The story of Vicenza: Guided Half-Day E-Bike sightseeing Tour

Manuel was a fantastic guide for our e-bike tour of Vicenza and trip back in time to the making of Palladio! Manuel is an architect so his perspective was unique and very informative. The meeting point is easy to find and quite a beautiful palace. The architecture is amazing but the history is even better. Would highly recommend for those who would like a deeper dive into the world of Andrea Palladio.

Manuel was an excellent guide. He was very helpful in helping my kids get acclimated to riding E Bikes. And the tour itself was beyond incredible. We learned so much about Vicenza in the 3 hours he took us around the city. We had an amazing time. Highly highly highly recommend taking a tour with Manuel.

Manuel gave a thorough thoughtful review of Palladio’s architecture. He tailored the experience to our group. Be sure to bring water in summer months.

We greatly enjoyed the visit of the villas near Vicenza. The tour is very nice and the information given about Palladio very interesting. He gave us the vogla to see others the next day, with the car m make a visit with the bike is really a pleasure

My husband and I both studied architecture in the U.S. so visiting Villa Capra was an absolute must for us. What we did not expect was to have the care and thoughtfulness of a guide like Manuel. Our understanding of Palladio and Renaissance architecture is so much deeper after this tour, and we left feeling more inspired about our profession than ever. Grazie Manuel!

I took a Story of Vincenza half day bike tour with Manuel. Quite frankly, I learnt a lot in a very enjoyable way. The e-bike was a fantastic way to zoom around, especially on a hot August day in Italy. Manuel was so knowledgeable and informative. The bike was easy to ride and the perfect way to climb up the hills. Riding in Vincenza is easy and safe, and local drivers are used to cyclists on the road and treat you with courtesy. I highly recommend you treat yourself to this tour.

We had a great morning touring Vicenza and learning about Palladian architecture. It was beautiful getting outside of the city center as well. The views from Monte Berico was gorgeous. We would’ve missed a lot of the town without the tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Manuel. His passion, depth of knowledge and gift of communication brought so much to life out of the stones of the Palladian architecture he showed us so lovingly. He is an expert story teller, building solidly from the ground up and then spinning fascinating connections into a woven fabric that envelops you with appreciation for not only the genius of Andrea Palladio, his inspiration and significant ongoing influence, but also of all of humanity as it evolves. Practical concerns about using e bikes for the first time were taken care of and the stories took over (most of the time!). Thoughtful and sensitive to our needs and pace, he even gave up his own jacket for one of us as it was a cold, damp day. We would have gone back for another tour had the weather been kinder and our itinerary allowed. As it is, it was a privilege to see Vicenza this way - never to be forgotten.

Manuel was an amazing tour guide- passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging! The information we received allowed us to link Palladio and the history of Vicenza to our own story. Great city and even better tour! Highly recommend!
