Excellent guide- Eugernio- knows the history well and hidden interesting aspects of the city. Has schooling in history and art. Very professional and easy to understand. Took us through most of the city and on route to old wine tasting shop. He is knowlegable in wines and food also. Highly recommend this tour guide.

We truly hit the jackpot with this tour. Our guide was the wonderful Eugenio. His stories will walk you through history from Roman times to meeting the Metallica band in a bar after their concert in the Verona Arena. If Eugenio was your history teacher in high school you would no doubt be a lover of history today - deep in the details yet supremely amusing. Don't miss this experience!
Eugenio is a great guide! We were a group of ten and everyone was able to hear and be engaged. He has great knowledge of the history and pointed out so many interesting spots! He was patient (we stopped a couple of times to get pizza and gelato) and he later suggested a great place for dinner too. Overall a great experience!
We had an amazing walk through the city, learning so much about the art, architecture and history of Verona. I highly recommend doing this tour on your first fay on Verona, as it will help you settle in. Well done Eugenio. Thank you
Eugeno was fantastic at making us discover his city and showing us lots of things we would have missed without him. We really enjoyed the tour and had a great time with Eugeno.
Not just a guided tour, more like being shown the sites by a friend of the family who happens to be a professor in Verona.
I had a great tour of Verona with Eugenio. His knowledge of the history, art and buildings of Verona was fantastic and the three hours passed very quickly. I recommend him without any hesitation. It was a great way to get my bearings in the city and decide what I wanted to go back and spend some more time visiting.
This is a very interesting, informative and pleasant walking tour of the beautiful city of Verona. We were able to take our time, enjoying the city, while learning about its history and architecture. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to spend a few hours getting to know Verona.
I recommend a guided tour of Verona with this guide to anyone visiting. There's nothing better than an art historian who grew up in Verona and understands it in all its nuances from the smallest details of its beautiful architecture, culture to its rich history from the Roman Empire to today. We strolled through the center of this beautiful city and I was captivated by the wealth of details my guide shared with me. Even though I've visited the city many times over the past year, this guided tour allowed me to rediscover Verona again... 🤩✨🥳
What a treat! I was so lucky to have experienced Verona, not only with a local but with someone who brought honesty and wit to his game. Looking at this beautiful and tragic city through Eugenio’s lens made me fall in love and be heartbroken all at once; as I learned about the sad truths of its history. Plus, Eugenio was so accommodating! He allowed me to reschedule with little notice. If you are visiting Verona and wish to make the most of it, look no further: Eugenio should be your tour guide! Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Lots of history here in Verona. Eugenio our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was very pleasant.
The most informative, interesting, entertaining tour of Verona. We learned about the treasures, the hidden secrets, the history and current affairs. Eugenio was the most wonderful guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about history and art. He has a wonderfully fun personality with a great sense of humor and is easy to talk to. He made our day very special.
Great tour and guide, well versed in the history and culture of Verona and Italy. Spent the morning on a cultural tour (I was the only one) My guide is an art historian graduate and he (was paid to) name drop (Giribaldi, Dante, 5 or so Roman emperors, 10 or so Popes and others). Also showed some arcane (always interesting) and important art and architectural items. How much religious pedagogy and iconography does one need to interpret religious art? Seems endless!
Very knowledgeable and personable guide. Would highly recommend him. It was a very enjoyable and informative tour.
the tour was so informative interesting and fun! he answered all my questions in detail and thoughtfully personalized the tour to the interests of the group. Also provided so many recommendations. This tour is great for those interested in the little details and wanting to see and learn about verona
Great tour with lots of insights on the city. Recommended for those who look for a more personalised and intimate tour of the city. You will learn about the most essential historical events and the history of art of this magnificent city, but also- depending on your interests- can get a lot more information and experience some of the gems of the city, known by the locals.
Evgeniy is fantastic! He was funny and knowledgeable and our tour was great! Evgeniy also had wonderful recommendations for places to eat and less-crowded churches and historic spots to visit in town. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Didn’t show with slight rain..waited at meeting point, left messages for tour guide. No response..need to update meeting point with construction near gate.
Eugenio was a very warm, knowledgeable, and attentive tour guide. I really appreciated that he didn’t cancel on me especially since it was just me on the tour (others tour guides canceled on me). This was the 3rd and last tour I did in Verona so a lot of info overlapped, but Eugenio did his best to share new info and even offered different perspectives about what I had heard from other tours. Note that some of the churches were closed when we were doing the tour due to weddings and other events.
Exploring Verona through this tour was a wonderful experience! It was well-paced and filled with facts and captivating stories that truly brought the city's history and culture to life. If you have a curiosity and a love for learning, I highly recommend this tour!
Evgeny (Eugenio) was a phenomenal tour guide. His knowledge of the city was incredibly in depth down to minute historical details. He even informed me of some local upcoming events, concerts, etc along with future plans for the city. His suggestions for places to eat were very helpful as well. I could not be more happy.
Wonderful experience with a fun guide! Eugenio was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Made few good restaurants suggestions as well. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide was great, providing both historical and local perspective. He showed us many things we had walked by but his explanation helped ring them to life. He referred to it as a walk amongst friends…it was.
Tour guide was very well informed! Shared interesting tidbits about a lot of things . Eugene was very well educated in language, history, and art which was a perfect combo of skills as a tour guide!
The day before the tour, my guide emailed asking if I could change the time from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. I did not notice the email until the morning of the tour. I responded saying that I could meet him in the morning, but sometime after 10:00. He agreed. While I was on the train going from Venice to Verona, he emailed to say I could either meet him at 10:00 a.m. or 6 p.m. Neither time was possible for me. So I wandered around Verona without a guide or a plan.
