Francesco was warm, friendly, engaging with a huge depth of knowledge of the history and culture of Verona. He was able to make a small group tour interesting for adults and teenagers alike. He even managed to take in his stride our late arrival by 10 mins due to a parking problem we had when we arrived in the city.
I would definitely recommend this tour. It’s not cheap but was well worth the money.
Highly enjoyable.

Francesco was onze gids, een zeer gepassioneerde en fiere Italiaan. Hij spreekt super snel, is erg grappig en kent de stad erg goed. Mooie stukjes gezien, goede tips gekregen. Aanrader! Echter 3h is veel te kort om deze knappe stad te bezoeken, wij komen zeker terug!Verona is prachtig, geweldig knappe stad

We originally booked a food tour but the host canceled. We ended up booking something different (this tour) with the request to add some food stops. The didn’t leave feeling confident and we tried to cancel the tour the day before but they wouldn’t accommodate us. Really disappointed especially after the original tour guide cancelled on us. Would not recommend with locals to anyone after this.Unable to cancel

Maria is a knowledgable and cheerful guide. We learned a lot. This tour is good for people who can’t walk a lot or walk long distances as many stories are shared sitting in the sun on a bench.
Only downsides are she took several phone calls during our tour and we were never offered a drink or snack as advertised.

We just returned from an amazing tour of the Verona area with Virginia and Sara as our guides. Their knowledge of all things Italian is simply perfect...history, local highlights of Verona as well as further away "things not to miss" in the Veneto region, making of Parmesano Reggianno, balsamic vinegar not to be believed all combined to make our visit unforgettable. Virginia's personality made us feel as if we'd also made a friend after spending several days together. You will not regret this experience.amazing time with a great veronese guide

This was our favorite ever wine experience, and we're not new to this. A very well thought out duo of vineyards, including lunch at one to them. Wonderful guide who took the time to understand our preferences, and was a joy to spend the day with.

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

Maria Pia was a wonderful guide for our multi-generational group of 5. She told us great stories about the history of Verona. She made sure we kept a walking pace that was good for us while still seeing as much as possible. She was so much fun and made our first day in Verona so memorable. We absolutely recommend this tour with Maria Pia. Verona with Maria Pia

Wir kamen - aufgrund der gleichzeitig stattfindenden Mille Miglia - zu spät. Maria Pia hat ganz selbstverständlich auf uns gewartet und uns auch - wegen der Absperrung- an einem anderen Ort getroffen. Danach hatten wir sehr viel Vergnügen mit ihr. Lebhafte Geschichten, viel Wissen, gute Erklärungen. ..und ein gutes Englisch. Mein Besuch ist aus Kanada.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Nachmittag!Historie, sehr vergnüglich vermittelt

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
