• 2Make meeting point clear !!

  Have done numerous walking tours in various cities booked through Trip Advisor & always enjoyable Utter shambolic meeting point instructions on this occasion in Prague - 9.30 Sunday morning & the area was not busy - 3 of us arrived 15 mins early & walked round & asked questions of anyone we could find & tried to find group of people or flag or something We then got email saying our guide had left at 9.35 as we were late We were emailing Trip Advisor saying we are here - where is guide !! Fortuitously met solo traveller having same problem for 10am pick up on same walking tour (we’d been due to do the arena prior to others joining) Together we found group in obscure location - who also told us they’d struggled with meeting point Rest of walking trip fine - but spoilt by this frustrating start which was so unnecessary & not what I’ve ever experienced previously

• 5Great Guide! Saw A Lot!

  It is a great way to get an overview of Verona. There is quite a bit of walking but Graciano was patient and flexible to meet all needs!

• 4Overpriced but informative

  It was an informative experience and we learnt a lot about the history of Verona but would have loved to spend more time in the Arena, we only had 10 mins in the actual arena to have a quick look. Juliet’s house was extremely busy and it was very rushed to look through. Was a good day but over priced for what we received as part of our tickets

• 1Avoid this tour!!

  The worst tour I have ever booked! First of all, we had booked an earlier tour and could not find our tour operator. I contacted Viator, as our tour guide has turned off communication. We could have easily caught up. Viator was of no help. We were not offered help in rescheduling or a discount or anything. We rebooked our tour for later and our tour guide was late!! The guide was boring , with poor English. We repeatedly were told of Roman’s, marble, stone, brick and the earthquake of 1117. We stent a few minutes in the arena and we walked…..when we arrived at the venicular, the line was very long! So no skipping the line. We walked up to the palace/castle. We have no idea what it was or of its historical significance. Some in our hours struggled greatly. We went up, took photos and left. We did get to take the venicular down. We skipped Juliet’s because we had had enough. We learned nothing of Verona and were deeply disappointed with the tour and with Viator. It was a deeply disappointing tour that we paid for twice. In future planning, I may skip Viator and go straight to the tour providers. I received nothing for the marked up price.

• 5Great introduction tour to Verona

  Great tour by Mauro. Very clear, entertaining and knowledgeable about Verona's history and culture. The walking tour took us all around the old historic centre, entry to the arena and up the funicular railway to see a great panoramic view of the city from Castel San Pietro. As well as the historical aspect to the tour, we also learned about Verona life and food and drink specialities. There is an option to see Juliet's House too which we decided to leave to another day. It was really enjoyable and we can thoroughly recommend.

About Verona

Verona, in Veneto, is a Roman and medieval city on a loop of the Adige, with a vast arena, Juliet's balcony and Lake Garda close by.

The Adige curves around Verona's old centre, and the city's Roman past is plain to see in the Arena, an amphitheatre of the first century that still stages open-air opera in summer. Piazza delle Erbe, the market square on the old Roman forum, is lined with frescoed houses and has a column topped by the lion of Venice, and the Torre dei Lamberti beside it can be climbed. The historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
