Excellent tour with delicious food - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Laura was an excellent guide, full of interesting local tips and information. The timing of the stops were perfect so you never felt too full. The owner of the wine shop was a character who obviously felt very passionate about wine! We sampled several different wines which were all lovely. Highly recommended.

Lots of fun - I was on my own for this walking tour. There were 6 of us plus our knowledgeable tour guide Elena, who made our experience all the more enjoyable. She took our group to a number of places, explaining the traditions of local food as well as a fantastic wine tasting. I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour. Great value for money.

A excellent morning. - Had a great morning with our guide Allisandra. She gave us lots of information about parts of Verona and buildings that we passed as well as information on the food and wine of the area. The food and drinks were very nice - it would perhaps of been nice to have had a choice of dishes at lunch time. I appreciate the significance of the local specialty dish on offer but several members of the group were less keen. Overall though a great event.

Favorite way to see a new city - This has become our favorite way to see a new city and this one in Verona did not disappoint. Alessandra is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide that understands the rich culture of her city. She very much enjoys the wonders of guiding strangers into new experiences. While it seems long, it was the perfect pace and well timed. Make this a tour you don’t miss while in Verona!

Beautiful Verona - What a great tour. Frederica was brilliant. She was so knowledgable about Verona and the venues we drank and ate in were great. Food and wine just perfect. A particular highlight was the main wine tasting in a perfect wine store by the River Adige.
