Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

Away from the tourist hustle of its famous neighbor Venice, Padua reveals its treasures in a more intimate and authentic atmosphere. This university town, founded in 1222, deserves much more than a mere stopover: it calls for a true tailor-made journey to grasp its full cultural and spiritual richness.
Padua offers an authentic Italian experience where you can stroll quietly through its cobbled streets without the pressure of tourist masses. Its 210,000 inhabitants, nearly 60,000 of them students, create a unique atmosphere where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously.
Your trip to Padua will allow you to discover exceptional artistic wonders in a preserved setting. The Scrovegni Chapel, a true jewel housing Giotto's frescoes, is visited under optimal conditions thanks to a reservation system that limits the number of visitors. This heritage-respecting approach guarantees a unique contemplative experience, impossible to live in overcrowded destinations.
Prato della Valle, with its 90,000 m² surrounded by 78 statues, is one of the largest squares in Europe. Unlike the crowded squares of other Italian cities, here you can fully appreciate the architecture and atmosphere without being jostled.
Our Travel Planners, specialists in Southern Europe, have an in-depth knowledge of Padua and its region. They can guide you towards the most enriching experiences based on your interests: sacred art, medieval architecture, local cuisine, or vibrant university life.
This local expertise makes all the difference in the design of your custom stay in Padua. Our specialists know the best times to visit the Basilica of Saint Anthony, the authentic trattorias frequented by Paduans, and secret paths to discover the city from a unique perspective. They adapt each recommendation to your pace and desires, creating a personalized travel guide that reflects you.
Padua is full of artistic and architectural treasures that amply justify a dedicated trip. Each monument tells a story, each street reveals an architectural detail, each square invites contemplation.
The Scrovegni Chapel represents the pinnacle of your artistic discovery in Padua. These frescoes by Giotto, painted between 1303 and 1306, revolutionized Western art with their expressiveness and humanity. The 38 scenes from the lives of Christ and the Virgin Mary unfold in a narrative cycle of breathtaking beauty, where each face expresses palpable emotion.
The Basilica of Saint Anthony is another pillar of your personalized journey to Padua. This sanctuary, completed in 1310, harmoniously blends Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic influences. Its eight domes and two bell towers create a unique silhouette in the urban landscape. Inside, you will discover the tomb of Saint Anthony of Padua, a pilgrimage destination since the 13th century, as well as works by Donatello in the Saint's Chapel.
The Palazzo della Ragione, a former medieval court, will impress you with its 80-meter-long hall of audience. Its 15th-century astrological frescoes, restored after the fire of 1420, offer a fascinating insight into the beliefs of the time. Beneath its arcades, the traditional market perpetuates a centuries-old tradition.
The University of Padua, the second oldest in Italy, merits a thorough visit. The old anatomical theatre, built in 1594, attests to the scientific advances of the Renaissance. Galileo taught here for 18 years, leaving his mark in the history of science.
Your tailor-made stay in Padua should not be limited to monuments. The city reveals its soul in its daily traditions, colorful markets, and refined gastronomy. Medieval porticoes shelter historic cafes where students mingle with professors in a laid-back Italian-style atmosphere.
The botanical gardens, created in 1545, are the world's oldest university garden still in operation. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this haven of 22,000 m² houses more than 6,000 plant species. Your walk will take you from medicinal plants to tropical collections, passing through the 19th-century historic greenhouses.
The market at Palazzo della Ragione enlivens the historical heart daily. Local fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and Venetian specialties mingle in a symphony of colors and flavors. It's an ideal opportunity to discover local produce and understand the food habits of the locals.
Organizing your personalized trip to Padua requires planning adapted to your goals and constraints. Our Travel Planners accompany you at each step to optimize your experience.
A stay of 3 to 4 days allows you to grasp the essentials of Padua without rushing. This duration gives you time to deepen your visits, to wander the streets, and to soak up the local atmosphere. For a more comprehensive exploration including the surroundings, 5 to 7 days offer possibilities for excursions to Palladian villas or the Euganean Hills.
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are the optimal periods for your trip to Padua. Pleasant temperatures, between 15 and 25°C, favor urban walks and extended visits. Tourist crowds remain moderate, ensuring an authentic experience.

Padua offers a range of accommodations suited to all budgets and travel styles. The historic center features charming hotels in restored palaces, perfect for total immersion. Peripheral neighborhoods offer more economical solutions with excellent access to public transport.
Venice Marco Polo Airport, located 45 km away, is the main gateway. Regular shuttles link the airport to Padua in 1h15. Alternatively, Verona Airport, 80 km away, sometimes offers more advantageous rates with a direct rail link.
The city center of Padua is ideally explored on foot. Its 4 km² of historical area concentrate most attractions within a restricted perimeter. For greater distances, the urban bus network efficiently serves all neighborhoods. Bike rentals, very popular among students, offer an ecological and practical alternative.
Our Travel Planners design tailor-made itineraries according to your passions and travel profile. A cultural road trip may combine Padua with Vicenza and its Palladian villas, Verona and its Roman arenas, creating a coherent journey through Veneto's artistic landscape.
For lovers of sacred art, we offer a thematic itinerary including the Basilica of Saint Anthony, the Praglia Abbey in the Euganean Hills, and the surrounding sanctuaries. This spiritual approach reveals the mystical dimension of the region.
Families will appreciate a stay combining cultural discoveries and fun activities. The botanical gardens, the Museum of Precinema, and boat rides on the canals provide options suitable for children. Our specialists adjust the pace and propose interactive activities to keep everyone's interest.
A customized quote request allows you to precisely evaluate the cost of your trip according to your requirements. Our Travel Planners integrate all elements: lodging, transport, guided tours, gastronomic experiences, creating a transparent and detailed budget.
