Fabio was an informative and entertaining guide. He highlighted historical details as we walked along. The route was well planned and we ended up back at the arena after a good loop. I highly recommend fitting this into your itinerary even if you only one day to explore Verona! Ciao

This tour is excellent, especially if you don't have a lot of time in Verona. Fabio is a wonderful guide and story teller who clearly loves what he's doing. If you only have time for one tour and you love a bit of history, this is the tour to be doing.

Fabio’s tour was amazing and one of my favourite ever walking tours. He is so passionate and took us on a journey through the history of his amazing city. I had a great time and highly recommend booking this tour:

The tour was really informative and not the usual tourist-trap. The guide was knowledgeable and he was able to keep my attention and curiosity. Highly recommended!

All the family loved this scavenger hunt. It was fun looking for the clues….up high or looking for Italian letters, spot the differences.
