All thirteen Scrovegni Chapel listings, grouped by what you actually get
Thirteen listings come up on the platform for this chapel. I have read all thirteen of their own pages, and the column worth sorting them by is neither the price nor the star average. It is what changes hands. One is a ticket with an audio guide attached. Four put a licensed guide beside you with the admission folded in. Six do the same for your party alone. And two do not get you into the chapel at all — which their own pages say plainly and their titles do not.
The thirteen, in one table
Read the price column with its second half. Where a listing prints “per person” on its own page I have copied that word into the cell; where it prints “per group”, the cell carries the party cap the page prints beside it; and where it prints neither, the cell says so. Nothing on this site converts a party price into a head price. Review counts are the platform’s own totals, and four listings have none at all.
| Listing, titled as it titles itself | What its own page says you get | Price, with its unit | Rating and written reviews | How long the listing runs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The ticket, resold — one listing | ||||
| Padua: Scrovegni Chapel Ticket and Audio Guide | The one listing here that is a ticket rather than a tour: an “Admission ticket to the Scrovegni Chapel” and a “Digital audio guide for Padua city”. Seven tracks covering the university, Piazza delle Erbe and the chapel — a city guide with a chapel track on it. “Entrance tickets will be sent the day before the tour.” | €31 per person | 3.8 from 165 reviews | 30 minutes |
| A live guide, chapel included — four listings | ||||
| Guided Tour of Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel | A licensed guide beside you for the quarter of an hour. The inclusions name a “Professional tour guide with official license”, a “Guided visit to the Scrovegni Chapel” and “Access to the main works inside the chapel” — a visit, in the listing’s own words, and it does not use the phrase two other listings here do. English and Italian, from Piazza Eremitani 8. | €39 per person | 4.7 from 332 reviews | 1–1.5 hours |
| Padua: Small-group walking tour with the Scrovegni Chapel | “Certified tour guide” and “Entrance at Scrovegni Chapel”, with “Limited to 10 participants” printed on the page — the only party cap stated on any shared listing in this catalogue. Italian and English. The meeting point “may vary depending on the option booked”. | €60 per person | 4.4 from 61 reviews | 1–2 hours |
| Padua: Evening Tour with Admission to the Scrovegni Chapel | “Certified guide” and “Admission ticket to the Scrovegni Chapel”, on the operator’s evening programme, which the listing calls by its name: “Discover Padua with Giotto under the stars”. Start times are not printed on the page; it says to check availability. | €59 per person | 4.4 from 59 reviews | 2 hours |
| Padua City 2.5-Hour Walking Tour | The chapel is not in its title, and among the listings here carrying more than ten written reviews its 4.8 is the highest rating. “Entrance tickets”, a “Personal guide” and “Transportation”, starting at the tram stop in Prato della Valle. The page reserves the right to swap the chapel out: “In the unlikely event that tickets for the Scrovegni Chapel are not available for your date, the visit to the Scrovegni Chapel will be substituted with a similar visit.” | €185 per person | 4.8 from 18 reviews | 2.5 hours |
| Your party only, chapel included — six listings | ||||
| Padua: Private City Walking Tour & Scrovegni's Chapel Visit | Three lines, and no more: “Certified tour guide”, “Private tour”, “Admission to Scrovegni Chapel”. Italian, Spanish and English. Its own page warns that “the meeting point may vary depending on the day selected for the visit”. | €150 per person | 4.6 from 194 reviews | 2 hours |
| Padua: Scrovegni Chapel & Basilica with Sacred Art Guide | Four inclusions, and they are specific: a “Certified tour guide experienced in sacred art and iconography”, an “Entrance ticket to the Scrovegni Chapel”, a private tour inside the chapel and another inside the Basilica of St. Anthony. Italian, English and French, from Piazza Eremitani 8. | €180 — the page says neither per person nor per group | 5.0 from 3 reviews | 2 hours |
| Padua: Highlights Private Walking Tour & Scrovegni Chapel | The longest listing in the catalogue. “All Fees and Taxes”, an “Expert, English-speaking private guide”, “Skip-the-lines Access”, headsets for parties of six or more, and transport to and from the meeting points. It starts by Prato della Valle and walks the city before it reaches the chapel. | €663 per person | 4.9 from 6 reviews | 3.5 hours |
| Private Tour by Night: Scrovegni Chapel and Main Monuments of Padua | “Private walking tour with a licensed local guide” and “Admission to the Scrovegni Chapel (ticket included)”, past Palazzo BO, Palazzo della Ragione and Caffè Pedrocchi. Italian, English and French, from in front of the Musei Civici Eremitani. | €137 per group — and the page caps that group at one person | No rating, and no written reviews | 2 hours |
