About This Adventure
Explore the enchanting city of Verona on a private walking tour, where romance and history intertwine. Discover iconic sites like Juliet's house, the Roman Arena, and picturesque squares, while enjoying stunning views along the Adige river. Experience the poetic charm of this ancient city, rich in stories and breathtaking scenery.
There’s a lot you can see on a walking tour in this very compact city! Juliet, the squares, the Arena: don’t miss our private guided tour of Verona, fully embraced by the Adige river: romantic atmosphere, minute proportions of the houses and a poetic quality so well described by the Bard.
Along the way we stop to see:
the Roman Arena Piazza Bra’ Juliet’s house Piazza Erbe Piazza dei Signori Arche Scaligere Mercato Vecchio courtyard
In ancient Roman times, the city of Verona received its chess-board fabric and was adorned with the Arena, the world’s best preserved Roman amphitheater that today still provides its spectators with hours of good music and entertainment.
The visit also includes the 14th century house of Juliet, a lovers’ venue and a very popular stop: in everyone’s mind Verona is linked to her image and her sad love story.
Another 14th century attraction is the bizarre “Arche” of the Della Scala family, namely the stone lace structures pointing up to the sky that still harbor suspicions and mysteries. Along the way you see three main squares that have maintained their peculiar and very popular, aristocratic or institutional character throughout the centuries.
To enhance your city experience with a derivé along and out of the Adige riverbanks and beyond “the obvious”, we enjoy some of the views and sceneries of the green hills and the ancient bridges.

Start early to avoid crowds
Morning tours often see fewer visitors, offering a more relaxed experience at popular sites like Juliet's House.
