Our guide was charming, animated and extremely knowledgeable. She even stayed behind, at the end of the tour, to enthusiastically answer my additional questions. A fantastic tour!

Frank was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who made sure that the tour was focused on our interests. We learned a lot about Verona in a short time.
Maria was excellent. She was so animated and passionate about Verona and made learning about the city so fun. Storytelling was amazing. I highly recommend this tour, it is a great way to start your journey in Verona!
very interesting, the guide was very friendly and told us amazing stories, i would recommend her , very nice
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.
Tour guides knowledge made the entire trip so much better. We wouldn't have stopped and known to notice the things that were shared with us. Great Job!
We loved this tour! Our tour guide Maria was fantastic! She was a great storyteller and made it come to life! We totally recommend this! 10/10 it was the best surprise of Verona! Thank you Maria!
Andrea was great! We learned SO much and SO entertained! Highly recommend! Anson Williams “Happy Days”
This tour was wonderful! I lucked out and was the only one so I got a one on one tour with Frenk. He was SO knowledgeable about the history of Verona and took me to all the top spots. I learned a lot and would absolutely recommend booking a tour with Frenk!!
Wonderful tour. Guide was exceptionally thorough with information. We learned so much about Verona past and present ! Romeo and Juliet is not all Verona holds.
Francesco was very knowledgeable and passionate about Verona. We had a small group, which made it easy to communicate with him. The downside was he was filling in for another tour guide and had to cut our tour a bit short. Still, we’re glad the tour wasn’t canceled. We enjoyed getting to learn about Verona.
Our tour guide was outstanding! We went on Saturday, April 27 at 1:45pm We would highly recommend as he was knowledgeable, engaging and kind! He gave my Dad lots of attention and answered all his questions. I think the fact that he was a professor and he’d been doing these tours for 25 years made a huge impact!
Andrea was excellent - he provided lots of information and context on Verona, from multiple perspectives: political history, architecture, art history, food, pop culture. His energy was great. Would recommend this tour!
Maria was amazing. So passionate and full of endless knowledge. Our experience in Verona was memorable. Thank you so Maria x
Our tour guide was fabulous. Thank you for sending someone so wonderful to conduct out tour. Better than expected.
Our guide was incredibly versed in the history of Verona. He paired his personal knowledge of art history and archeology to share a memorable experience.
Our guide was spectacular, exceptionally knowledgeable, entertaining, and dynamic in her recounting of Verona history and anecdotal stories. She asked the group what we were most interested in learning about/seeing, and she customized our tour, accordingly.
Great tour! Our guide was so enthusiastic and a great story teller. She gave us so much information about the city.
Unforgettable experience. Maria did an amazing job. Thank you Maria for you dedication and work. I will keep in my heart all your knowledge and stories. ♥️👌🏼 Highly recommended.
We loved the walking tour of Verona, the guide was very vivacious and engaging, she kept us entertained while educating us on the history and architecture of the city
Spectacular tour, incredible tour guide Maria Pia. Must do your, not only do you see incredible sights, you learn about the history, architecture and culture of Verona as well as the true story of Romeo and Guilett. Tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic and a great story teller. Must do tour.
Great visit and story of Verona. Andrea is very good and his English is very clear. Perfect for an intro to Verona
Maria led a wonderful tour and kept my teenagers captivated the entire time with her excellent story telling skills about the city sights. We could only spend a few hours in Verona but I feel like we saw the main sights and would like to return to Verona in the future for a longer stay. It was a lovely city with great history.
Francesco (Frank) did a great job of sharing lots of Verona history along with sites related to Romeo & Juliet. He mentioned some other things we might like to see after our tour, as well.
Arrived at 1.45pm for a 1 hour 15 min tour. We met Maria a lovely lady who was so passionate in her love for Verona. We stopped for several minutes at various places where she gave us a wonderful insight into the history of the arena and lots of other sites. There could have been a maximum of 10 but we were just a four. Another couple from Canada. We actually finished at 3.15. Would highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Maria was a fantastic storyteller. She’s energetic, animated, and lots of fun! We learned interesting facts about architecture of different centuries, and among other things. My family enjoyed the tour. I do, however, agree with some reviews that the name of the tour is misrepresenting as Romeo and Juliet is only a very small part of the tour at the end.
Our tour guide Maria was sweet and very knowledgeable about her city of Verona. We enjoyed strolling the streets of Verona, learning not just about Romeo and Juliet, but also about the history of the city. If you want to visit Juliet's house, we would recommend scheduling a visit right after the tour ends.
Maria Pia was the most wonderful tour guide. So informative and delightful, and we just loved the information she provided us. Thank you so much Maria.
Hands down the best tour we’ve done, with the best guide. Loved every minute of it. Cannot recommend our guide Maria enough..
Awww. I loved this tour. Our guide was just lovely and full of energy. The stories were so interesting.
Maria was excellent tour guide! Very informed, very entertaining and so sweet! Highly recommend her and this tour. Even though it poured rain on us she kept on with the tour.
I absolutely loved Maria’s story telling! She has a gift for bringing history to life. My mother and I loved listening to her! Highlight of our trip thus far!
The tour guide was truly outstanding. She imparted significant information about Verona, while telling stories in a very entertaining manner. She was terrific.
Our tour guide was very passionate and overall fun to listen to. You start the tour in the square, walk past the arena, and walk in corridors until you end up in the piazza. From there you visit both Romeo & Juliet's houses. We were able to skip the long line to get into Juliets courtyard quicker. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the title is a little misleading. While we did cover Romeo & Juliet near the end, the first 45-60 mins of the tour had nothing to do with it. While I still enjoyed it, some expressed frustration. Still recommended tour, but if you only care about Romeo & Juliet you may want to look at another tour.
Our guide was not the best we've had at different locations around the world. He liked the sound of his own voice. We were expecting individual headsets so we could all hear him talk through a mic , but no he had to gather us all together at different locations to give us a group talk.
We had a fantastic guide! Very informative! Just a pity that the entrance to the balcony was not included.
The tour lady was animated and told lots of great stories to keep our attention. Unfortunately it was rainy and cold so was difficult at times to stand but overall a good experience.
Lovely tour guide and felt part of the city and made it interesting and memorable to me and my partner.
Our tour was perfect. Very small intimate group and our guides stories were told with such passion and enthusiasm she made this the best tour. She knew how to get to all the amazing sights and to the front of the crowds. Five stars highly recommend.
Francesco was an excellent guide and showed us so many things that there is o way we would have been able to discover without his help. Worth every penny and would recommend anyone to take a tour of Verona with him.
Maria is fantastic - very engaging with young kids too. My son absolutely loved it. Highly recommended. Great value for your time.
Guide was very knowledgeable of the area and history of Verona. We learned a lot and recommend the tour.
A very engaged(almost a actor;-)) and welcoming guide who told us exiting stories of the city and of course Romeo and Guilette, we can higly recommed this tour!
Maria Pia was a superb storyteller, brought the entire walk alive and add in the wonderful humour. Excellent.
Maria P. Is an amazing guide. She is passionate about Verona and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city. The best tour we had on our trip.
