    This tour is excellent, especially if you don't have a lot of time in Verona. Fabio is a wonderful guide and story teller who clearly loves what he's doing. If you only have time for one tour and you love a bit of history, this is the tour to be doing.

    100% recommendation! Fabio loves this city and that's what makes this tour so unique. It shows you a completely different perspective of this beautiful city and how important it is sometimes to take a closer look. Fabio speaks German very well and knows every little detail. Without this tour I would certainly not have perceived Verona as I do now. Grace mille Fabio!
