Friendly, helpful and informative guide who took her time to answer any questions on the tour. Took us to all the sites we had read about.
Graziano was a fantastic guide. He was so good explaining about everything. We had a small group and he included us all. Great walking tour and the wine and cheese at the conclusion was amazing, we honestly thought it would be small which would have been good but it was huge - thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and recommended to do this.
The guide was very knowledgeable. There is a lot of walking and takes the full 3 hours. Small group was nice.
Monika was a great guide. She imparted extensive knowledge about Verona and was able to answer all questions. It was a very pleasant experience. The tasting of wine, cheese and ham included in the tour exceeded expectations. We can highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was knowledgeable, although perhaps concentrating more on art and architecture than history. The timing of the walk was perfect, because we took the funicular up to a hilltop overlook just before sundown. We elected to end the tour there and skip the mile walk back to the starting point for wine and cheese; so can’t comment on that aspect.
The historical walking tour was really good (because of the wonderful guide) and the cable car was a nice touch. There are stunning views to be seen throughout. But calling this a tasting is a stretch. If you have ever been to a food walking tour elsewhere, you'll be disappointed; the only food/wine we had was in the very end. We sat at a very touristy restaurant by Piazza Bra and were served 2 glasses of wine, water and a platter of local cold cuts with a very minor amount of cheese and some bread (the restaurant was certified gluten free and very careful at that; I am not gluten free and tried a bit of the "bread" - very very good!). We were sadly surrounded by smokers so it was quite unpleasant. Also, there was a barrage of people selling trinkets and flowers. All in all, I would recommend SOLELY having the walking tour and NOT having the tasting piece. The city is awesome and absolutely worth the visit.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. You are absolutely right that this experience is primarily a guided walking tour of Verona, with a wine and charcuterie tasting at the end rather than multiple food stops along the way. We’re very glad you enjoyed the guide, the route, and the cable car views — and we appreciate you highlighting this distinction, as it helps future guests choose the experience that best matches their travel style. For travelers specifically looking for a multi-stop food-focused tour, we agree that a dedicated food walk may be a better fit.
Despite bad weather we had a nice time and learned a lot of interesting things from Verona. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing walking tour of Verona with Monica as well as an incredible waking tour in Florence with Guilia
This was more of a walking tour than a Food tour. We walked for two hours before we sat down to eat. No stop for beverage or toilet break.
The tour description is clear: it is a walking tour of Verona and ends with a food tasting part. I am sure your guide would have stopped if you asked for more toilet stops :)
We have been to Verona before, but our guide Erika showed us corners of Verona where we have never been before, she told us not only about the historical background but also about everyday circumstances. We really enjoyed the tour and the subsequent snack.