| Walking Tour of Padua's major monuments and the Scrovegni Chapel | The same private-guide shape as the night tour, with the admission stated the same way, plus guided visits to the Palazzo della Ragione and the Cathedral of Padua. Italian, English, French and German. | €297 per group — and the page caps that group at two people | No rating, and no written reviews | 2 hours |
| From Venice: Full-Day Tour of Padua with Lunch and the Scrovegni Chapel | A day out of Venice rather than a visit to Padua: a private transfer from Piazzale Roma, a private local guide, a two-hour guided tour, “Admission to the Scrovegni Chapel” and lunch. The page adds that the admission “is subject to availability”, and states that the day is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. | €590 per person | No rating, and no written reviews | 6.5 hours |
| Does not get you inside the chapel — two listings | ||||
| Padua: St Anthony's Life Tour with Self-Guided Camposampiero Visit | Its included list has an “Explanation of Scrovegni Chapel”. Its NOT-included list has “Tickets for Scrovegni Chapel”. The chapel is explained from the pavement and the visit is left to you to arrange. It is really a St Anthony tour: the Basilica, the tomb, and Camposampiero on your own. | €129 per person | 4.7 from 11 reviews | 2 hours |
| Venice: Private Day Trip to Padua with a local | A car and a driver-guide out of Venice — “Fuel and Tolls”, a “Personal English-Speaking professional Driver/Guide”, Wi-Fi and water. The chapel is not in that list. The page says art lovers “can opt for a visit to the Scrovegni Chapel” and recommends booking ahead because entries are limited. | €376 per person | No rating, and no written reviews | 6 hours |
Three of these prices are not per person
Ten listings say “per person” and mean it. Two say “per group” and cap the group in the same breath — the private night tour at one person, the monuments walk at two people. One says neither, and it carries three written reviews, which is not enough to infer anything from.
This is the single most misleading thing a table about this catalogue can do, and it does it silently. A party price of about a hundred and forty euros read down a per-head column looks like an unusually expensive private tour. Read correctly, with a cap of one person on it, it is a private tour for one person, which is a different product at a different scale. Two people looking at that figure and dividing by two are planning around a number that does not exist. So the cap goes in the cell, in words, every time.
For the two per-party listings and the one with no unit, put your real party size into the date picker before you compare them against anything else. The widget prices the party it is actually pricing. A table on a website cannot, and a table that pretends to is worse than no table.
The one that is a ticket rather than a tour
“Padua: Scrovegni Chapel Ticket and Audio Guide” is the only listing here selling admission with nobody attached to it, and at 3.8 it is the lowest-rated of the thirteen. Its inclusions are an “Admission ticket to the Scrovegni Chapel” and a “Digital audio guide for Padua city” — a city guide with a chapel track on it rather than a commentary on the walls, and a reviewer on that listing says so herself. It lists a duration of thirty minutes; the operator says visits last about fifteen, and the difference is the waiting room. Where the other fifteen minutes go. What it charges against what the operator charges is on the tickets page, which is where that comparison belongs.
The four with a live guide and the chapel included
These are the ones I point people at, and the reason is the fifteen minutes rather than the money. You get the same quarter of an hour as everybody else. What a guide changes is whether you spend it looking at the right wall. The guided visit is the most-reviewed listing in the catalogue and starts from about forty euros a head. The small-group walk is the only shared listing here that caps its party — “Limited to 10 participants” — and runs from about sixty. The evening tour, from about sixty as well, uses the operator’s evening programme by name and does not print its start times. And the city walking tour rates 4.8, from about a hundred and ninety euros a head, with the chapel nowhere in its title.
That 4.8 is the highest rating on any listing here carrying more than ten written reviews, and the qualifier is doing real work: two private listings rate 5.0 and 4.9, on three written reviews and six. A star average with three reviews under it is a rounding error with a decimal point. A star average with 332 under it is evidence, which is why the table above prints the review count in the same cell as the rating.
