Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour

This is a great tour to learn about beautiful Verona and seeing all the historical sights. The walking is not arduous and there is lots to see whilst leaving time afterwards to explore. Thoroughly recommend.

The organizer asked us to move the start time - we said OK even though it suited us less well. The guide did not seem particularly competent, was busy telling where it was reasonable and good to eat, i.e., relatively weak historical "yield." The route was a bit strange, we didn't stop at any of the places mentioned in guidebooks that are important.

Book directly with the guide, too expensive because too much commissions, probably the final guide get the half of our payment,

Our friendly and knowledgable guide was on time, flexible to client requests (turning route around), gave interesting information and chose a good route and sights. Recommended!

A really great tour from Sara. Her mission was to help us fall in love with her city, and she succeeded. We were a small group of four and the comprehensive explanations, historical context and tips, answered all our questions. She was also very considerate in finding shade, and occasional seating for someone who needed it. We can genuinely recommend this as the perfect introduction to your stay on Verona.

They cancelled the tour an hour before. Then rescheduled. We were running late as a result. No one responded to my emails. I actually thought it was a scam. I usually book through Tours By Locals. They’re always reliable.

Great 2 hour tour with a knowledgeable guide Sara showing us hidden gems of Verona, she was upbeat and great info despite the rain!

A very competent and very courteous Italian guide with whom it was very pleasant to take the 2-hour walk in Verona.

We met with Elettra right on time, she was very well spoken and informative. I have to say some times Viator guides seem to just ramble on. Not the case with Elettra. She always kept the tour conversational and was quick to answer questions in an easy manner. We were pleased with the pace of the tour, and didn't feel rushed. Loved her love of history and architecture. She passed on some good ideas for food and drinks with the locals. Throughly enjoyed our entire time with her.

The young man who accompanied us to Verona was very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. However, being a pleasant person does not mean being a licensed tour guide. In Italy, the profession of tour guide is regulated by law, and to practice it, one must possess the required qualifications and be registered in the National List of Tour Guides. You cannot simply improvise as a guide overnight. As a licensed tour guide myself, I know well the path, the exams, and the requirements necessary to be able to perform this profession. For this reason, I was particularly disappointed to discover that the person leading our tour was not a licensed tour guide, even though the service was presented as a guided tour. I believe that platforms and operators like GetYourGuide and Guydeez should verify more carefully the professional qualifications of the people to whom they entrust groups. If a customer books and pays for a tour with a tour guide, they should receive exactly the service that is advertised.
