Fantastic way to learn about beautiful Verona. Thank you Sylvia-you were amazing. - Sylvia was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. A fantastic way to delve into the history and culture of such a beautiful city. We loved every minute of this tour - and had the added bonus of our group of 8 friends being the only ones on the tour.
The platters at the end were more than generous and a lovely way to relax after three hours of walking and soaking up the culture.
Thank you Sylvia - absolutely top notch guide. Wonderful.

Beautiful City, Amazing Views. - Wonderful tour with a local. Very interesting with a ride in the cable car. Amazing views over the city. Be warned lots of steps to get back down again. Plenty of time to take things in. It was 36c yesterday. So remember to take water. There is a fountain at the top also to get it for free. Our guide was a lovely lady with 2 sons. (Sorry l can't remember her name). The food and drink is at the end of the tour and was very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. There was only 8 of us on the tour, it was very friendly and lovely to chat and here the different experiences.

A must-do in Verona! - Really great tour! Monica was a great guide - Very knowledgeable, shared so much info and gave us great insight about this beautiful city! You can tell she’s passionate about the city, and showed us nooks and crannies we would’ve never noticed had we walked the streets on our own. Visiting Verona through this tour made us truly appreciate this beautiful city to which we would love to return to and spend more time. And the food and local wine were delicious and plenty for a ‘light snack’! Great way to end the tour! Definitely recommend!
