Start your tour in Piazza Bra, the largest square in Verona. Surrounded by elegant cafes, palaces, and the ancient Roman arena, it’s the city’s vibrant heart. Your guide will introduce the city's rich history and what makes Verona so special.
Just steps away is the Arena, Verona’s iconic Roman amphitheater. Built in the 1st century AD, it still hosts world-renowned opera performances and concerts. Admire its architecture and learn about its evolution over the centuries.
Walk down Via Mazzini, Verona’s main shopping street, paved with pink marble and lined with stylish boutiques. It’s also a great spot to feel the city’s modern rhythm blend with ancient charm.
Enter the romantic world of Shakespeare at Juliet’s House. Touch the statue for good luck, see the famous balcony, and hear the legend behind one of the world’s most iconic love stories.
Explore Piazza delle Erbe, once a Roman forum and now a lively square filled with market stalls, bars, and frescoed facades. Admire the Lamberti Tower and historic buildings all around. Try a local cicchetto—a small, savory snack like crostini with fresh toppings, paired with a sip of regional wine or juice
Step into the elegant Piazza dei Signori, framed by medieval buildings and Dante’s statue. Just nearby, view the Arche Scaligere, impressive Gothic tombs of Verona’s ruling family.
Peek at the private exterior of Romeo’s House, a medieval residence linked to the Montague family. Though not open to the public, it’s a charming stop in the Romeo and Juliet journey.
Take a scenic walk along Via Sottoriva, with its low arcades and cozy taverns. Continue along the riverbank for beautiful views and a tranquil atmosphere. Enjoy a gelato from a local artisan gelateria, with options ranging from classic to creative seasonal flavors.
Finish with the impressive Castelvecchio, a 14th-century castle and bridge that once protected the city. Learn about medieval Verona and the Scaligeri dynasty. Sit down for a final cheese and cured meat tasting (assaggio di formaggi e salumi), including vegetarian options, paired with a local wine or soft drink.

Polite guy, but beyond that, there’s not much else positive to share. Blame should be placed on Viator and the local company they contracted with. The day before, we received a text that our food tour would need to be canceled. Not a problem, I appreciate the heads up and life happens. They asked if we wanted to reschedule to a walking tour only and they would refund food portion. The guy that showed up normally gives tours for French speaking groups and his English was barely that of a beginner. He kept apologizing for his poor English. What little he shared wasn’t comprehendible. Audio support like a whisper wasn’t provided and he didn’t seem to know where he was going or why! We had tremendous tours in Milan and Venice respectively via Viator. But this was about as disappointing of an experience as they come! I plan on seeking a full refund for the time and money wasted.
This is an awesome tour where you get a lot of knowledge about Verona form excellent tour guides, mixed in with tastes of local flavors.
