Hi, welcome to my profile! I am Cristina, and I live between the enchanting Euganean Hills and the wonderful city of Padua. The beauty of the places I was raised in shaped my passion and connection to history and art, and this inspired me to share those wonders with others. That’s why, in my more than 15 years of experience, my greatest commitment has been to transform standard visits into memorable experiences, where you’re not just a visitor but a fellow traveller. Whether we follow a classic itinerary or customize a tour built entirely around your specific interests and passions, you will discover the must-sees of Padua, as well as its most hidden and secret corners, its curious stories and traditions. We can admire together masterpieces like Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel or the Basilica of Saint Anthony with Donatello’s works, but also enjoy the vibrant Paduan life by exploring the world's oldest covered market, wandering through its historic food shops to taste local specialties, or relaxing while discovering the elegant 16th-century botanical garden.

Join me on a private journey through Renaissance Padua, where science, medicine, and human curiosity changed the course of history. We'll begin at the Botanical Garden, the world's oldest university botanical garden still in its original location, where its Renaissance design and remarkable plant collections tell the story of centuries of scientific discovery. We'll also visit the modern Biodiversity Garden, home to plants from ecosystems around the world. Our tour continues to Palazzo del Bo, the historic seat of the University of Padua, where Galileo Galilei taught for eighteen years. Together we'll explore the magnificent Aula Magna, the historic lecture halls, and the world's first permanent Anatomical Theatre, a masterpiece that transformed medical education. We'll end with a pleasant walk through Padua's charming historic center, discovering the atmosphere of a city that became one of Europe's leading centers of learning and innovation.
