A Guided Tour of Verona We Thoroughly Enjoyed Every Minute - The day started right on time with our host meeting us at the front entrance to our apartment building. We began by driving to the high point of Castel San Pietro to overview old Verona and identify its famous buildings, landmarks and the city layout and hear about its history starting from ancient times. From there we went to the Valpolicella wine region and to a world class winery for wine tasting and a light lunch. We then drove to a small village giving a high vantage point to view the southern region of Lake Garda. There we had an expresso sitting in the piazza with Lake Garda and the southern Italian Alps filling our view. Following that we drove to a couple of villages on the lake and enjoyed walking beside the lake in the afternoon sunshine feeling the fresh breeze coming off the mountain waters. Our host was passionate for his city, its past, its industry, and its surrounds and we enjoyed hearing the information and history he explained to us.

Wonderful day - Alessandro was excellent. We wanted to see the lake and learn a little of its history, and we were expecting a standard tour with a couple of stops. We got much more than that. Alessandro took us on a very personal tour, stopping at unusual spots that are significant to him. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour much more informative, meaningful…and fun! Beautiful scenery, tasty food and drink, engaging history and culture lessons. Highly recommended!

A walk into the past. - Great tour guide and a beautiful location to visit. Isabela, was able to customize the trip for us as we were not interested in spending time doing the wine tasting.

Personable guide and interesting itinerary resulted in a really worthwhile trip. Thank you very much! - The trip included a brilliant visit to a local vineyard where we gained a real insight into wine cultivation and processing, included the opportunity to taste several excellent wines. We reluctantly left this beautiful countryside to visit several small and picturesque towns and villages as well as the magnificent ruins of a Roman villa overlooked by the mountainous backdrop to Lake Garda. Before travelling back to our Verona hotel we sat in the sun outside a small harbourside cafe enjoying iced drinks and homemade ice cream. A fitting conclusion to a most pleasant day. Big 'thank you' to Isabella our guide for hosting this very pleasant trip.

Outstanding Trip - This was our third tour with locals and have been very happy with each. Isabel\u2019s picked us up and then took us to many locations throughout the Garda Lake and Volpolicelli area. Started with a wine tasting with one of the winery owners who is 6th generation family owners. Great information in casual setting with great tasting wines.\nMoved into Garda Lake where we made various sites for lunch and scenery . Isabella was very informative and attentive to what we were interested in seeing.\nHighly recommend booking a tour with Isabella and Tour with Locals you won\u2019t be disappointed.

Great city escape - This was a great tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to great towns along the lake. We also really enjoyed the wine tasting at a family winery. Can highly recommend this trip.

Verona with Alessandro - BEST DAY - We only had one full day in Verona and I am so glad we booked a private tour with Alessandro. We all felt like we got to experience the most we could and more in the day we were there! Would highly recommend!

Good but not great. - Izabella was a very good guide and knowledgeable about the region but the vehicle was cramped and the itinerary was not as advertised.

Shambokic Communication & Servuce - We booked this trip for $530 dollars through you the day before. That night before the guide from a company called “with locals” told us it had been cancelled. I replied asking for info and, if not happening, a refund, and got no reply. We arranged something else for the day in question. With Locals then contacted us at 0850( 10 minutes before the original planned time) the next day to say they had rescheduled. We were elsewhere and explained what happened. I have written 3-4 emails asking for a full refund with no reply to date. I will be escalating on Monday if I have not heard back satisfactorily. The service and communication throughout has been woeful. We would never book through Trip Advisor again. PLEASE RESOLVE.
