The famous piazza, ringed by elegant Renaissance palazzi, assumes still today political and administrative functions during the day but it is also the chosen location of the university crowd during the happy hour.

These remarkable funerary tombs commemorate the Scaliger family who ruled Verona on 13th and 14th century. The most representative monument of the Gothic art, the tombs are placed within an enclosure of wrought iron grilles decorated with a stair motif, referring to the name of the della Scala family, meaning "of the stairs" in Italian.
Casa di Giulietta

This is the reason why most of the tourist visit Verona, to visit and listen to one of the most romantic and tragic love story written by Shakespeare.

Terrible
Do not book with this tour operator. The guide did not show up at the meeting point and when we contacted them and Viator also contacted them we were asked to wait as somebody would come and they were getting in touch with the guide. After 50 minutes and no show we gave up waiting. Thankfully we are getting a full refund. Not impressed.

Wide array of history in a short distance to travel. Excellent smaller group tour
This walking tour completely exceeded my expectations. Priscilla brought the history of her city to life with her energy, humor, sometimes song (lol) , extensive knowledge and great visual examples. I had no real knowledge of Verona (other than from Shakespeare) so I was so incredibly surprised to learn of its colorful history and how that history shapes the physical buildings around you. I was grateful that the group size was smaller and we weren't covering an extensive amount of distance. Each stop was long enough to actually learn about it, take a photo and just enjoy before the next stop. Priscilla was an excellent tour guide, she was easily able to answer off the cuff questions and clearly loves what she does. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn about this beautiful city and getting a good introduction for later exploration. 10/10!

Milan City Walkers
We did the City Walkers tour of Milan with Marco. His enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and love for his city was amazing. He managed to keep his group (platoon) engaged for the duration of the tour

Fun and Informative
Loved it! Fun and informative city walk tour. Great stories about the city's history, people and important sites. Marco, our guide, was super knowledgeable and very patient. You will learn things that are not in any boring travel book or blog. He will also give some great tips about places to see and free things to do during the rest of the trip.

Fantastic walking tour
We did the free walking tour. Marco was our guide and he was amazing. He had a fantastic attitude, was funny and shared so much information about the history of Milan. I learned so much. We saw places I would’ve otherwise missed. I highly recommend this tour. At the end of the tour he even had a map showing places he recommends to visit and we’re invited to take a photo of the map. He also shared why those places should not be missed.
