Incredible experience! The guide was charismatic, and clearly loves this city. We learned so many ‘insider’ secrets about Piazzas and the local architecture. Great experience!
SSvenAmazing 1 hr Arena Tour – Best way to skip the line!
We booked a guided tour of the Arena and it was worth every penny, especially because it included skip-the-line access. Seeing the massive queue outside made us realize we made the right choice! Our guide shared so many ‘hidden’ details about the Roman engineering and the survival of the structure through the ages. It felt very exclusive to walk straight in and explore the ancient corridors. Highly recommended!
EElisabethPerfekter Überblick in zwei Stunden
Wir hatten eine private Tour gebucht und waren begeistert. Die Route war perfekt geplant: Wir haben die wichtigsten Highlights wie die Piazza Bra, Arena, Piazza Erbe, Piazza Signori und Ponte Pietra gesehen, ohne uns gehetzt zu fühlen. Unsere Stadtführerin war sehr kinderfreundlich und hatte auf jede Frage eine Antwort. Ein toller Mix aus Geschichte, Architektur und Tipps für die besten Gelaterias der Stadt. Ein Muss für den ersten Tag in Verona!
TThomasMore than just Romeo and Juliet!
We weren’t sure what to expect beyond the famous balcony, but this three-hour tour showed us so much more. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kept a great pace, not too fast, not too slow. We loved the walk across the Castelvecchio Bridge and the stories about the city’s medieval past. It was informative without being ‘dry.’ Great value for money and a wonderful way to get your bearings in the city.
AAndreasEin römisches Juwel ohne langes Warten!
Die einstündige Führung durch die Arena di Verona war das absolute Highlight unserer Reise. Besonders toll: Dank der geführten Tour konnten wir die lange Schlange am Eingang komplett überspringen (ohne Wartezeit). Unsere Stadtfüherin hat die Steine zum Sprechen gebracht: Von den Gladiatorenkämpfen bis hin zu den heutigen Opernfestspielen war alles dabei. Ein Muss, wenn man in der Stadt ist!
JJason G.Very pleasant visit to Verona in the company of Mariacristina who made us discover the city through a path away from the hordes of tourists and under historical aspects dotted with anecdotes. Mariacristina also made this visit accessible for our 8 year old son. All this in perfect French. It is an experience to recommend
MMagdalena B.This tour was so personal and interesting! It was a pleasure to have Mariacristina guiding us through her city. We really enjoyed it
KKaren MC.We really enjoyed the tour and the different information about the beautiful buildings and streets, and the famous people in ancient Verona. We took all the time we needed to stop, take pictures, look around, explore hidden corners, etc.
SSylviaBegleiterin sehr erfahren, sehr netter Umgang mit SchülerInnen, waren sehr zufrieden.
PPetraEine Zeitreise durch das antike und mittelalterliche Verona
Unsere Stadtführung mit Mariacristina war absolut erstklassig! Anstatt uns nur mit Jahreszahlen zu langweilen, wurden uns die Geschichten hinter den Scaliger-Gräber und der Arena nähergebracht. Besonders beeindruckend war der Insider-Blick in die versteckten Gassen abseits der Touristenströme. Man merkt sofort, dass die Führung von einem Experten geleitet wird. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die Verona wirklich verstehen wollen!
LLaurentSuperbe expérience, guide au top !
Top ! Nous avons réservé un tour de 3 heures et nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Le guide était très sympathique, dynamique et parlait un français impeccable. On a appris beaucoup de choses sur l’histoire romaine et médiévale tout en discutant de la vie locale actuelle. Mention spéciale pour la vue depuis le Pont Pietra ! C’est le meilleur investissement pour comprendre l’âme de Vérone en une matinée. À faire absolument !
EEliasInformativ, kurzweilig und sehr sympathisch!
Top Stadtführung! Wer denkt, Stadtrundgänge seien trocken, wird hier eines Besseren belehrt. Wir haben in kurzer Zeit so viel gelernt und dabei viel gelacht. Besonders die Anekdoten über Romeo und Julia waren spannend und mal eine andere Perspektive. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis!
MMathewLoved the insights and information shared by Maria. It really took me to the era and painted a real picture on an imaginary canvas with them city of Verona in the background
EEtienneUne immersion magistrale avec accès coupe-file
Visite exceptionnelle des Arènes. Le vrai plus de cette réservation est l’accès coupe-file, qui nous a permis d’entrer immédiatement sans attendre sous le soleil. Nous avons été captivés par le récit de notre guide qui nous a transportés à l’époque de l’Empire Romain. Découvrir les coulisses et l’organisation des spectacles antiques était passionnant. C’est le meilleur moyen d’apprécier ce chef-d’œuvre en toute sérénité. Bravo !
LLouiseTrois heures de pur bonheur historique
Nous avons passé 3 heures absolument passionnantes avec notre guide. Ce n’était pas seulement une marche, mais une véritable immersion dans l’histoire de Vérone. Des Arènes à la Piazza dei Signori, chaque détail architectural a pris vie grâce aux explications précises et captivantes. On sent une réelle expertise et un amour pour le patrimoine italien. Le rythme était parfait pour voir l’essentiel sans jamais se presser. Une expérience inoubliable !
AAnne W.Wonderful tour in this great city, thanks for highlighting so many beautiful details to see and get to know!
