Martina was a wealth of knowledge about the history of Verona. My daughter and I had lots of fun walking through the roads of Verona eating, drinking great wines, and talking about the culture of Verona and Veneto region. Martina was a great guide, easy to takk to and answering all our questions. Awesome experience!!

I chose this class because it covered pasta making, risotto and tiramisu. Alberto was our instructor. I think my family has decided to adopt him should he ever move to America. He is super knowledgeable about Italian regions and ingredients and an absolute wizard of a chef. He turns such simple ingredients into culinary perfection. Our group was two 19 year olds, their parents and grandpa. Everyone arrived with different skill levels in the kitchen and even the most novice among us could follow Alberto’s instructions. The tiramisu was delicious and not too hard to make. This was my first time making pasta and it was so easy. I have made a lot of risotto but I learned so much in this class that I am certain I can up my game back home. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend!

Fun and informative walking tour in Verona. Our guide (sorry, I forgot her name!) was lively and enthusiastic, which made for an engaging walk through the central part of Verona while she shared interesting stories and local history, ranging from Romeo and Juliet to a few darker stories!

Quick but thorough overview of the history and sights of Verona. Our guide, Priscilla, is a local and knew the history of Verona and wider Italy in great detail. Completely fluent in English having spent a few years in New Zealand when she was young but the rest of her life before and after in Verona, she was charming and fun to spend a few hours with. She also very kindly looked after my elderly mother. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time learning to make Gelato with Silvia. She was so informative and all the recipes were delicious. She introduced us to unique topping flavorings like oil, balsamic, mint, and so many others. We would have never thought to put olive oil on Gelato but it was fantastic. The toppings added such a unique experience. We are so glad we booked this experience!

Very informative walk through the vineyard and wine making process. Our guide was delightful. Tour finishes on a terrace with a panoramic view over Verona. Small groups, coupled with glasses of wine, make for easy laughter. Location is accessible via bus #70, but they are infrequent so plan ahead. Taxi service is also available.

This was truly a highlight of our trip to Verona. Our guide, Jacobo, set the tone for us as he is outstanding and each stop along the way provided a depth of knowledge of the area and wine from the owners of each vineyard. We learned history, the anatomy of wine, ate grapes in the vineyard and tasted so many amazing wines. The tour group also facilitates shipments of wines back to the US (cannot wait for that to arrive).

I was staying in Verona for 3 nights and wanted to get a taste of Lake Garda. Being able to see two locations without having to worry about transportation was perfect. Our guide Leo was excellent and kind. Felt like it was a good amount of time to check out Sirmione and neighboring Lazise. Would recommend this if you’re staying in Verona and want to see Lake Garda. My roommate in the hostel I stayed at said it was easy to get to Sirmione, but took him 3 hours to get back. Maybe due to it being a Sunday with buses, but I felt like getting shuttled to a very popular tourist destination was part of the value of this trip too. The boat ride was a nice way to get some photos, the hour or so walking tour gave a good feel of Sirmione (Lazise too), and then you got to wander a bit (or choose to in Lazise). I also got to swim quick in Lake Garda - the water was a perfect temperature. Warm enough, but refreshing. Overall, I’d recommend this trip if you’re looking for a day away from Verona while you’re there.
