Who will be your guide?
My name is Manuela Castagnola and I am a tour guide passionate about Pavia, my hometown. I know every corner and secret of this wonderful city, and I am here to share its history and its beauties with you.
My adventure in the world of tourism began with an honors thesis on the Art Nouveau style in my province. Subsequently I spent years abroad to perfect the languages that I now speak fluently: Italian, German, English and French. In 2010 I obtained the official qualification, valid throughout Europe, and since then I have had the honor of guiding visitors from all over the world through the streets of Pavia.
I work with esteemed colleagues, offering tailor-made experiences carefully designed to meet every need. My professionalism and friendliness make every tour with me an unforgettable experience.
