This last Sunday of “quarantine” was to be fully exploited! Just few cars and spring sunshine, "Viaggiare Curiosi" rents wonderful e-mountain bikes that’d make my grandmother climbing a mountain! So I highly recommend to anyone to rent these bikes and take a ride on the hills, why? It’s super easy, also for a beginner! (Climbing with a normal bike it’s only for pros). High quality bikes and very attentive service (I had a punctured tyre but the emergency equipment allowed me to leave immediately = no stress), with a price accessible to everyone, complete the package of a beautiful afternoon! Grazie Carmen e Giorgio!

I was sceptical about renting an e-bike at first, but our trip completely changed my mind! Also, the bike rental service was great and very helpful (especially with adjusting the bike to my height). Definitely recommend doing a bike tour through the smaller villages around Padova.

We arrived at the church by the Rialto bridge and Anna was waiting for us. We started on time as we introduced each other. We walked through the market close to the Rialto bridge, although as we were on a later tour, the fish market was over. First stop was a cichetti bar close by where I had a whipped salted cod open sandwich. Delicious. Anna explained about the history of cichetti, about the reason why certain dishes have been created, while we ate. We wandered round the narrow streets of San Polo while Anna pointed out buildings, shops, told stories about food, in between each food stop. We visited a few cichetti bars which each had their own specialties. We sampled wines. We tried prosciutto, ham, cheeses in a small deli and bought a bottle of a heavenly balsamic condiment to take home. After the savouries came the sweet - cakes, pastries and amazing gelateria. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour tour and we will do it again if we revisit Venice. A perfect way to experience the city and one definitely to be a DO NOT MISS THIS tour. Thank you Anna. We had a great time and ate far too much!! ????
