Excellent Walking Tour of Verona - We enjoyed an excellent walking tour with our guide, Virginia. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Our family learned a lot about Verona's history, notable sites, and local food and wine.

Best private tour in Verona. - We had an absolutely wonderful time on our walking tour with Frank. He was incredibly knowledgeable and such a great guy too. As we began our tour with a coffee overlooking the arena Frank asked us what type of tour we would like. As it was our first time in Verona we asked for a general introduction but also concentrating on the history. We learnt so much we would not have known if it wasn't for Frank and it actually felt as if we had known him for a long time. 100% the best private tour in Verona as I can't imagine one being better.

Francesco is very knowledgeable and excited about Verona - Francesco wanted to make sure we knew the history prior to our walking tour. He wanted to know our likes but we were interested in. And then we set off on our adventure. Had a wonderful time. He’s a very terrific host.

Wonderful Experience - Our tour guide was not available on the day, but sent another “Maria” in her place which was kind of her. Our Maria was an absolute delight from the moment we met her. We learned so much about the history of Verona, from the Romans to the families who influenced the culture and customs under various rulers and factions. Her manner was charming and made all the details more like “fun facts”. Would highly recommend this tour and if you’re fortunate enough to encounter “Maria” that will be a bonus. Thank you Denise and Sally

Learned the History! - Barbara was knowledgeable about her beautiful city. She was able to answer all our questions, and even asked us why we thought an event might have taken place. Like your favorite teacher would to help keep you interested. We would highly recommend Barbara for a personal tour when in Bologna.

Thunderstorms didn't dull Hidden Gems of Verona - What a way to start a walking tour - thunderstorms in Verona. But any concerns about the background weather were soon swept away by Francesco's bright and enthusiastic love and admiration for his city and his ability to share it all with us. While the rain dampened down, Francesco's engaging stories about Verona didn't. He not only led us through, and demonstrated evidence of, the history of the city (including a visit to a department store to show us the ruins of portion of an ancient Roman wall within the shop, explaining to us how many Roman towns had been "built over" through the centuries), but also related the true stories behind the tales of Romeo and Juliet and the powerful families of the city and their contributions to the history of Verona.
Starting with a visit to the Roman arena, an amphitheatre still in use for concerts today, through seeing evidence of some of Napoleon's time in the city, visiting the market, discussing how the City has rules to maintain its unique architecture and appearance and ending up with the (not so old) tourist attraction of Juliet's balcony, Francesco kept us interested and informed throughout the whole tour.
A walking, enlightening tour not to be missed!

Family morning in Verona - Francesco was a great guide and a lot of fun! We ranged in adults down to 11 years old and each member of our group had a fabulous experience with Francesco. He kept the kids interested and engaged and his true love for Verona really shined. We were very happy with our tour and would highly recommend it to others.

Verona with Maria Pia for our multi-generational family of 5 - Maria Pia was a wonderful guide for our multi-generational group of 5. She told us great stories about the history of Verona. She made sure we kept a walking pace that was good for us while still seeing as much as possible. She was so much fun and made our first day in Verona so memorable. We absolutely recommend this tour with Maria Pia.
