Experience this walking tour and learn about the darkest parts of Verona history. You will live some of the most cruel fights held in the Arena, you'll pass the old Jewish Ghetto and you'll hear about the cruel destiny of some of the people who lived there. Then, in Piazza Erbe, we'll undergo the sorrow and pain of the people exposed to the public shame, we'll pass the place where Mastiff I was murdered, reach the arch where the torture instruments were exposed, and then we'll see the Scala family Tombs, the courtyard where dozens of beheaded skeletons were found, and, of course, we'll end with the heart-breaking story of Romeo & Juliet. Be prepared to gasp and cry, to held your breath and feel touched and moved while living the ill-fated, hopeless human tragedies which occurred in the very places we'll be passing by.

The Verona walking tour was so informative and one of our favorite things we did! I was amazed by all the history in Verona that I had no idea about. Our trip to Verona wouldn’t have been the same without Maria and her knowledge of the city. It made us love Verona even more! Maria was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was fun, interactive, personable, interesting…. It was just amazing. She always made sure we were comfortable and took great care of all of us… checking on us throughout the walk. ❤️ I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Definitely book this tour- you’ll love it!

We took the general tour with Francesco and he was absolutely amazing. What he didn’t know about the arena, the old market square, Romeo & Juliet and Dante was not worth knowing! Francesco’s knowledge of and passion for the city, its history and its connections to the wider world over eons of time were exceptional. We were blown away by him and he was extremely generous with his time on the night of his son’s birthday. We hope you had a super night celebrating, Francesco! If you want to get to know the real Verona and you are fortunate enough to be staying longer than the four nights we did, then Francesco’s tour would be an excellent place to start. It could be a fantastic foundation for finding out the aspects of the city you wish to find out more about while you are there. Also, the evening is a perfect time to do the tour, it is cooler and the streets are less busy and there is plenty of time to get a nice meal afterwards.
