My husband and I took the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Verona tour with Francesco last week. Francesco was very informative and gave us a good overview of the city. We only spent one afternoon in the city - it was a great way to make sure we saw the highlights. Good Introduction to Verona

Francesco took us on an extremely enjoyable tour of Verona. He shared with us his knowledge and passion as well as bringing to life the rich history of Verona. Verona is an amazing city and Francesco revealed hidden gems to us that we could not have found on our own. We will definitely return to Verona and book another tour with Francesco and we highly recommend him as a tour guide.Verona Highlights tour with Francesco

Our experience with Francesco was absolutely exceptional! From the moment the tour began, it was clear that he was not just knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the history and culture of Verona. One of the highlights of the tour was going 'under the streets'. The tour was well-organized, on time, and filled with great recommendations for places to visit later on our own. We would highly recommend Francesco to anyone visiting Verona.'Under the streets of 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

What a way to start a walking tour - thunderstorms in Verona. But any concerns about the background weather were soon swept away by Francesco's bright and enthusiastic love and admiration for his city and his ability to share it all with us. While the rain dampened down, Francesco's engaging stories about Verona didn't. He not only led us through, and demonstrated evidence of, the history of the city (including a visit to a department store to show us the ruins of portion of an ancient Roman wall within the shop, explaining to us how many Roman towns had been "built over" through the centuries), but also related the true stories behind the tales of Romeo and Juliet and the powerful families of the city and their contributions to the history of Verona. Starting with a visit to the Roman arena, an amphitheatre still in use for concerts today, through seeing evidence of some of Napoleon's time in the city, visiting the market, discussing how the City has rules to maintain its unique architecture and appearance and ending up with the (not so old) tourist attraction of Juliet's balcony, Francesco kept us interested and informed throughout the whole tour. A walking, enlightening tour not to be missed! Hidden Gems shone despite thunderstorms

This was my 1st time in Verona, so a private walking tour was essential. Francesco provided more than we could ask for. His knowledge and history of his city, along with his passion made our tour an 11 on a scale of 1-10. I would highly recommend Francesco. Just Amazing Time!

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

Francesco (Frenk) made our day trip to Verona one of the most memorable portions of our trip. Reached out ahead of our arrival to see if there was anything in particular we wanted to see, sent clear instructions on where to meet, and was very promt. Met at a cafe prior to the tour to get to know us, our interests, and expectations for the day so he could customize the tour. Was fantastic with kids which is always a huge plus!!!Amazing Day in Verona

He perfectly adjusted the tour to our needs and preferences but he didn’t missed to point out some real important things to himself, that he wanted us to know. It felt like walking Verona with a friend. And we really enjoyed every minute with him.An enthusiastic visit to the city of love.

First, I want to thank you, Francesco, for the fantastic time we spent together, his attitude, enthusiasm, and knowledge of history, architecture, food, wine, and everyday life. He is a true son of Verona and a true Italian. When you are coming to Verona for the first time there are many expectations what it will be, but I heard many time that visitors didn't find feeling of Verona. If you want to get this special feeling of Verona, I highly recommend taking a tour with Francesco. He is a patriot of Verona and will show you things you can't even find in tour guides; you will see honest Verona and how locals see and feel it. 10 of 10 no other comments, I just want to return to Verona and explore more see other things, like explore wine and food culture more. Garzie Fancesco, see you soon again.Fall in love with Verona

Wij hadden een tour door Verona met Francesco, vanwege het warme weer konden we 1,5 uur eerder starten met de tour. Francesco was daar zeer flexibel in, hadden goed contact via mobiel. Hij reageerde steeds snel. De tour was interessant. Francesco informeerde naar onze interesse en kon zodoende de tour personaliseren. Hij wist erg veel van de stad, was super vriendelijk en vroeg steeds of het nog naar onze wensen verliep. Wij kunnen Francesco van harte aanbevelen. Een vriendelijke man, die erg veel van zijn stad houdt en er heel veel over kan vertellen. Het was een bijzondere ervaring en highlight van ons bezoek aan Verona.Francesco is the best!!

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

We had no idea of the extent of Roman structures that still remain in Verona and Frenk explained them all. He is a true Veronese and has a great enthusiasm for his city.

Francesco was an absolutely wonderful guide! His passion for Verona, its history and its culture was evident. He made the experience tailored around our family, especially my 10 year old’s interest in Ancient Roman history and took us to amazing places we could have never found ourselves. We—adults and children—were fascinated by the historical explanations. Francesco did a great job engaging our children—they said he was kind, funny and answered all of their questions—stellar review from the whole family! Great for the whole family!
