About this tour
This shorter session stays along the Po river inside Parco del Valentino, away from the castle itself. You see an avenue of mature trees and a viewpoint over the river, sometimes with rowing clubs out on the water. Federica explains how the park's 19th-century layout still shapes how the space is used today.
She walks the tree-lined path at a relaxed pace, pointing out specific plantings as they appear. She answers questions about the park's design and its use throughout.
This suits anyone who wants a calm, nature-focused session over a historical one. It pairs naturally with the castle session for a fuller visit to the park.
