Excellent tour, easy to follow and use, just right for this size city. Much better than a guided tour for a city this crowded.Make sure you know how to use your ear buds, they gave me fits.

The narrator was a Verona local who was friendly and informative. The tour was very interesting and great that it worked with location mapping so you could stop and start as you wished. My wife and I really enjoyed it.

It does not work. Waste of time and money. They refused to refund us and Viator support did not help either

Robert_S

An incredible way to walk the historic streets of Verona. A very informative tour with the ability to stop and start whenever you like. We took a nice leisurely approach, taking and entire four hours to complete the route. We stopped a couple of times en route for nibbles and refreshments, found a lovely bar where you could sit in their patio overlooking the river and sights beyond. All in all a very enjoyable tour.

The guide was outstanding. The information provided was very helpful in understanding the background of this wonderful city. The pacing of the tour was very helpful and the directions were easy to follow. Highly recommend.

This is perfect for me. I like to fly solo and set my own pace when seeing a new city. The use of GPS in the app provided a tour with the perfect combo of freedom, flexibility, and useful information about the most important sites. My only wish at then end of the tour was that the tour was longer/included more information. But I acknowledge that most people would be happy with about an hour. Maybe there could be multiple tour options. But first I hope this company does well enough to cover more cities! On this trip, I would have also bought tours for Bolzano, Innsbruck, and Graz if they were available.
