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.

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.

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.

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.

This was a balanced small group tour well conducted by Marco the Guide . The drive through the countryside was uplifting and the towns visited were made enjoyable by Marco's guiding skills and he allowed ample time for photo stops and free time...Apart from the bridge over the Brenta being under repair this was a tour to remember.being capped of by the wine tasting at a vineyard in the hills at the last stop. We would stress that it is a long day but well worth the time

This is the third time that we have taken this tour in 14 years - and - the itinerary is perfect for a day trip out of Venice. When the guide is good (and Marco definitely was!), trust me, you are in for a real treat! Each of these Veneto Hilltop Towns is so unique. Starting with the piazza and castles of the medieval town of Marostica, you then go to Bassano del Grappa with its Palladian Bridge. Depending on your interests you can visit the Alpine Museum of World War I and II; walk around the picturesque town with overlooks of the River Brenta; sample some grappa, visit a ceramic workshop or other local shops, or just have an espresso on a balcony overlooking the stunning river and mountains.We had a fantastic lunch in Asolo (not a group lunch; you are free to go where you choose) with enough time to walk around the popular hilltop resort. We then visited one of the best preserved Palladian Villas - the Villa Barbaro; and last but not least, had a "tasting" visit at a Prosecco winery. The people on the tour were extremely nice (and punctual!). Marco was one of the best guides we've ever had with Avventure Bellissime,...and thanks to him, the full day of scenery, sites and activity was so enjoyable! The City of Venice has so much to see, but if you have the time, I highly recommend this small group day trip to get a sense of the surrounding area.

What an exquisite day! With an early start from Venice Tronchetto, a small group of us (6) made our way to the gentle hills of the Veneto. Marco our driver/guide was much obliging, friendly and informative. The pace was laid back and allowed lots of time to simply stroll though the charming villages of Marostica, discover Bassano de Grappa with its incredible Poli Grappa Museum and its Grappa tasting and Asolo for an al fresco lunch in the Piazza (optional). From there, Marco drove us to the Palladian Villa Barbaro which was quite interesting to visit. Then off to the Prosecco hills where a thunderstorm caught us and gave us spectacular play of lights over the Prosecco vineyards. We stopped at Ca’Salina and had quite a comprehensive degustation of all levels of Prosecco. What a better way to end this day. Returned to Venice around 7pm with lots of great memories! Thoroughly enjoyed this well organized excursion! My review on Viator July 2/18
