It was difficult to understand the tour guide who was Italian and gave the tour in English. He showed us basic historical sites with a little explanation. You could probably read up on sites to see on your own.
Very nice walking tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide. It is great with a small group of people.
Guide never showed up to the walking tour. Called the office after 15 minutes of waiting, they stated the person had an emergency. It would have been nice for the office to let us know so that we didn’t have to travel to the city for nothing.
Sara was a great guide, full of interesting facts about the history of Verona. She also took good care of the group and was happy to answer our questions. Good tour for getting your bearings.
Very knowledgeable and friendly guide, not only the history,but also the best places to eat.
Torque guy did a great job taking us around Aurora and showing us some very interesting sites and gave us an insight into the history and places that we should go back to.
Franco did a great job showing us around the old town. He made the tour fun and interactive and we learnt a lot. Highly recommended.
Frank has a great knowledge of the history of Verona and was very engaging with our group! He is very personable, polite, informative and has a lovely sense of humour.
The 2 hour walking tour was perfect for our multigenerational group (ages7-70!). Francisco kept our group engaged with his expert knowledge of architecture, history and fun facts. We would highly recommend it … and our guide!
Great way to get to know Verona and some of the history. We got our bearings around the place and could plan our next activities.
