Maria is a wonderful tour guide! I only had a half day to explore Verona. Joining this tour maximized my limited time to learn and enjoy Verona
Dan_A, May 2026
Great tour with Isabella. Felt like we were walking around Verona with a friend. She shared all the history about Verona. Brought us to the key locations. And then took us into the Arena. Fantastic afternoon. Definitely recommend this tour

Benedetta is a fantastic guide, you can tell she loves Verona and what she does. She gave us so many incredible recommendations and tips. It’s always fun to see a city through a local’s eyes, and we loved hearing the history of the city along with Benedetta’s personal stories as well. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Thank you for this wonderful review, Kyle! Seeing the city through the eyes of someone who truly loves it makes all the difference. We’re so glad you enjoyed both the history and the local recommendations along the way 😊

Our tour guide was friendly, engaging and highly knowledgeable. We discovered areas of the city that we had missed, and collected many facts and stories about the history of the area.
Leo_S, Jun 2025
It was very hot day. Our guide was very knowledgeable but she didn't account for the sun. Our other guides were mindful of the group and find shade to stand in to discuss the spots of interest.
Elizabeth_S, Oct 2024
Serena, our guide was great. She was funny, informative, and made the entire experience a good one. Verona is a beautiful city with so much history and she was so knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail, which was very helpful. A+ with a guide like her.
Laura_P, Sep 2024
The guide was very nice, she really felt passionate about what she explained, we really enjoyed her anecdotes and historical facts
KATHY_B, Sep 2024
Franco was amazing. So knowledgable, friendly and funny. He also encouraged questions and included your views in his commentary. He obviously loves Verona and history.
mercedes_S, Jul 2024
We found Verona more beautiful and historically rich than we imagined. Our tour with Maria was the best walking tour we have taken of the many in multiple cities! She had an outstanding way of wrapping the history into a perfect circle with the tour.
Kathi_E, May 2024
Wonderful guide. Leisurely pace showing all of the highlights and answering all of our questions. Helpful for ideas post- tour.
Beverly_E, May 2024
Viator was not responsive. I made a simple request and at first they said they would and then wihen the time came, they did not keep their word. I would have cancelled if I had known.
John_A, May 2024
Francesco was knowledgeable and actually wanted questions from his guests. He has a light and humorous way of providing history and information making the 2 hours go by nicely and rewarding. I only wish the meet up point were close to a cafe that had a place to sit, have a coffee and a restroom to use prior to the start time of the tour, but that has nothing to do with the guide...Francesco was superb!
Thalissa_R, Apr 2024
I had a great time in Verona. Our guide Francesco was super informative and we could see how passionate he was for the city. He was super kind and friendly to everyone. I'd recommend this tour to everyone who wants to get to know the best of Verona in an amusing and pleasant tour
MelissaWilliams, Mar 2024
We had a great tour with the area added on. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable (an archeologist) and very personable. We were the only couple with a small child (5 year old daughter) and the tour guide went out of her way to speak with our daughter and tell her about some great things she would understand
Daniel_P, Jan 2024
Great tour - guide Isabella was really good. Very easy to understand and shared wonderful insight. Thanks.
Amit_S, Nov 2023
Small group. Isabel, the guide, was knowledgeable and pleasant. I expected it to take 3 hours but we finished in 2.
Maria_C, Oct 2023
This was probably one of our most memorable experiences in Italy. We loved how Andrea showed us how the history and architecture of Verona tie in together! He was great with answering all our questions and really made the day feel special with his passion for the history of Verona.
Janet_M, Oct 2023
Our guide, Francesco, was excellent- very knowledgeable and also had a wonderful sense of humour. Recommend doing this tour on your first day in Verona as we did, as it is an excellent introduction to the city. Francesco also gave us some good suggestions for other things to see and do in Verona. The arena is well worth seeing and it was great to be able to avoid the lineups getting in by being part of this tour.
Domenic_C, Oct 2023
Priscilla was our tour guide and she was just amazing, great personality , very knowledgeable and has a great way to get everyone attention and keep everyone excited and interested .
She was also making sure everyone is accounted for and always with a great smile. The tour was the walking tour and tour the arena .
Well worth it !!
Yelena_N, Oct 2023
Walking and seeing the places, architecture and stories we could never learn about by ourselves in 3 days visit.
Margo_H, Sep 2023
Priscilla was one of the best tour guides we have had. She included interesting historical details along with humor, drama and fun! We highly recommend a tour by Priscilla!
Linda_E, Sep 2023
The guide was easy to understand and knowledgeable. The whole tour was enjoyable and he tried to work with the shade as it was a hot day.
Nicole, Sep 2023
Finding fossils in the pink marble. Never would have noticed if Maria didn't point it out. It was so cool to see. I learned so much from Maria in such a short time. I could understand everything she was saying and she's one of most entertaining storytellers I've ever met.
Karen_E, Sep 2023
Very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend. The three hours flew by finishing in the fabulous arena.
Baiba_S, Aug 2023
Great introduction to Verona. The guide led us through the historical sights with lots of information. It was great to get a feel for the city. After the tour we were comfortable to go back and explore further what we were interested in.
Becky_T, Aug 2023
Isabella was the BEST guide! Great tour. Enjoyed all the sights - the castle, Bra Piazza, Piazza of the lords. Cafe Bosari, arena.
Katie_W, Aug 2023
An excellent tour to see a great range of historical places within the gorgeous City of Verona. The balance of giving enough historical knowledge without overload was perfect. Our guide Frank was excellent and made the tour informative and fun.
Lisa_T, Jul 2023
It was a good introduction to Verona. We saw the most important places and definitely visit the Arena. It is beautiful.
