We did our tour with the director of the Palladian routes at Vicenza, Manuel G. He personally led us via E-bike to Villa La Rotunda for a personalized tour of the villa. I was astonished we were the only ones there, four of us! Great historical information and discussion - 40 minutes. As an architect it was such a treat and honor to visit this majestic site. The site and design contributed to the Palladian style used in Italy during the late Renaissance and hundreds of years later in England and the US in designs such as the Capitol and the White House. Then we were able to visit other sites including the Teatro Olimpico and the Palladian Museum. After lunch we met with Manuel again to discuss the history of Vicenza's role in the architectural reimagining of their city and an attempt to distance themselves culturally from Venice. Next we sat at a cafe next to one of the buildings and listened to Manuel talk about the buildings, it was like a "live podcast". I would recommend visitors to stay more than one day and give yourself a chance to view all the sites at your leisure. One other quick note, when we went mid October the weather was great in Vicenza and there were not too many people. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Mark D.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble en todos los aspectos: el trayecto en Ebike muy cómodo, los espacios naturales recorridos: preciosos; las Villas Palladianas espectaculares, y por último - y no menos importante-, el relato audio que acompaña la visita muy instructivo y placentero de escuchar. Absolutamente recomendable! La mejor manera para conocer e impregnarse en un día de la obra inmortal de Andrea Palladio. Bravo y ¡muchos éxitos!
