Itinerary
It connects the Verona’s late-medieval castle to the Adige’s left bank. It was almost destroyed in a bombing and later fully rebuilt looking precisely similar to the original one.
It's located in the eponymous medieval castle.
It is an elegant I century AD construction of the Roman architect Vitruvio, that celebrates the glory of the gens Gavia, an important Roman family of Verona.
It was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, in the Augustan period. Still today the Arena is the famous setting for Verona's spectacular opera season.
You will see the courtyard of the Capuleti's house, where the famous protagonist of the Shakespearean tragedy lived.
Romeo's house is a medieval palace in the centre of Verona. Until the early fourteenth century it was the home of the Montecchi family who, according to legends and literary texts, was Romeo's family.The building is private, inhabited, and we can only see it from the outside
It's the largest piazza in Verona, is lined with numerous cafés and restaurants, along with several charming buildings
It's the Scaligeri cemetery. As well as several sarcophagi, we find the three wonderful arches built for Cangrande I, Mastino II and Cansignorio.
It was the Forum, centre of city life during Roman times. The centre of the square contains the monuments that symbolise the different rulers of Verona: the most famous is the fountain, built during Scaligeri rule.
The Piazza dei Signori was the former centre of power in Verona. A large statue by the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri has dominated the square since 1865 and gave the square the nickname “Piazza Dante”.

Maria was a wonderful guide. She knew so many interesting stories, and the whole experience was highly entertaining. One of the best city tours I have ever had. When I return to Verona, I will sign up again. It was that delightful. She really brought so many fabulous tidbits about the city.
The tour exceeded my expectations! Bernaretta, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge and made learning about Verona's rich history both fascinating and fun. A great overview of this compact but mighty city. Highly recommend!
Great experience, full of interesting historical facts and with a friendly guide. However, I think it would be important to remind people that they need to be fit enough to follow a reasonable walking rythm, as we had a lady of a certain age in our group who slowed us down quite a bit.
We just had an excellent walking tour of Verona with Priscilla. She is very knowledgeable, funny and attentive. We were able to extend the tour with the entrance to Arena. Highly recommend the both.
Maria was very knowledgeable and told us a great deal about the history of Verona in a compact and interesting way. We saw details of In depth many monuments we would have missed if we had seen them without a guide. It was a fun and informative tour which I recommend.
Fantastic relaxed 2hr walk with Benadetta, full of information about the history and culture of Verona - stuff you'd never pick up from a guide book. It flew by and gave us taster for places to explore further. Highly recommended.
Booked the small group walking tour. Nice small group size of 7 of us. The guide, Francesco, was excellent. Humorous and full of knowledge of the city of Verona and its history. Pointed out lots of sights that we had missed walking around by ourselves. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.
Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide Benadetta a Verona local. Enough detail at a steady pace although she was able to amend the route to accommodate people’s wishes. Warm and friendly with a great sense of humour which made the tour even more enjoyable.
This was a wonderful tour. The guide was knowledgeable and energetic. We learned a lot about the city. Now that the venue charges to see Juliet’s balcony though it might be nice to include this in future tours.
Our guide Francesco was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and provided a perfect amount of information about Verona.
Frank our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Our 2 hour tour was excellent and I would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone interested in learning more about the beautiful city of Verona
Our tour guide, Maria, gave us an excellent overview of the history of Verona and tied the history to the sites that she showed us. We also very much enjoyed the information about the Verona area
The guide was outstanding, probably the best we’ve ever had. She made the tour.
The walking tour was a fantastic way to learn about Verona and the history of the city, the guide was very informative.
This was an excellent walking tour led by the very knowledgable guide Isabella. She presented the information well and it was easy to understand. The small group meant everyone could hear her too. Highly recommend the walking tour and the extra for the arena tour.
Bring comfortable shoes, water, sunscreen and a hat. Very interesting walk around a very walkable city
£137 for 4 was seriously over priced - I was expecting arena tour to be included for this as previous tours we’ve done you pay a nominal fee and then pay what you think it’s worth at the end but for a pure walking tour with nothing else it was way too expensive
Francesco is one of the best guides i ever met. Knowledgeable, funy, engaging and obviously passionate about the city and its history. Two hours very well spent! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to fall in love with Verona!
Excellent and engaging experience. Our guide was very kind and friendly and happy to answer any questions we had while walking around beautiful Verona.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts. A good range of sights seen and I enjoyed this very much.
The tour is a great, efficient introduction to Verona. It gives a good insight into the history, esp. Verona's Roman roots.j
My tour guide was fantastic and I learned so much about the city and all the little hidden details that I would have never known about otherwise.
Our guide was wonderful- we would have missed so many things if we had done this on our own. Historical context was excellent.
It was difficult to understand the tour guide who was Italian and gave the tour in English. He showed us basic historical sites with a little explanation. You could probably read up on sites to see on your own.
Very nice walking tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide. It is great with a small group of people.
Guide never showed up to the walking tour. Called the office after 15 minutes of waiting, they stated the person had an emergency. It would have been nice for the office to let us know so that we didn’t have to travel to the city for nothing.
Sara was a great guide, full of interesting facts about the history of Verona. She also took good care of the group and was happy to answer our questions. Good tour for getting your bearings.
Very knowledgeable and friendly guide, not only the history,but also the best places to eat.
Torque guy did a great job taking us around Aurora and showing us some very interesting sites and gave us an insight into the history and places that we should go back to.
Franco did a great job showing us around the old town. He made the tour fun and interactive and we learnt a lot. Highly recommended.
Frank has a great knowledge of the history of Verona and was very engaging with our group! He is very personable, polite, informative and has a lovely sense of humour.
The 2 hour walking tour was perfect for our multigenerational group (ages7-70!). Francisco kept our group engaged with his expert knowledge of architecture, history and fun facts. We would highly recommend it … and our guide!
Great way to get to know Verona and some of the history. We got our bearings around the place and could plan our next activities.
The guide provided a great insight into the beautiful City of Verona. The tour covers most of the key sights, but also provides knowledge of what else to see and explore. Worth doing at the start of your stay.
Isabella was fantastic! She had great local knowledge and her enthusiasm was infectious. She brought the history of Verona to life from its roots to present day. Thank you Isabella!
A really informative, fast paced and engaging tour. Frank was a wonderful guide, so passionate about his city and the history behind it!
This was a really pleasant tour led by a Verona native who covered all the basics of the city’s history, culture, and contemporary insights. All done with a wonderful sense of humor.
Francesco was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He encouraged questions and interaction. I highly recommend this tour with him.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-hour tour with Benedetta and two other couples, one from Australia, the other from Germany. Benedetta was delightful. Lots of energy and enthusiasm came through, and she kept the promise of sharing fascinating facts about Verona's storied history. The pace was perfect, the conversation flowed, and all of us had a wonderful experience. This was one of our favorite tours during our 3-week northern Italy adventure. Benedetta is a gem!
Excellent guide. Learnt a lot about Verona's history. Very good tour.
It was enjoyable experience with Priscila, the explanation was clear and interessting. Recommended !
Great experience! We did the walking tour and the arena. Our guides name was Priscilla and she was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Verona. I would highly recommend this tour. We found it well worth the money!
