Vicenza Private Tours |
|
Benvenuto to the Veneto, heartland of the Venetian republic! While Venice may be the most visited city in the world, there is much to explore in the towns, cities and countryside beyond its borders. Visiting romantic riverside Verona, or Palladio's splendid villas in Vicenza - and the charming villages in between - is a wonderful way to delve into the real Italy.
Take a private Vicenza tour and explore this delightful region with a knowledgeable local guide.
Vicenza is famous for the work of its Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio. His work in and around the city has become a UNESCO world heritage site. Your guide will walk with you inside and around the outside of some of Italy's grandest old homes, theatres and basilicas, helping you learn about the art, culture and history with which these buildings are suffused. When you're done exploring Vicenza, be sure to put aside time to visit Verona, arguably one of Italy's most beautiful cities.
Enjoy your private Vicenza tour! |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Italy requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the area in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural features. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each foreign language they applied for with oral and written tests. report error
