Most of the tours I'm seeing to the Palladian Villas cost over $100. Is there a way I can do this independently and inexpensively?

they are located scattered around so going by public transit is out - maybe a car rental would be cheaper for a day?

ah gardens - Lake Garda makes an easy day trip to by train - to Pescheria del Garda and take a boat all round the lake - to the lemon growing areas at its northern end - some nice gardens along the lake and Sirmione is a Bellagio with remarkable Roman ruins set overlooking the lake. An easy day trip from Venice. Get a boat pass for a day and enjoy!

I think the local bus goes down most of the canal.

You could hire a bike as one side of the canal is always very quiet.

Try googling burchiello. A half day cruise from Venice to Oriago costing 55 euro includes the Villa Malcontenta (the best one in my opinion) and is very enjoyable. It's worth signing up for lunch too.
