Juliet stuns in Verona - Get there early and buy tickets in advance to walk the house. Great visit though! Crowded so be ready to jump up on the statue bc there is no rhyme or reason so to get up there.

Enjoyable 2hour walking tour of Verona. - A fantastic 2hour walking tour of Verona. Small group of 12 and our guide, Isabella, was extremely knowledgeable and great fun to listen to. Thoroughly recommend as this gives you a great introduction to the sights of Verona which you can revisit at your own leisure.

Great overview of Verona - We had not been to Verona before, so this walking tour provided a great overview of the City touching on some of the main highlights. Priscilla was a fantastic guide sharing her extensive knowledge with enthusiasm and humor. We didn't realize the extensive history in Verona, and she presented that in a compelling way. I wish we had booked the longer tour with her to go into the arena too, but we also had to get on the road for the Dolomites. This is a small thing, but it was helpful for Priscilla to wear the light pink top so it was easier to follow her in the crowd (and the neon green folder was distinctive too). Great tour!

Amazing Guide - Guide was incredible, and is what made the experience. Was comprehensive and covered most of the sights, plus guide informed me of what I should see based on my interests. Was short, but perfect taste of what I needed to go back to or see in-depth.

Excellent walking tour - Maria was an excellent guide. Very knowledgable. Explained everything in great detail. I have spoken with other people who done a walking tour with their holiday company and they didn’t see half of what I saw. Well worth the fee paid, walk was at a comfortable pace and overall, had a great experience.
