View on Google MapsOur group had a wonderful day in early June with Manuel as he took us across the Vicenza countryside and educated us on Andrea Palladio. His knowledge of Palladio is both deep and wide and the pure emotion he had for Palladio’s architecture was evident. The e-bikes were top notch bikes with Bosch motors that performed great. The route was lovely with appropriate stops to enjoy and experience Palladian architecture and learn how to read where form meets function to create beautiful structures. Manuel helped us learn how to read the artwork to better understand what it was trying to tell us. Our group went from just appreciating the art to basic interpretation of the art. What an ‘Ah ha’ moment. All-in, it was a fantastic day and our group really appreciated that we toured with Palladian Routes.
We had 4 couples embarked on an e-bike journey with Manuel's guidance. We had an awesome day Vicenza, seeing most of the important landmarks this beautiful city has. We covered about 14 miles, then stopped for a delightful lunch. We ended the day visiting 2 more landmarks, including the "Rotunda". Simply beautiful. Manuel was the best host and tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and easy to relate to. We highly recommend this tour.

I joined this tour with a large group of friends and I did not know much about Palladian architecture prior to this tour. Manuel was such an enthusiastic and energetic guide and teacher and made it interesting for a newbie like me. Someone with a better understanding of architecture would revel in the depth of his knowledge and passion for Palladium villas. The e-bikes were perfect and I truly enjoyed riding through the countryside and also through some regular Italian neighborhoods. 100% recommend this e-bike tour (even if you are not not as knowledgeable about architecture)
This is a fantastic tour. Manuel was our tour guide and clearly passionate about these beautiful villas. We were a large group and had a wonderful time. The lunch was delicious and the tour was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this tour!
My long=-standing fascination with the villas of Vicenza–brought me to Manuel, who, despite his heavy schedule, made time to arrange a tour for myself and my travel companion. Manuel’s comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the historical, religious, philosophical, and artistic context in which the miracle we know as Palladio came into being illuminates the complex factors that produced the architectural monuments, and brings to vibrant life the allegories, conceits, and stories encoded in the architecture , ornamentation, and gardens of these fabulous residences .Erudite, gracious, and generous, Manuel is a true man of the Renaissance.
A wonderful experience where we took a real journey back in time... it was very exciting! I must say that Manuel made the whole day particularly pleasant with his interesting, punctual and sometimes truly suggestive explanations! A Judas with 10 cum laude! Even the picnic break was "magical" and very tasty 😋 ... and against my expectations I recommend it even in winter ... (just remember to wear hats and gloves 😉). Thanks again Manuel.
Tours of the right duration and in maximum safety, practically always on cycle paths and in pleasant places in the outskirts vicentina.massima availability and expertise of the director who with simple links has shown us routes and stages to follow.e 'was a bit like a treasure hunt: at the end of each stage there was something pleasant to expect.architectural heritage everything makes discover.grazie
A must-do tour for architects and history buffs alike (ie anyone visiting Italy. The e-bikes were great, even for the unfit, the tour extensive, the lunch generous. I would take your own phone for navigation assistance as the ones supplied to use were a bit fiddly. Age or riding experience should be no barrier, I am a senior, and my daughter no athlete, and we managed easily. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
I had the opportunity to spend a day with my wife in the suburbs of Vicenza, moving along the "Vicenza Villas" route by Palladian Routes. It was a fantastic time, full of different landscapes and interesting buildings. This experience is different from walking or driving as it allowes you to learn about the city and Italy in detail. The electronic bikes allow you to move quickly without getting tired, but also leave you the chance to examine the surroundings closely. I recommend this experience to everyone.
