Tiziana was literally an amazing guide.

A intriguing look at one of the masterpiece s of the 1500's.
Mantua is a little off the beaten path but worth the effort to get there. The historical center is easily walkable with great restaurants, shops and people.

Premetto che sono una guida abilitata di Roma, in visita a Mantova per la prima volta con mia moglie (anche lei guida turistica) e due dei nostri figli (18 e 21 anni). Tiziana è una guida assolutamente eccellente. Con la guida e l’aiuto di Tiziana, siamo riusciti non solo a vedere la bellezza di Palazzo Te, ma a conoscere e comprendere le opere, l’arte, l’architettura, e la ricca storia del luogo e dei personaggi illustri che lo hanno vissuto. È stata una delle migliori visite guidate mai fatte, e non possiamo che ritenerci fortunati e essere grati a Tiziana per la maniera diretta, gentile, e dotta, con la quale ci ha mostrato uno dei luoghi più belli mai visti. Grazie Tiziana!

Together with the ducal palace, this palace is also worth a visit. Many beautiful frescoed halls to observe. Here too the furniture that would make the halls spectacular would be missing.

Excellent guide. Passionate and exciting. It made me fall in love with Gonzaga's Mantua and their history. Without her we would not have appreciated the beauties of Palazzo Te and Palazzo Ducale.

Consigliatissimo per famiglie ma anche per visite con clienti e quindi di lavoro. Personale molto preparato e cordiale.

Ci siamo regalati una mattinata speciale a Palazzo Te; grazie alla preziosissima presenza della guida Tiziana Portioli, abbiamo potuto conoscere ed apprezzare un magico momento artistico di Mantova, immersi quasi in un bel sogno, rivivendo un Passato carico di Arte , passando attraverso la Storia dei Gonzaga. Una narrazione precisa e puntuale, mai banale e decisamente emozionante. Un privilegio aver scoperto, attraverso la spiegazione dettagliata di opere d'arte del passato, momenti di vita e cultura inestimabili.

Thanks to the professionalism, competence and passion of our guide Tiziana we fully appreciated the beauties of Palazzo Te and above all of Rubens' works. Beautiful afternoon.

Truly very beautiful palace with its relief ceilings, gardens that inspire relaxation. The guest of honor was the exhibition of paintings by Rubbens, which was spectacular to say the least. At a cost of 15,00 Euros we also visited the Maca and the Temple of San Sebastiano. . Magnificent day

I had the honor and pleasure of visiting the Rubens exhibition at Palazzo Te in Mantua with Tiziana Portioli. In addition to being a very prepared and competent professional, Tiziana has the great gift of knowing how to convey her great passion for art, history and culture. The exhibition, thanks to its rich "story", was extremely pleasant.
