Magical Verona - The four of us had an excellent tour with Alessandra. This was Alessandra’s first week and she is a natural guide. Knowledgable, informative, friendly and helpful. We had coffee and pastries, wine and polpette, risotto and wine in a beautiful restaurant, wine tasting at Baraldi and the most amazing gelato. Thank you to everyone who made this morning so much fun.

Brilliant! Very personal and informative - We did the tour on 15th March when we visited Verona for our wedding anniversary. We were lucky that it was before the rush of visitors (Easter to October) and we had the tour to ourselves! We were shown across Verona, ate great food and drank lovely wine. Our guide was brilliant and gave us so much information which we used on our second full day to maximise our stay. Genuinely impressed and we would 100% recommend it. Thank you!

A genuine taste of Verona. - We had a great few hours with Isabella around Verona learning a lot about the food, wine, culture and language of Italy and Verona. The pace of the tour was suitably relaxed allowing us plenty of time to eat and drink like Italians. I recommend this tour.

Food and Wine tasting with Priscilla - The food and wine tasting tour was incredible. Our guide Priscilla was very friendly and knowledgeable of Verona and the unique delicacies it delivers. The local food was beautiful and the wine tasting was to die for. I would recommend highly to anyone looking to do a food and wine tour of Verona!

Charming and entertaining experience - We absolutely loved our Verona walking tour! Our guide Stefan was amazing, very kind, and genuinely seemed to take an interest in all 6 of us that were on the tour. We went to at least 5 different places to try food and wine, learning about the history of some of the towns attractions while we did. Stefan didn’t move too quickly which allowed us to really enjoy each part of the tour. He told us this wasn’t even the tour he normally did, but he did an amazing job. We booked this last minute the night before as the tour we did have booked canceled with no explanation, but we’re glad they did because this tour was great. I would absolutely recommend doing this tour while you’re in Verona— a highlight of our trip!

Mediocre - We have done several of these food tours around Europe and this was the least good - the guide was pleasant but not very knowledgeable about the city and the places chosen for food stops were very variable - the wine shop and the risotto place were excellent but the other stops were uninspired
