You'll start the day by following your guide on a walking tour through the city of Virgil and the Gonzagas, exploring the four grand piazzas. Once you've got your bearings, the next four hours are yours to roam Mantua. Entry to the Virgilio Museum is included, as a visit here is highly recommended to learn about the poet Virgil's birthplace within a historic 13th-century palace.

The tour was great, but would have been better if we had known that the museum was not part of it. We sheltered from the heat in the cathedral to then start the afternoon tour .....in the cathedral. It would be nice if the content was detailed. The actual afternoon tour guide was great and the boat trip late afternoon was also a nice inclusion.

Mantua is absolutely beautiful, the Ducal Palace is somewhere you must visit, just incredible. A real bargain at 15 Euros. Unfortunately this tour itinerary is not great, the walking tour is at 2pm although you arrive before 11am. We had already visited the palace, had lunch and were worn out by the heat by that point. Would be far better if this was first. The boat trip on the lakes surrounding the town was far too long - make sure you are covered in mosquito repellent! Remo was an ace guide!

It would have been better to have the walking tour on arrival.

I loved the boat trip on the lake. It was so much more interesting than I was expecting and it was a really enjoyable trip. The wildlife was lovely and the trip was not hurried. The only problem with the trip to Mantua is that the timing is difficult with everything closing just after the tour finished, it means you can't go back and have another look at things. The tour itself was interesting and informative, although sometimes you couldn't hear the guide. I would still recommend it, though.

Mantua has some interesting history and architecture but not enough for a stay trip.

Really good trip with good guides Only issue was that guided part of city tour was in afternoon - would have been better to do that first and have the free time in the city after it
