My goal is to create a truly personalized experience, unveiling the beauty, history, and fascinating stories that make this Region so unique.

Overview of your Vicenza tour

Enjoy a typical day like the "vicentini" do! Come with me, a true local guide and I'll make you discover all the hidden spots and Italian traditions. We'll walk in the city center switching between a good Italian coffee with a homemade cake and the beautiful Venetian palaces of Vicenza. We'll visit the typical local market with its lively and colourful atmosphere, hanging around the stalls of fresh fruit and vegetable. From a taste of bacalà (our traditional food made with dried stockfish and olive oil) and the Basilica of Palladio we'll have a delicious lunch prepared in one of the most ancient "ostaria" (Bistrot), finishing on demand with the visit of the Olympic Theatre of Palladio. Spend half a day in Vicenza like a real vicentino, eating in our everyday Bistrot being surrounded by the Palladian art!
