Verona is a beautiful and romantic city, a prosperous medieval town in its own and a popular tourist destination. The Roman Theatre is one of the most important reminders of the Roman history of the city.

You will see the famous balcony and take a picture with the statue of Romeo’s beloved girl.
Your walk continues to the ancient Roman Arena. This impressive building still hosts concerts and operas during the summer, and you will walk on his two-thousands years old stones while your guide will tell you all the secrets of this marvel of roman engineering.
Take a look at Piazza Bra, Verona’s main square. Here your guide will give you the best insider tips for a typical lunch or on how to find the best gelato in tour.
Sirmione, which lies between the blue waters of Lake Garda and green olive trees, is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places on earth and its beauty has been praised by Roman poet Catullus since the early days.

Mario was kind and funny!!! The tour was beautiful, boat is optional and I chose to climb the castle instead because of the waves. No regrets- absolutely beautiful. Verona is so romantic.
The guide from Verona (Andrea) is spectacular, but unfortunately the guide that accompanied us through the other places was very bad!

Long bus ride from Milan. Starts early… Tour guide was good but it took too long Verona was beautiful
Good representation of the city. I would recommend this to any one who is in Milan and wants to see this city.
Verona was better than Venice! Beautiful and charming. Lake Garda was also lovely and do pay the 12e for the boat ride. It’s worth it!! Monica and Andrea were the best!
Perfect tour, guide very.m good. All absolutely right and the route extraordinary. Verona very pretty and Sirmione too. All recommended.
Was amaazing!!! Specially about our guide Monica !! She did the diference!, very kind and showed everything to us with happiness
Great tour, everything was flawless. Only surprise was that we thought the optional hotel pick up was before and after the tour but it was before only and we had to find our own way back to our hotel.
Verona was beautiful and fun. Personally, I wish to have a longer time in Verona because lunch can take up all of the 2 hours free time. This caused us unable to revisit Juliet statue and town square. Simone town is very small, nice for a short visit of 1 hour. Doesn't need 1.5 hours.
An amazing trip to beautiful Verona and Lago di Garda. What made it even more the wonderful knowledgeable guides we had. Monica from Milano and local guide Andrea in Verona with all the interesting info given made this trip great
