Rick's "Venice" guidebook has a lengthy chapter on Padua, which is also covered in his "Italy" guidebook.

Here is my trip report for the Village Italy tour taken in 2019:

Acraven's list looks pretty comprehensive. A few of those sights ( Scrovegni Chapel, Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza della Fruta) are on the tour, but most are not. And you may want to go to the Scrovegni Chapel on your own, as well as with the tour, as visits are seriously time limited.

FWIW, we arrived 3 days early for our VI tour, spent the entire time in Padova, and wished we had had more time.

Our Villages tour was in 2017. We arrived 4 days early. We visited the botanical gardens which were very close to our hotel. We were staying at the Al Fagaino. Nice, but quirky hotel. St.,Anthony’s cathedral was just up the road, which was not on our tour so a nice place to visit. We also walked the flea market on Sunday, which was great fun, even bought a few things. We did a day trip to Verona and used a RS guide for a 1/2 day tour. Not sure I would recommend it unless you want to see the Romeo and Juliet area. You have to try every Gelato shop you see to find your favorite flavor.

Have a great time that tour is still my number 1 tour.

Good luck

A FANTASTIC tour we did prior to our villages of Italy tour was a canal boat tour that started in Padua which traveled the canal with stops at 3 absolutely gorgeous ancient villas/palaces (one was an ancient popes palace) it also included a gourmet lunch at a wonderful restaurant. It was a full day and ended with the boat making its way into the bay of Venice.

We did this in October of 2019 and had about 15-20 people on an open air (with capability of going to a covered lower level area) boat. It went thru ancient locks that had to be hand cranked by operators. Highly, highly recommend this tour prior to the villages tour. It was a great way to start our vacation.
