Top Vicenza Cultural Tours

Vicenza is one of the most elegant small cities in Italy, home to architectural treasures like the Palladian Basilica and Teatro Olimpico. With this walking tour, skip the hassle of a map and guidebook and take in the highlights with a guide. Learn about the history and culture of this UNESCO-listed gem, and enjoy the individual attention and slower pace of a private tour.

Take a day trip to historic Bassano, known for its World War I history and traditional alcoholic beverage called grappa. Your guide eliminates the hassle of navigating on your own and points out easy-to-miss landmarks along the way. Cap off the day with a complimentary grappa tasting, and then relax on the way back to the doorstep of your accommodations.

The Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio designed villas that shape luxury architecture even now and his work around Venice and Vicenza holds UNESCO World Heritage status. This private tour lets you visit three of the finest—La Malcontenta, Villa Emo, and Villa Barbaro—and look at privately-owned Villa Cornaro from outside. Your chauffeur will provide general information as you travel, but visits to the mansions are self-guided.
