⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - My wife and I had a walking tour of Verona with Alessandro. We booked it for our first evening in Verona to give us insight into this beautiful city. Alessandro was absolutely fantastic - friendly, informative and flexible. He went “above and beyond “ and gave us lots of great information to allow us to enjoy the city. We would highly recommend Alessandro to anyone visiting Verona - he tailors the tour to suit your needs and interests. We plan on meeting Alessandro again when we visit cities nearby. Amazing Verona Experience

We met Alessandro for a kick start tour of Verona as we were only passing through for one day. His knowledge and enthusiasm for his home city was excellent! He showed us how to navigate the city and highlighted the less touristy spots, bars and restaurants. We also received some recommendations via WhatsApp after the tour. We highly recommend booking with Alessandro!Alessandro was the perfect guide!

Alessandro came up with a fantastic personalised tour of Monte Baldo and its beautiful forests and mountain scenery and then we went along the shoreline of Lake Garda. Starting at the dramatically beautiful north end of the lake, down to the more popular and picturesque southern villages. He was informative and friendly and knew the best views, gelato stops, prettiest towns and food spots along the way. If you just put your faith and trust in Alessandro, he will come up with the perfect itinerary for you. I highly recommend him.Great personlised tour!

Alessandro was an incredible guide. He quickly took note of our interests and customized our tour. We got an insider’s view of the city, discovered back alleys, interacted with locals along the way, and got some great tips and info, including a fabulous restaurant recommendation where we later celebrated my wife’s birthday. We really appreciated Alessandro going above and beyond for us. His tour was the highlight of our time in Verona. Alessandro is amazing!

Izabela was fabulous as our guide. We felt like we got to experience Verona in a whole different way. Her history-telling and additions as we walked through Verona were engaging and informative. Would highly recommend her Verona Kickstart tour to get a feel for the city before you venture out on your own. Amazing Experience

Es war ein total verregneter Tag in Verona, aber Maria hat unsere Tour so interessant gemacht, dass das sofort vergessen war. Wir hatten einen spannenden Vormittag in der Stadt voller Geschichte und Geschichten, an den wir noch gerne und lange zurück denken werden. Vielen Dank Maria!Eine tolle Führung durch Verona

Maria Pia had to change our tour time due to an unexpected traffic accident to a colleague. But she accommodated us with an earlier time. The colleague hopefully will make a full recovery. Maria Pia took account that we were a mixed aged group of 5 people from 80 to 11! So she made it interesting for the teenagers and the 11 year old and even the old cynic!! We all learnt something new during our walk around Verona. I would recommend Maria Pia, for her warm fun approach to people and her informative tour. Interesting walking tour by Maria Pia.

If you are fortunate enough to find yourself in the uncommonly beautiful city of Verona, you would be wise to have Maria Pia as your guide. She is an original: animated, entertaining, and full of memorable information you’re not likely to find in a guide book. We give Maria Pia our highest recommendation.Verona Revealed

Alessandro nous a fait découvrir sa ville natale avec beaucoup de détails et de précision historique dans un français remarquable. Notre tour à la découverte de la ville nous a enchantées ma fille et moi et nous lui sommes reconnaissantes de nous avoir aussi recommandé quelques endroits typiques où déguster la bonne cuisine locale. C’était un plaisir de parcourir Vérone à ses côtés et nous aurions volontiers passé la journée avec lui pour en apprendre encore davantage. C’était passionnant et notre balade nous a semblé vraiment trop courte ! Un merveilleux guide

Maria was a fun guide, with great stories (she pretty much performed the entire story of Romeo and Juliet in the park- complete with dramatic swordplay!) She obviously enjoys meeting people and sharing her city. We figured out quickly that she was previously a teacher - lots of facts and full of natural curiosity . A great tour!Verona tour

My goodness, what an experience. First, our guide is the utmost of professionals- she was ill but rather then make us worry, or cancel she found an amazing guide to take her place. Francesco texted us and met us promptly at the Arena. He found tidbits of information that were so interesting and kept the children thoroughly engaged. Francesco was a master story teller- and the love for his city shined brightly through his tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see beneath the surface- both literally and figuratively!Verona is more then meets the eye

Wir hatten die Tour „Kickstart Verona“ ursprünglich mit Fabio Massimo gebucht. Eine Woche vorher hat man uns informiert, dass statt Fabio nun Maria Pia die Tour durchführen würde. Also erwarteten wir sie am vereinbarten Treffpunkt. Stattdessen sprach uns dann eine junge Frau namens Maria an und erklärte ohne Angabe von Gründen, dass sie die Tour für Maria Pia übernehme. Sie war sehr freundlich und wusste auch einiges zu erzählen, aber wirkte insgesamt unvorbereitet und so liefen wir etwas planlos herum. Die Tour hatte nur wenig mit der Beschreibung zu tun und war für uns für den bezahlten Preis enttäuschend. Leider nicht so toll

We booked a day trip to Lake Garda and the surrounding area with Alessandro on February 13 25, He was prompt to the hotel and our journey was on. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, it was foggy and drizzly. But Alessandro did his best to keep us entertained. We stopped at several villages and took in the history of the area. We concluded our day trip with a tour of a local Winery, what a great way to finish the day. I would do another tour with Alessandro,he is knowledgeable,courtesy and helpful. Alessandro thank you for a lovely day, we enjoyed ourselves despite the weather.Lake Garda - Verona

I had a last minute oppurtunity to tour Verona and Alex happened to be available. He catered the tour to the flow of questions and time allowance we had. It was a great mix of history, food, and of course he even mixed in some wine. Alex knows his city and wasted no time navigating from one point to another. He even has a few tricks up his sleeve to find access to places that may not be so easily accessible. I had a great time spending the afternoon with Alex and I am sure you will too!Great custom tour

Alessandro was a great guide, with a wealth of knowledge which only comes from someone who grew up here. He showed us unique and historical sites while explaining there cultural significance. The wine and food he recommended was delicious and typical of Verona. He was easy to get along with and his enthusiasm and love for his city was evident. We would highly recommend you take it tour with him as we will when we come back. Insight to Verona

We have been on a lot of tasting tours in various cities. We do it as a way to acclimate ourselves. Alessandro’s tour wasn’t the typical where you eat something, walk a couple blocks, eat something else. He took us out on the town in his city. He showed it to us as a proud son of Verona, imbuing history and coloring it with the personal. We did duck into places to try a nibble here or sit down in one place to try several bites. One eatery he wanted to showcase wasn’t open, but it was okay. He gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay—many of which we tried. His recommendations were spot on. Do yourselves a favor when you come to Verona and book an evening tour with Alessandro. He will set you up for success for the rest of your trip.The best first night in Verona

Our tour guide was not available on the day, but sent another “Maria” in her place which was kind of her. Our Maria was an absolute delight from the moment we met her. We learned so much about the history of Verona, from the Romans to the families who influenced the culture and customs under various rulers and factions. Her manner was charming and made all the details more like “fun facts”. Would highly recommend this tour and if you’re fortunate enough to encounter “Maria” that will be a bonus. Thank you Denise and SallyWonderful Experience

We met Alessandro on a very rainy day for a tour of Verona. He took us to some amazing places, including a very old wine shop, fantastic pizza (the best we've had in Italy), and all of the important sites. Alessandro showed us his favorite places in addition to his childhood school. He was very interesting, fun, and knowledgable. We are so happy we got to spend a few hours with him in Verona!Great tour despite the rain!
