About this tour
This 4.5-hour tour departs from Padova or Abano Terme to explore Treviso, a canal-threaded city laden with frescoed Renaissance palaces. You'll wander the historic centre guided by a local escort, tracing waterfront paths along the Sile and crossing bridges that frame pastel-hued buildings. The finale lands you in a traditional pastry shop for an authentic Tiramisu tasting—prepared by hand using the original Trevigiano formula—where you'll learn the dessert's history before tasting it yourself.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the arranged pickup point and drives you into Treviso's compact historic quarter. From there, you'll walk at a leisurely pace through a network of lanes, squares and waterside promenades. The escort shares local anecdotes and points out architectural details—Renaissance frescoes, period windows, the engineering of the old walls. Around the halfway mark, you'll rest at a café or shop. The tour concludes with entry into a working pastry shop where the baker or owner explains Tiramisu's origins and technique whilst you sample a freshly made portion, coffee and biscuit layers intact.
Good to know
Minivan collection runs from Padova or Abano Terme hotels; confirm your exact pickup time a few days ahead via phone or email. Wear comfortable walking shoes—the medieval streets are uneven. Museum entries aren't included. Prams are welcome. Expect mild climbing on bridges and some cobblestones.