After a confusing mix up we were able to go on this tour the next day. Our very knowledgeable tour guide showed us very interesting highlights of the city and shared historical insights. We were fortunate to have a guide with a deep understanding of the art, history and culture of Verona. We ended up with a private tour lasting several hours and appreciated our guide accommodating our interests and needs as well as the fascinating hidden in plain sight art and architectural stories.
We absolutely loved this tour. There was so much more detail about Verona tha0n we expected and it was delivered in a professional but informal way. We learnt loads about Verona which we would not have known otherwise. Our guide was brilliant. Not to be missed.
Our guide and his excellent information. We were impressed with historical information and stories. His name is Eugene
Our guide was great and his degree in arts and literature was amazing as his attention to accuracy was fabulous. He was able to give not only the historical information but the political and financial impacts during the centuries. We had time for a drink along the way which was great due to the heat. Juliette balcony was towards tje end however full of tourist. The balcony is for tourist as the balcony is all wrong. Our tour could talk through all the fresco paintings and it was incredible. They tell a story or a picture of values and morals.
This was a very interesting waking tour. If you would like to know the history of Verona, this is the tour four you. Verona has too much to offer besides the house of Juliet and this tour will open your eyes in order to see it.
A wonderful and informative tour. The guide was kind enough to pick us up from the hotel and show us around the city whilst supplying us with a wide variety of knowledge.
We had a wonderful time exploring Verona with Eugenio, and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful city! He was very communicative and accommodating leading up to the tour, and his thorough knowledge and love for Vero a was evident throughout the experience. 5 star tour guide!
Eugenio was great, we really enjoyed the tour and all the hidden secrets and history of the place he shared with us.
Detailed and humorous insight into Verona’s history. Evgeniy, was great - we ended up having a private tour . He helped us see what most tourists miss! A bit different to most follow the typical ‘follow the umbrella’ tour, Thanks for a great morning - the restaurant recommendations hit the spot!
Although I enjoyed seeing the various landmarks once the tour started, I found the experience disorganized. First, when I purchased the tour I had no idea what time to show up because the ticket didn't say, nor did the description. Second, the location to meet was difficult to find, somewhat obscure. Our tour operator seemed rushed, often checking his phone. He shared personal information and opinions, using language which was not appropriate for conducting a tour. He even asked if he could smoke. At the end of our tour he rushed off and commented that if I can't place a good review then "don't bother." Verona is beautiful, but the tour didn't meet my expectations for learning the history of the city.
Great experience!!! Eugenio went above and beyond!! His passion for history really showed in his tour. He is extremely knowledgeable and knew so much! Took us to numerous sights throughout Verona. He also picked us up from the train station so we wouldn't get lost. Great experience!!! Would recommend to others!
If you want a boring tour, then this is not for you! We had so much fun & our guide was so funny and honest - he showed us every nook and cranny that held meaning to Verona - things you might not spot on your own. He answered every question we had (but since he explained every detail, we didnt have many) and while the tour took 3 hours, it didn't seem so long, since our guide made it fun the whole time! Honestly, this is a must-do for a first visit in Verona (and if we visis again, we will book a tour again!) Thank you for showing us the beautiful city Verona and all of its hidden secrets! :)
Customized for me and my orations. Appreciated having things pointed out I would otherwise not have noticed on Verona!
Informal and informative tour! A lot of history of Verona and the region shared throughout the walk and stops.
This tour touched on the major sights. We also did a food tour which covered many of the same spots so no need to do both.. but this was a good choice.
This tour was so informative and brought the city to life for us, allowing us to make the most of the 3 days we spent in Verona. Eugenio showed us the obvious and the not so obvious attractions and his colourful, passionate and excellent use of English made the tour so enjoyable and memorable.
We were offered 3 times although there was no option to pick a specific one so we opted for the 12:00. We took a train from Mestre to Verona only to get word after arriving that the host was only doing a 0930 tour that day. I have used Viator in various countries and states and always had a good experience until now. There needs to be a better system to ensure customers aren’t left with last minute notification of changes and a disappointing trip
Very disappointed when the tour guide canceled on me only an hour before the tour was to begin. This gave me no time to schedule with another. Nor was another guide offered or recommended. He even failed to respond to my request for the following day.
Our guide was so friendly, accommodating, so knowledgeable. He went over and above in every way even though the temperature was 35deg. Highly recommend this tour
We had an amazing experience touring with Eugenio. He brought to live history of Venice and engaged us in journey. He has extensive historical and literary knowledge that made our day and created a long lasting memory. He patiently answered all our questions and made our experience in Verona unforgettable.
Eugenio was an excellent Verona tour guide. Due to some issues with schedules, our tour had to be moved later in the day and he was very good about working out the details. The time actually worked better for us and because of the change, it turned out that our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) got a private tour of Verona. We all really enjoyed Eugenio's lively tour and he definitely hit all the highlights of Verona with many stories of the history of each site. He even showed us his favorite places for gelato and wine. This tour was a highlight of our trip it Italy and made Verona one of our favorite stops during our trip.
Our tour guide was very smart and very knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate with his craft. He went above and beyond to make out tour fun and informative. We learned a lot from him. I would definitely recommend him.
Excellent tour guide {Eugene) very knowledgeable & extremely passionate about the history of Verona. I shall recommend this tour to friends
The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the beautiful city of Verona and it’s history
Our tour guide was the best part about the trip. His knowledge and genuine excitement while talking about the city was amazing Highly recommend this tour because of Eugenie. We felt like we were a group our friends wondering around the city. Got to learn the about the tales and story’s about the city, as well as the facts to go along with them :)
