The Tour is a dinamic gastronomic walk through the streets of the historic center of Verona with great gourmet stops in old food shops, deli, wine bars and cafés, involving lunch. Guests will follow me (Professional Tour leader and sommelier) admiring the monuments and narrow historic streets, tasting typical Veronese dishes: from classic cheeses and cold cut appetizers to freshly made BIGOLI pasta, or an other local main course (depends in the season), and more gastronomic delights, all paired with delicious local wines, providing so many tastings that it can be considered a FULL LUNCH. During the tour, you will make some very unconventional stops (old Roman ruins/terrace with amazing views ). It is also included a ride on the CABLE RAILWAY to the most romantic view in Verona. There's even artisan organic ice-cream ( or our veronese Christmas pudding) at the end in order to fully respect the Italian tradition. The tour can be considered a full lunch and you will have two tours in one: a nice walking tour of Verona with a local tourist guide combined with a food and wine itinerary. This is a must-do culinary experience in Verona!! Other things to note IF YOU ARE A SOLO TRAVEL AND YOU DON'T SEE ANY OTHER RESERVATIONS, PLEASE JUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING THE EXPERIENCE.

Stroll through Verona's city centre together with your real local expert (educated and licensed in Verona!) and discover its main sights and its most suggestive corners! We'll do it by following a logical thread that will allow us to go through our path as if we were reading the script of an intriguing film plot. Indeed, the story is precisely the history of Verona, which unfolds for more than 2000 years, and has chapters such as the Roman and Medieval ages to its credit, very well represented by numerous and magnificent monuments, all deserving to be discovered and properly explained for full appreciation. Special attention will be given to the most crucial chapter: that of the two star-crossed lovers. And even in this respect, your knowledge will progress as you get plenty of anecdotes (secrets actually) unveiled.

We'll start with the incredible Arena, a Roman amphitheater older than the Colosseum and still used today! Then, we'll continue along Via Mazzini, where most tourists notice the beautiful shops, but where we'll notice details and unique stories. We will then enjoy the lively Piazza Erbe, with its market and its picturesque buildings, and Piazza dei Signori, considered "the living room of Verona" for its elegance. In its buildings you can read all the history of Verona: the remains of the Roman city, the first 12th century Romanesque town hall, the first residence of the Scala family (XIV century), the 15th century Loggia di Frà Giocondo, the lions of San Marco placed by the Venetians when the city was annexed to the Serenissima and then chiseled away by Napoleon's troops, the Statue of Dante erected to reaffirm our Italian culture and language in the Austrian era, and finally the entry into the kingdom of Italy: all the history of Verona enclosed in this single Piazza! After having also seen the Scala family Tombs (the monumental tombs of the Lords of Verona), we'll pass to the neighboring medieval inner courtyards, as suggestive as only the ancient corners can be, and we'll finally end with the famous Casa di Giulietta, with its balcony and the statue of Juliet, among the most visited single monuments in the whole world.
