4.Self Guided E-Bike Tour among the Palladian Villas of Vicenza

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 44 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $82

Set off from central Vicenza at 9:15 am on a comfort-focused e-bike, following a mapped route to ten villas linked to Palladio and his legacy. Your phone provides navigation and audio narration in the voice of Palladio. The tour is private to your group, but self-guided; admission fees are extra, and most stops are viewed from outside.

“It was sadly a wet day but we decided to go anyway. It was such a treat to get out of Vicenza and get to see the amazing countryside and the villas. Great tour. Manuel went out of his way to make sure that everything was great for us and spent a long time getting everything working. So contientious. We learnt masses about Palladio - and will do it again next time (hopefully on a sunny day)”
