Description
Verona is one of Northern Italy’s most captivating cities, but truly understanding its history, stories, and hidden details is something you simply can’t get from a guidebook alone. This guided walking tour of Verona is designed to let you experience the city through the eyes of a local expert, turning every corner into a story and every monument into a living piece of history. From the imposing Castelvecchio and the Arco dei Gavi to the lively atmosphere of Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, each stop becomes more than just a photo opportunity, it becomes a meaningful connection to Verona’s past and present. The tour ends in Piazza Bra, where you’ll admire the Arena from the outside, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world and a symbol of Verona’s timeless charm. If you want to make the most of your time in Verona, you can already enhance your experience by booking a combined offer that includes this guided walking tour together with Arena guided tour.

£137 for 4 was seriously over priced - I was expecting arena tour to be included for this as previous tours we’ve done you pay a nominal fee and then pay what you think it’s worth at the end but for a pure walking tour with nothing else it was way too expensive

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.
