Good overview
This was a wonderful tour. The guide was knowledgeable and energetic. We learned a lot about the city. Now that the venue charges to see Juliet’s balcony though it might be nice to include this in future tours.

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.

This was an excellent walking tour led by the very knowledgable guide Isabella. She presented the information well and it was easy to understand. The small group meant everyone could hear her too. Highly recommend the walking tour and the extra for the arena tour.

Thank you, Brian! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Verona on foot and found the city so pleasant to discover. We appreciate the helpful tips for future visitors too! 😊☀️

Family visit
£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
Operator response
We’re sorry the price paid did not feel appropriate for the experience. The Arena guided tour can be added during the booking process, but in this case the walking tour only was selected. We hope to welcome you again in the future and have the opportunity to show you the value of our tours and how much we care about our guests’ experience. 😊
