Tour Description
Visit this beautiful Ferrara and its stunning historic center, which today is a UNESCO World Heritage site!
Ferrara has been ruled for centuries by the aristocratic Este family, whose influence is still visible through the Medieval and Renaissance elements mixed together in the remarkable architecture of this town. Follow our expert guide through Piazza Trento e Trieste, the beating heart of the city. This square is overlooked by many significant buildings, such as the outstanding 12th-century Cathedral with its Romanesque facade; the Palazzo della Ragione and the Palazzo Municipale.
The greatest highlights of Ferrara, however, is the Estense Castle. This imposing fortress was built at the behest of Niccolò II d’Este, who wanted to erect a defense against revolts. The castle features four majestic towers, symbols of the magnificence of the Este family, as well as roof terraces, marble balconies, large courtyards and beautiful apartments. Thanks to our knowledgeable local guide, you will learn all about the history of this stunning building and of the city itself.

Gary P. with our guide Marta
"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.",Gary P.
