    Perfect orientation to Verona with Silvia

    Cassidy_C, Apr 2026
    Silvia is an absolute expert in the town of Verona. What makes her so special is her flexibility and ability to design a walking tour that is meaningful for adults and kids. This is our second trip with her and she is a pleasure to work with. She’s super responsive and we had the size and shape of our group change a number of times and she created the right agenda for us.

    Great Tour of Verona

    Carol_M, Mar 2026
    We had a great tour through Verona. Our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of interesting information about all of the historic sites. Our guide met us promptly at our hotel lobby and the four of us had a private tour. Our schedule was tailored to what we wanted to see and we opted to continue on our own after the tour rather than going back to the hotel. I would highly recommend this tour!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you very much!!! My pleasure to meet you! Silvia

    Great time and very thorough

    The Perfect Verona Guide – Thank You, Silvia

    Rene_v, Aug 2025
    e had a truly unforgettable experience with Silvia as our guide in Verona. She is incredibly knowledgeable, insightful, and clearly passionate about the city and its history. From the very start, Silvia made us feel welcome and engaged, bringing each site to life with stories and details we never would have discovered on our own. We honestly could have spent the entire day exploring Verona with her — the time went far too quickly! Thank you, Silvia, for an amazing day and for showing us the very best of your beautiful city. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Verona.

    Great fascinating tour - a must do !

    This was an absolutely brilliant way to see Verona when you are limited with time. Silvia was so lovely, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her city. She took us to all the places that you may not have found or known about and explained so many interesting facts about the city and it’s architecture and was so engaging with the teenagers we had with us making sure everyone was enjoying the tour. THANK YOU SILVIA.

    Silvia was a fantastic guide, full of great history and knowledge. With the light rain, she flexed our agenda to make sure we saw the city and avoided the rain. We’ve been to Verona before but have a whole new appreciation for this gem thanks to Silvia’s knowledge.
