this tour, you’re making an even bigger mistake!! Our tour guide Margherita was beyond phenomenal!! She showed us so many interesting things, spent more time with us than we even expected , and answered every question we had. Before we were halfway done, we were ready to move to Ferrara! Thank you, thank you, thank you for offering this amazing tour and employing such a wonderful ambassador for this city! We look forward booking excursions with your company in the future!

We had a wonderful 3 hour private walking tour of Ferrara with Marta. Her knowledge of the history of the city was impressive and vital to our understanding of the historical sites she took us to. She adjusted the pace of the tour to accommodate us and our needs and interests. We’ve been touring northern Italy for a couple of weeks and this was one of the better tours we’ve taken.

Marta met us at the meeting point ahead of schedule. She was very pleasant and gave us a very detailed description of the history of Ferrara. We toured the castle, the “new city” and the old town where we saw the old Jewish Ghetto. All along the way Marta willingly answered our questions. After the tour she recommended an excellent restaurant where we were able to get traditional dishes for lunch.
