Addictive!! - Super positive experience that allowed us to discover the city giving it a deeper meaning thanks to the knowledge and curiosities we were told! Interesting to know Dante s role within the city and his personality that hardly tell us from different points of view. The information arrives loaded with meaning but in a direct accessible way 🙂 recommended as a personal experience that definitely remains as added value! Congratulations

A journey back in time - Visiting Verona walking through the streets and places traveled by the Supreme Poet was fascinating. Leonardo, an expert Guide and a good connoisseur of the history of Verona and Dante himself, was also able to involve us with anecdotes and brief excursions on the main monuments we encountered during the walk. Verona discovered among the historic alleys is fantastic.

Excellent tour, learned a lot - You're a fan of Dante Alighieri? You have never heard of this guy? Doesn't matter! This tour will take you to well known and not so well known places in Verona while you learn about one of the greatest italian poets of the Middle Ages. Our guide, Leo, was nice, very knowledgeable and took good care of us in scorching heat of this day. Thank you, Leo. I can definitively recommend.

Tour Verona Dante - The tour was scheduled in advance a month prior to our trip and when we almost arrived to the meeting point we were called and told the tour guide is not available that day. We were offered different options for ‘sightseeing’ instead of Dante, which is the reason we wanted to go on a tour. We found this a bit unprofessional and offered explanations. The manager of the guide didn’t anounce our tour guide on time and it was some sort of misunderstanding from their side. However eventually tour guide Leonardo came and met us later that day in the city, we had to reorganise all our day and that was a bit frustrating because of the high temperatures and long walks we already had, so overall poor experience but the guide had good energy and stories of Dante while walking us around his most significant places.

Verona History, Minimal Dante - Our tour guide was Alessandra, and she was wonderful! The tour was more historical focused than on Dante per say. The historical aspects of Verona were extremely intriguing, but since I have been teaching Dante for 13 years, I was hoping to hear more focused information on Dante in Verona. Also, we did not see the statue of Dante that is in the image for the tour, which was disappointing. If you are curious about the historical aspects of Verona, then I would definitely recommend. If you are there for Dante, there may be other options. But again, Alessandra was wonderful.

Very bad - Two stars because the guide had to be in Italian and not English. We didn't say anything to the guide out of respect for his job and because in any case it must be carried out in Italian, we shouldn't be the ones to point it out..
