My wife and I found this tour was a pleasant way to familiarize ourselves with Padua. The Srovegni Chapel is a must for Renaissance art lovers. The guided tour format is ideal for understanding Giotto's work as you are limited to a 15 minute period inside the Chapel. Our guide Tiziana used this time superbly to point out each panel and the important features. Great memories!
2. Odyssey around the Lake

From the gentle slopes of the Berici hills, this E-bike tour leads to the discovery of some Villas that long time ago were property of the noble families, between perfect symmetries and the genius of Andrea Palladio. With the bright reflections of Fimon Lake, the delicacies are served in the typical restaurants. In the afternoon the journey through the Hills keep going on between linen fields and mulberry rows. On the way back to Vicenza, the perfumes of the pastries straight from the oven of bakeries are the sweetest tentation: before the last stage it's time for a coffee break to rest the body and mind. Arrived in the city center, it’s time for a toast: the Palladian Basilica pays homage to the heroes with her eternal beauty, and the old bar welcomes the bikers with an aperitif in a timeless experience.
Inclusions: E-bike rental , Lunch in a typical restaurant, An amazing coffee break with homemade pastry, Tasting exploration, wine and food , Ticket for Villa da Schio
Exclusions: Gratuities, Everything not mentioned in Included

What a fantastic experience! So much more than just an e-bike rental: you get curated routes, via an easy-to-use GPS system that hooks on to your bike, which takes you past places you would never see otherwise. We did the Palladian tour but, outside of Covid time, you can apparently do wine tours and all sorts of things that we will plan to do next year. But more generally, E-biking in this wonderful part of the world is the best way to see it. We happen to love Palladian architecture, so we felt very lucky to see his masterpieces throughout the countryside. But even if you just want to see a lot of beautiful country off the beaten track, this is the way to do it! and though we are not a sporty family, we got up mountains (and down them)! About the company: the service was great, bikes were totally easy to master, can’t say enough about it. Also you get to rent your bikes out of a Palladian villa. Unbelievable. Recommended!!

Just outside the city of Vicenza, between the stones and the dust of the yard of the Villa Trissino, his patron Giangiorgio coins the most famous name of modern architecture: Palladio. In the center of Caldogno, stands out the roof of Villa Caldogno, which reveals the elegant harmony of its Palladian forms. After the visit, the traditional dishes are cooked and the lunch is served in a typical restaurant. In the afternoon, the discovery of Villa Valmarana Bressan: the elegant frescoed hall is immerse in a magic atmosphere. Riding along the countryside path, the travellers contemplate the façade of Villa Da Porto Pedrotti, only to be surprised by a few pedal-stones further on, at the sight of the majestic eighteenth-century staircase of Villa Da Porto Casarotto. In the Bertesina area, it welcomes the Palladian Villa Gazzotti Grimani and the elegant Villa Ghilanzoni Curti where a glass of wine from the farm and typical products are the perfect restore before coming back to Vicenza.

Daniela was fantastic. We were in Venice during some of its worst flooding on record and that didn't stop Daniela from giving us an amazing tour. Our hotel concierge told us that our guide would not turn up due to the flooding - but of course she did! Daniela is someone who you can 100% trust and rely upon. She is extremely knowledgeable, has excellent English and she is a delight to spend a half-day or a full-day with. I would recommend Daniela to anyone going to Venice or indeed her home town Vicenza - thank you Daniela :)

From Vicenza city center, this E-Bike tour leads to the vineyards of Villa Valmarana ai Nani, enlightened from the golden light of the morning sun. On the Riviera Berica, the Lady of the Hills, Villa La Rotonda shines from its own eternal beauty. Perfect is the fusion between its proportions and Nature around the Valletta del Silenzio (Silence Valley). Riding on the green quite path, the architecture of Villa Trento and Villa da Schio pay homage to the passers on the bucolic landscape of these rich lands. Ancient is the tradition of the local Trattoria: precious lunch to taste. The afternoon sun gives vital energy to the fruit of the green gold, the tasty DOP Olive Oil. In the mill, the expert leads the senses to the discovery of its aromas. The journey of taste continues in the vineyards where the grapes give the award-winning Tai Rosso Doc. The last stop is Monte Berico: from the large square of the Santuario, Vicenza shows itself in all its divine beauty.

What a trip! Adam, our driver, was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The day went according to plan and we had marvellous visits to both the extensive complex of Villa Adriana and then taken up the hill to Villa d’Este and its magnificent water gardens. Thoroughly recommend this out of Rome trip although pre-trip communication from the local provider could be improved.

Such a magic! Asolo and the surrounding land of Treviso, Possagno, the Prosecco hills and their secret views are a strong emotional experience. You‘ll breath the Venetian discrete dominance and the brilliant touch of the spirit of the ideally closest province of the Serenissima.
