scenic back-roads, with

if this tour was designed
just for you. Visit
enchanting Asolo, the pearl
of Veneto, perched on
lush-green hills. Along with
its delightful gardens and
palatial villas, the
spectacular views of the
surrounding countryside have
inspired poets and writers
over the centuries.
In picturesque Bassano
del Grappa, enjoy a guided
tour of the town which
includes a magnificent
Palladian bridge crossing
the mighty Brenta river, and
a chance to sample some of
the local firewater -
"Grappa". Bassano is also a
shoppers paradise; famous
for its ceramics, porcini
mushrooms and other local
delicacies. You'll have free
time to shop while we are in

A tour of Veneto would
be incomplete without
visiting a Palladian Villa.
Visit the Villa Barbaro, one
of Palladio's most
celebrated works with fine
frescoes by Veronese. The
price of the tour includes
entrance fees and a guided
tour of the Villa Barbaro
with a local expert guide
who'll introduce you to
Andrea Palladio & his
architecture as well as
defining the importance of
the Veronese frescoes and
the role of the fresco in
the decoration of country
homes.
 Veneto
is a land of good food and
wine. For lunch we have
selected a local restaurant,
where you can taste the
regional cuisine accompanied
by local wines. Lunch is
optional, but we strongly
recommend taking lunch at
the quaint little trattoria
we visit that offers great
value for money, with a
great selection of dishes at
reasonable prices.
Medieval Marostica, with its
imposing castle and giant
chess-board permanently
laid-out in the town square,
is where the famous living
game of chess is played
every two years. The game
revolves around a legend
dating form the 15th century
when the fate of one young
lady was decided on the
outcome of a game of chess.
While at Marostica we'll aso
enjoy a walking tour of the
back-streets of this
charming town.
 Saving
the best to last, we finish
our day on the Prosecco wine
road visiting a local
vineyard with stunning views
of the terraced slopes
thickly planted with vines,
where we’ll celebrate our
day in the Veneto with a
refreshing glass of Prosecco
or two. The rolling hills of
the Prosecco wine region are
quite breath-taking and as
you enjoy the wines of one
of the most noted producers
of Prosecco you'll be
enchanted by the sweeping
views of the hill country
and the distant plains of
the Veneto. |

VENICE GHOST WALKING TOUR
Venice by night
is a place of romance and
mystery. This Ghost walking
tour of Venice features an
itinerary that will take you
on a journey through the
hidden Venice where you will
not only hear six intriguing
ghost stories that will
bring a chill to the night's
air, but you'll also be
entertained by legends of
sea monsters and the
Venetians themselves that
will include the legend of
Marco Polo's wife.
In addition to the ghost
stories and legends this
walking tour includes an
itinerary that will pass-by
many architectural treasures
that are hidden away in the
back-streets of the Hidden
Venice. Your adventure will
start at the Rialto
bridge, from where you'll
descend into the labyrinth
of the hidden Venice,
crossing sleeping canals and
abandoned camp, it will
feel as if you have Venice
to yourself as the only
sounds you'll hear will be
the echoes of distant
footsteps.
In
between the Ghost Stories,
you'll hear other gruesome
tales from Venice's past
including stories about an
old prison where the poor
in-mates lived in
rat-infested cells that
flooded during high tide.
We'll take a stroll along
the narrow alleyway called
the street of the Assassins
to recount the murders that
have taken place there, as
well as exploring an old
camp that use to home to
one of the numerous
cemeteries in Venice. You'll
also explore a secret
passageway, one of the few
surviving that were used by
the inhabitants of palaces
to flee from the authorities
(subject to water-levels).
This
walking tour will also
include architectural gems
and follies lost in the
back-streets of Venice that
will include the delightful
Bovolo staircase built for a
wealthy Venetian at a time
when many Venetians still
traveled around the city on
horse-back. The elaborate
staircase enabled the
wealthy nobleman to ride his
horse up to his private
apartments within his
palace.
Following a winding route
through the labyrinth of
back-streets you'll enjoy a
very intimate experience of
the Hidden Venice on this
walking tour. An enchanting
route with many surprises
along the way. The tour
finishes near the Rialto
bridge where you'll enjoy a
fine view of the main bridge
over the Grand Canal.
