Leave the Lake Garda region in the morning and sit back and relax on the journey south to the city of Verona. Known as the city of love, Verona is famous for its links to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet but it’s also home to astonishing Roman ruins, Renaissance art, and operatic heritage.
Learn all about the city as you explore landmark-thronged squares like Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori. See Juliet’s House (Casa di Giulietta) with its famous balcony, and hear fun facts about the house that’s dedicated to Shakespeare’s iconic love story.
See the Ponte Pietra, and admire Verona’s vast Roman amphitheater that’s known simply as the Arena. The stadium is thought to have seated around 30,000 spectators in its heyday.
After lunch, enjoy some time at leisure to browse the chic shops of Via Mazzini. Later, head back to your coach for the journey back to your start point in the Lake Garda region.

Exactly what we have come to expect from Viator. Value for money, knowledgable guides and everything as promised. Verona was a great experience with plenty to see and do.
Richard_J, May 2026
Francesco was our tour guide for a day trip to Verona. Cheerful throughout and knowledgeable. He organised the trip but split the group in Verona and we were given the tour by a lovely Ukrainian lady who was great. The whole day went very well and Verona is a lovely city though very busy. Still possible to find quiet street cafes to while away a half hour. Overall recommend this trip .
Kimberly_M, May 2026
We had a relaxing and informative time in Verona. A great way to visit Verona. We are glad this option exists and we did not have to drive.
Donna_S, Apr 2026
Fantastic and well organised. The tour guide was very informative. Timings were also good, giving plenty of time to explore.
Chris_W, Apr 2026
Generally a good experience and one I would recommend. However, it would have been useful to have the guided tour start on arrival in Verona as it would have given us a good start to explore on our own whereas we spent the first half an hour wandering around without a focus.
Jon_A, Sep 2025
Very well organised with a great walking tour and plenty of free time. The tour guides on both the and walking tour were excellent.
Adrian_S, Sep 2025
Great city to explore in a day. Fantastic architecture and plenty of places to stop for so lovely food and drink.
Our too guide was friendly and informative.
Couldn't recommend this tour enough 👍

The tour guide picked us up from the pick up point on time, so professional. He talked to us all in English and German, he was extremely entertaining on the way there and gave us loads of info. Verona is so beautiful and well worth a visit, the tour guide told us all we needed to know and interesting facts as we went around the city. The journey home was one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever seen. We were staying in lake garda (limone) it was an amazing chance to see the other side of the mountains, me and my partner cannot believe how amazing it is. So worth it.

Verona is very beautiful but heaving with tourists. You arrive at 10.30 and then have around 2 and half hours of your own time before the tour. The tour lasts an hour and everything they show you you can see yourself in the free time beforehand. Please also note that the meeting point given on the trip to be collected in Torbole isn't actually the meeting point
Mark_M, Jul 2025
Perfectly organised. Takes away all the stress of finding the attractions. You can relax and take everything in and Verona is the place to do just that. Amazing.
Faye_L, Jun 2025
Great day out, guide was very funny and informative. We were dropped off around 10am for some free time first then the walking tour started at 1pm for about an hour.
Coach was comfortable and properly air conditioned which was very welcome after a day of 35°C round Verona!
Could have done this cheaper going on the local bus from Bardolino but we had a much more positive experience going on an organised trip (and having experienced the local bus service, personally the less time spent on it the better!)

This was our second bus tour with the company to Verona from Lake Garda. It was incredible! Tomàs was funny, helpful, honest, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the city and were able to fully enjoy it without having to stress about transportation.
Scott_W, Jun 2025
Verona is a beautiful city and well worth visiting, even though it was unusually very hot (35°C+) and humid. Our tour guide, Alessandro, was very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, and certainly helped to make it a thoroughly enjoyable trip. It is a shame that the rules mean that he had to hand over to a local guide for the included walking tour of the old part of the city, a I'm sure he would have done a first class job! As it was, the guide we did get was OK but did appear to be 'going through the motions' a little. To be fair, though, it was unbelievably hot, and so I can understand why it was difficult for him to be over-enthusiastic.
Henry_G, Jun 2025
Superb trip. Alex ( and giovanni the driver ) were simply amazing. Alex is the best tour guide in years of travelling. He knows the area so well. Can’t praise the trip highly enough. Verona is a great city. We will def return
Leona_H, May 2025
A really great tour would highly recommend, guide very informative and free time to explore beautiful Verona.
Heather_S, May 2025
Tour guides were excellent. Great tour and very informative. There was also plenty of time to explore on your own.
Michael_C, Sep 2024
The guided tour was very well done. The sites selected and the information provided was excellent. We would very much like to return to Verona.
elizabeth_t, Sep 2024
The coach spent Too much time picking up and dropping off people which took 3 hours meaning only 5 hours in verona.
Andrew_G, Sep 2024
Easy, on time pick-up, amusing guide on the way, great organisation in Verona and for the return. If you’re on Lake Garda and want a good, hassle free trip to a beautiful city, this tour is recommended.
Tony_S, Sep 2024
Verona is a beautiful city with significant Roman ruins and of course, a possible link to Shakespeare. Not happy with the main guide who criticized us for being late to the group when in fact we were earlier than the agreed meet time. Very poor effort by a professional guide!!
Merri_B, Aug 2024
Guide Federico was great
Plenty of spare time on the town
Local tour guide was also great
Verona is a gorgeous town
We enjoyed going into the arena as well
Cold drinks in the many tavernas finished off the day
chris_s, Jul 2024
Bus tour guide very friendly, very knowledgeable. Plenty of time to explore the city on our own too. Local guide knew his stuff.
Karen_A, Jul 2024
Fantastic tour guide, Francesco, very funny and informative.
Verona was beautiful
A little bit too long walking around for 6 hours in 40 degrees
Inga_K, Jul 2024
This is not a your you can consider this a round trip bus ride. You are mostly on your own and tickets are not included and you probably won’t have time to purchase unless you do it before getting there. If you need a bus ride this is it otherwise skip on this “Tour”
Kenneth_H, Jun 2024
journey and pick up was good. I would have preferred the walking tour at the start of the trip instead of at 1pm.
Kenneth_M, May 2024
Enjoyable day. Map of the city would be nice just to get your bearings. Guides excellent even with mixed group.6 different countries Would recommend.
Paula_Y, Oct 2023
Booking the tickets was easy and meeting point was easy to find . The coach journey although quite long picking everyone up : was pleasurable.
Loved visiting the amphitheatre and Juliet’s statue and house . Definitely worth a visit !
Dawn_H, Oct 2023
A wonderful day exploring Verona with the trusted support of local guides .
Alessandro was knowledgeable and looked after everyone with such a professional attitude.
Hayley_P, Sep 2023
Great city, great tour. Alex was our tour guide and he was very informative, he was was really helpful also.
Verona trip was great, guided walk was really interesting also
Martin_C, Sep 2023
We started out in pouring rain. Gabrialla led our tour and provided perfect guidance in English. Thankfully for the City centre walking tour it had dried up and we had a full English speekibg guide. This lady had a lot of valuable information but her mild delivery meant only those close to her would have heard. The arena was amazing, concerts held there now over the summer months bringing in 4-500,000 guests per year and all the associated revenue for Verona. We concluded with a visit to the Romeo & Julliet square and the famous balcony. A great days trip despite the terrible wet start.
