Great tour. Recommend. - There were four people on our tour which meant it was friendly and a nice chatty and relaxed experience. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and accomodating.
We tasted different oils, sampled chocolates, had a rustic mini pizza, had cheese, meat, tasted two wines, and ended with a pastry. As we strolled our guide explained the history of the city and pointed out things you wouldn't have otherwise noticed.
We really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to others, especially if you're only in Verona a few days.

Disorganized tour, poorly planned: Loosey Goosey. - Merriam did a great job filling in for this tour as our guide at the last minute. The whole thing was very disorganized. Our food tour was changed at the last minute to an earlier time, and then changed again just when we showed up at the place we were supposed to start so it seemed like it would be cancelled. Then Merriam showed up, saved the day for this company. All the restaurants we were supposed to go to were closed because of Sunday, but Mirriam was able to alter the plans and knew some others to fill in the gap. There was no audio system so we did not hear much. People were getting left behind and obviously did not get any information from the guide. One of the couples only spoke Italian and so we had to wait for the information to be presented twice once in English then in Italian. We did not do all the places listed because of the extra time needed to explain everything twice.
It was a nice walk through the city and Mirriam was intelligent about the city and very nice, but I don't think I will take another tour with Get your Guide due to the poor organization.
