Great tour - A great 2 hour walking tour of Verona. Our guide Andreas was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We walked through and learned about all the interesting sights in Verona, and he gave us lots of ideas of where else to explore. This doesn't include entrance to things like the Arena, but it's a great way to get to know the city and then go back to explore in more detail later on your own.

Great walking tour of Verona - Exceptionally good tour guide for our 2 hour walking tour of Verona. She was articulate, knowledgeable and very funny. I like the smaller group size (12) and the ability to have time to answer questions and provide further insight. Loved it!

Altstadt Verona - Beautiful architecture and old town. There are plenty of sights to discover and everything is within walking distance. In the center around the arena there are plenty of shops and restaurants and invite you to take a stroll.

Good walking tour - Guide good, but not that much to see in Verona ! Saw some pieces of old walls, Julie's house, finishing at the Arena. Guide gave good background on how the City changed through the centuries.

Missed Opportunity - Because of a Trentitalia train delay I missed being at the meeting point for my tour of Verona by 20 minutes. The Viator representative was able to give me the group’s first stop and after that said they had no way to contact the guide. I was unable to find the group at first stop. I find it unacceptable that Viator was unable to communicate with their guide and help me locate the group. As a result, I missed the tour. I was there just for day and not able to sign up for another. To add insult to injury, Viator would not refund me nor would they give any credit toward another tour. I will not be using Viator in the future.
