We had a great tour with the area added on. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable (an archeologist) and very personable. We were the only couple with a small child (5 year old daughter) and the tour guide went out of her way to speak with our daughter and tell her about some great things she would understand

Amy C

Our tour guide for Verona, Andrea, was excellent! His knowledge of ancient and also more modern history of Verona was extensive. On our walking tour, he introduced us to many buildings, squares and monuments using interesting details and showing us specific aspects we wouldn’t have noticed ourselves. Andrea also asked questions and used humour to keep the tour both interesting and entertaining. He made the tour a highlight of our time in Verona.

This was probably one of our most memorable experiences in Italy. We loved how Andrea showed us how the history and architecture of Verona tie in together! He was great with answering all our questions and really made the day feel special with his passion for the history of Verona.

Our guide, Francesco, was excellent- very knowledgeable and also had a wonderful sense of humour. Recommend doing this tour on your first day in Verona as we did, as it is an excellent introduction to the city. Francesco also gave us some good suggestions for other things to see and do in Verona. The arena is well worth seeing and it was great to be able to avoid the lineups getting in by being part of this tour.
