Our tour guide Frank was very knowledgeable and so fun!! When going to Verona you need to get a guide or you will miss so much history!!
I thought this was a bit pricey but well worth the extra! Maria was my tour guide. She is a true storyteller and made the very hot day so enjoyable, even bought us water during the tour. She brought history to life! Highly recommend.
Fabulous tour guide with excellent knowledge of architecture, history and lore! She was amazing with energy and enthusiasm!
Incredible tour and tour guide. Probably the best one I took in Italy. Highly recommend to anyone. Great insights on the history of Verona and told in a spectacular way. Maria Pia was our tour guide and I highly recommend her. She was exceptional.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She made the stories very interesting and we learned a lot about architectural styles.
We were only in Verona for a day trip and were looking for a shorter guided tour to give us some insight on the city. This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Francesco was a self-proclaimed history nerd and provided lots of interesting information to help us understand a bit more about beautiful Verona.
We went early in the afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded we queued just 5 minutes and were able to take several pictures , people are friendly and took the pictures for the previous ones. We visited the interior and it is really beautiful to see. It’s very romantic.
