What an amazing experience full of fun facts - This tour was amazing. There was a little bit of moving around with changing our time due to numbers being too high on the tour but I am so glad I agreed to change to a later time as it was just me and my fiancé with an amazing tour guide, Francesco which became like our own private little tour of Verona. Even with just the two of us booked at that time Francesco still went ahead with everything and even threw in a few detours with extra facts and history of Verona. All in all we have a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Francesco was funny, very friendly and very knowledgeable of Verona.

BEST EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME!!! - I had Maria for this tour, and it was everything I wished it would be and more. It’s been a dream of mine to come to Verona and see the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony. Maria just made it all the more enjoyable. She answered any questions I had, she’s super polite and knowledgeable. If I were to ever bring a family member or a friend on this tour, I definitely would want it to be with Maria.

Nice little tour - We thought that it was a really great tour. Our tour guide had a lot of passion and she was really fun. You could tell that she knew her stuff and took pride in showing us Verona. The tour consisted of sightseeing related to the letters to Juliet movie, history of Verona, the story of Romeo and Juliet and the related to sites in the city. Overall, it was a great introduction to the city. Mature was great in terms of piercing in length. We also only had one other person in our group, so the overall group size was just three people and one Tour Guide.