That last one carries a sentence worth reading twice before you book it: “In the unlikely event that tickets for the Scrovegni Chapel are not available for your date, the visit to the Scrovegni Chapel will be substituted with a similar visit.” It is an honest sentence and it is also a conditional. If the chapel is the reason for your day, read it as one.

The six that are your party only
Private here means a guide and nobody else, and each of the six names the chapel admission in its inclusions in one form or another. They are also the listings where the unit matters most, since two of them are priced for a party and a third says nothing either way. They range further than anything else here: the private city walk is two hours, the sacred-art tour adds the Basilica of St Anthony, the highlights tour runs three and a half hours and starts on the far side of the city, and the Venice full-day tour is a day out of another city that happens to end up in this room.
The Venice full-day listing is the one to read carefully. Its own page says the chapel admission “is subject to availability”, which is the honest consequence of a chapel that will not sell on the day, and it states that the day is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. It has no written reviews. Neither do the two per-party walks, nor the private day trip further down this page. That is four of the thirteen listings on this page with nothing written under them at all, and saying so beats quoting round the gap.

The two that do not get you inside, in their own words
Both of these are real listings, both are well thought of, and neither takes you into the chapel. They stay in the table because a page that lists only the tours that work is not telling you anything, and because both are easy to book by mistake.
“Padua: St Anthony’s Life Tour with Self-Guided Camposampiero Visit”. Its included list has an “Explanation of Scrovegni Chapel”. Its not-included list has “Tickets for Scrovegni Chapel”. Those two lines sit on the same page and they do not contradict each other: the chapel is explained from outside and the visit is left to you to arrange. It is a St Anthony tour — the Basilica, the tomb, Camposampiero on your own — and it is rated 4.7. Read it in full before you assume the explanation comes with a door.
“Venice: Private Day Trip to Padua with a local”. A car and a driver-guide out of Venice. The chapel is not among the inclusions. The page says art lovers “can opt for a visit to the Scrovegni Chapel” and recommends booking ahead because entries are limited — which puts the ticket squarely back on you, on a day already committed to a driver and a route. It has no written reviews. If the chapel is the point of the day, book the chapel first and the car second.

Which to book, if you want an answer rather than a table
Book the guided visit. It carries more written reviews than any other listing here, it is rated 4.7, and it is the only one that is both about this chapel first and backed by that much writing. Its own inclusions name a licensed guide, a guided visit to the chapel, and access to the main works inside it. Its reviewers say two things over and over: that the guide was good, and that the time inside is short. Martina, in one sentence and an exclamation mark: “It was wonderful, but you could only spend a very short time inside!” Both halves of that are true, and neither is a reason to stay away.

Frequently asked questions
How many Scrovegni Chapel tours are there, and do they all get you in?
This site tracks thirteen listings and eleven of them include the chapel admission in some form. Two do not: a St Anthony tour whose own not-included list reads “Tickets for Scrovegni Chapel”, and a private day trip out of Venice where the chapel is something the traveller “can opt for”. Both are decent listings and both are easy to book by mistake.
Are these prices per person or per group?
Ten of the thirteen print “per person” on their own pages. Two print “per group” and cap the party in the same breath — one person on the private night tour, two people on the monuments walk — and one prints neither. The table on this page carries the unit in the same cell as every figure and converts nothing, because turning a party price into a head price is how a website invents a number.
Which Scrovegni Chapel tour should I book?
The guided visit, for most people. It carries more written reviews than any other listing here, it is rated 4.7, and it is about this chapel first rather than about Padua with the chapel attached. If you want your party to yourselves, the private city walk has the longest written record of the private listings. If all you want is the admission, the operator sells that itself — what it charges, and how the two compare, is on the tickets page.
Why do some listings have no reviews at all?
Four of the thirteen carry no written reviews: the two per-party private walks, the private day trip out of Venice, and the full-day tour from Venice with lunch. They are newer, or thinner on bookings, and this site says so on their rows rather than borrowing a review from a different listing and hoping nobody notices. A star average with nothing written under it tells you very little.
Does a tour listing get me in when the chapel is sold out?
Sometimes, and not by magic. A supplier showing availability on your date is holding a slot from the same allocation everybody else draws on — twenty-five places per visit. Two listings state the limit of that on their own pages: the city walking tour reserves the right to substitute a similar visit if tickets are not available, and the Venice full-day tour calls its chapel admission subject to availability.
