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

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.

He was very flexible and wanted to tailor the tour so we got the most from it. His recommendations have been very helpful.

We were looking forward to experiencing the local food culture of Verona, but unfortunately, this tour didn’t quite meet our expectations. While our guide, Alessandro, was kind and personable, the tour felt more like a general walk through the city’s history rather than a curated culinary experience.
The tastings were limited—just gelato, pizza, affogato, and a small wine sample—far fewer than the 10 tastings we were expecting. Additionally, it didn’t feel like the stops were pre-planned or coordinated with the food venues, which took away from the sense of a well-organized experience.
We’ve done food tours in other cities that felt more immersive and thoughtfully put together, with a stronger focus on local specialties. While Verona is a beautiful city with so much to offer, we were hoping for a deeper dive into its unique food culture.
With some adjustments and more attention to the culinary aspect, this tour could become a great experience. As it stands, we felt it didn’t quite deliver the value we had hoped for.Friendly guide but disappointing food tour

Andrea was an excellent and delightful tour guide in Verona. He met us at a cafe near the Arena and gave us an in depth background of the history of the city. He then proceeded to lead us in seeing all the city highlights. He was patient with our questions and the varying paces of our diverse group which ranged from 87 years old to 22. Not only did Andrea give us a comprehensive tour of the beautiful city of Verona but he ended by giving us many helpful suggestions for other places to visit in the vicinity, plus excellent restaurant recommendations. Andrea is obviously passionate about history, art history, and the city itself. I would highly recommend Andrea if you’re looking for your perfect guide in Verona. Excellent Tour Guide in Verona

Alessandro was an amazing host in Verona. He met us close to our rental and took us through all the highlights of the city. It was hot but we didn’t mind because the history and beauty of the city came to life. He gave us great tips for dinner and we had the most amazing ice cream in the world!! We even got to see the best tortellini maker in the world - who is his friend. We are so glad we made a stop in Verona! We will be back!!We love Verona!!

I booked the tour as a birthday present and could not be happier! Cris went out of her way to customise the experience, showing some gems of the beaten path as we've been to Verona before, and even crafted a birthday balloon! It was really really nice, I can only recommend the tour and especially Cris as a guide!!Amazing Tour with Cris

If you are considering it, do it! Alessandro was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge about the local area and food. Often sharing where he would go and what he would eat - great recommendations! We spent three hours with Alessandro on one of the hottest days of the year so far. The Affogatos were a great way to start the tour. We loved the tapas style lunch and local wines and oils to try. Gelatos, cannoli, granitas all appreciated too! All the information related to historical Verona through the ages and how it has become the beautiful, eclectic city it is now. Never rushed, Alessandro became part of our group of 6 walking around the city. He tailored the food and tour to our questions, likes and requests … but also added far more than we expected! Thank you so much Alessandro. We will definitely consider enjoying another personalised experience like this on our future travels. Fantastic Experience in Verona

We had a great time with Alessandro- a pleasure to spend time with. He grew up in Verona and we did a sweeping tour of the old city. He knows the town, the history and all its eateries very well. Great sense of humor. He customized the tour for us. Would recommend Alessandro for a tour of history, culture and sight seeing. Grazie!It doesnt get more local.

Andrea is an immensely knowledgeable and entertaining guide. An art history specialist, he also has an encyclopedic knowledge of Northern Italian history, food, architecture and the nuances of Italian and Veronese language. Andrea was also very helpful before and after the tour, providing suggestions of places to eat and visit and informing us of a train strike. Andrea has excellent English. Illuminating Tour

A plate of not very good pasta and 2 glasses of wine did not live up to the 10 tastings promised. More knowledge from the guide about what was open on Easter Monday would have helped. Saw some interesting parts of Verona but a disappointing tour overall More of a history than a food tour

We were fortunate to book a tour of Verona with Alessandro recently. Him being born and raised in Verona provided us with an intimate glimpse into what Verona is all about. Having studied and worked in the US his command of the English language was perfect. At every turn of the tour he provided fascinating information regarding our next encounter, such as the meaning of the crenels on bridges and buildings. he also made sure we were introduced to the local food. We chose affogato and bruschetta and his choices of where to go and enjoy it was "perfecto". Alessandro was very informative and yet down to earth and relatable. We have already recommended him to friends who are planning to visit the area. He is a wonderful ambassador for Verona! Hidden Treasures in Italy

We spent some wonderful hours with Andrea walking but mainly talking (due to the rain) about Verona, it's fascinating history and it's interactions and relationships with other cities in Italy. Andrea's knowledge was immense and well communicated. We followed up on his recommendations for further visits to churches and museums and especially restaurants with great success. He really set up our whole visit to Verona. Highlights and Hidden Gems of Verona

I always read these reviews and think "it's a bot, or paid advertising", so let me start by saying I'm neither. Just a traveler from another country trying to have the best experience possible in Italy and Alessandro made that happen. Before even meeting he was extremely helpful in finding locations and restruants in near by cities and helping to navigate certain aspects that may be confusing for a foreigner.
For our tour, sadly it was a rainy day, but it didn't stop us. He expertly guided us through the beautiful city of Verona pointing out things that anyone but a local would miss. Sharing stories of his personal past along side historic facts that were awe inspiring. He is truly a man of the people, everywhere we went we bumped into locals he knew and shared a laugh (and even a glass of wine). To put it plainly, we started with the best hot chocolate we've ever had, ended with the best pasta we've ever had and everything between was absolute perfetto!! Thank you again Alessandro, may your days be long and your wine glass always full. Perfetto!!!!

We had a wonderful day with Alessandro. It was an easy tour from the beginning. He picked us up at our hotel (right on time) and off we went into the countryside! He took the time to show us several beautiful spots along the way to Lake Garda. The winery at the end was really lovely. We got to meet the owners and it felt very special.
We are on our way to Venice and he sent us some recommendations for that stay as well! It was a wonderful day and I recommend him very highly!

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.

Our guide ,Manuel, was super accomodating, helpful and knowledgable and made us enjoy our day trip to Verona. The restaurant that he recommended for lunch, Trattoria Fluviale Vecio Mulin, was so good and tucked away, as only a local would know as it was what we wanted. We enjoyed the view of the river and the castle while enjoying the great food. Our trip to Verona is indeed made memorable with Manuel as our guide.In love with Verona

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

Our tour took us to the main attractions in the old part of the city and a wonderful selection of wines and tasty foods. Manuel was friendly and knowledgeable and even sent us recommendations for wineries and restaurants as we travel further into the Dolimites. We would highly recommend him to any travellers who are visiting Verona. Thankyou so much Manuel.

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

Christina was super nice and a great host and took us to some cool little local spots and we enjoyed some simple fare from caffe to bruschetta, to arancini, to Campari spritz, and a few other good bites. Nothing extraordinary in the culinary department but overall just what we wanted in a quick tour of Verona for our first time in the city. During our evening walk we managed to take in many of the sights including Juliette’s balcony and we passed by the Basilica di Santa Anastasia, Piazza dei Signori, Castelvecchio, the Arena de Verona, and several other historical gems within a stone’s throw of the Roman gate (cloaked for renovations).
Grazie!A great walk and some tasty bites!

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

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

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 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.
