Traveler reviews
Walking tour
We were in Bassano del Grappa for a visit and in our walk could not miss the Ponte, a meeting place and always crowded where you can taste grappa.
Grappa
Driver was great and very knowledgeable. pleasant drive over one hour into the mountains. Each stop well spaced to break up the whole day. If you like GRAPPA, then do this tour to visit Poli Distillary in the little town of Barona di Grappa. Charming town and he knew the best places to eat.
Stunning Scenery
We had an amazing day with our guide on this tour. We were a group of five for our tour so we were very comfortable in our luxury comfortable mini van. Our guide was very passionate and very knowledgeable. We visited the beautiful town of Bassano del Grappa and Asolo. We toured a grappa museum and sampled a variety of flavored grappa. We also visited the Villa Barbaro which was very interesting. We ended our day with wine tasting at a local Prosecco winery. This was a fun and interesting tour of the hillside towns of the Veneto region.
Wonderful tour
At first getting to the meeting point seemed a challenge but the directions were very good. The towns we visited were beautiful and quite a contrast to Venice. We would like to return and spend more time in then. The tour was paced nice and leisurely and the small group we were with got along well. The Palladio villa is worth seeing. We were also fortunate that the carriage museum was open that day. We will take away a great memory of this tour.
A bubbly day
Driver/guide Marco made our day out interesting and memorable and we would definitely recommend this tour. With only four guests we had plenty of room in a very comfortable vehicle, and joining instructions were detailed leaving no room for error. The tour is a mix of time to ourselves and guided walking with Marco, towns visited are very pretty and appealing. Grappa tasting was a surprise (who knew there were so many flavours?) and prosecco tasting at the end was a great finish. I loved the frescos in the villa, wish we had been allowed to take photos. Thank you Marco for an excellent day out.
