Mantua tours

Centuries ago, Shakespeare's Romeo was banished to Mantua; if you find yourself in this Italian city today, you won't be lamenting your fate. Serene and beautiful, Mantua lies on the shores of three lakes: Lago Superiore, Lago di Mezzo and Lago Inferiore. The modern day city has its roots in ancient times, first settled by the Etruscans in the 10th century BC. Take a private Mantua tour and learn about the city's rich history of art and architecture with your own local guide and art historian. Four inter-connect pedestrian squares make up Mantua's heart. Your guide can explore this beautiful space with you, while discussing the layers of family history that lie behind the building's grand facades. See the 15th century Castello di San Giorgio, which overflows with the collected artworks of the city's famous Gonzaga family, and the grand baroque cupola of the Basilica di Sant'Andrea. Enjoy the expertise and attention of a local guide on your private Mantua tour.
