Description

This is the tour for guests coming to Verona for the first time or for those who whish to have a complete overview of the city with all the highlights in a short time. Designed for everybody, even for children. 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 the riverbanks and beyond “the obvious”, we enjoy some of the views and sceneries of the green hills and the ancient bridges.
