Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Romeo's House (Casa di Romeo), Via delle Arche Scaligeri, 37121, Verona Italy
The afternoon will included a walk along the river past the Casa di Romeo - yes, that Romeo - and two very famous arches, the ancient Roman gates of Porta Borsari and the Arco della Costa, where you’ll learn about one of most bizarre local legends ever (it involves a pure-hearted person and a dangling whale bone).
Pass By: Ponte Scaligero (Ponte di Castelvecchio), Corso Castelvecchio 2, 37121, Verona Italy
You’ll also get a chance to pay your respects at the Scaligeri family tombs - incredible examples of gothic architecture that hold the remains of one of Verona’s most important families - gape up at Lamberti tower, and saunter over the iconic Castelvecchio bridge, all before your guide puts you back on the train to Venice.
Pass By: Piazza delle Erbe, 37121, Verona Italy
With that box ticked, we’ll take you into the historic center to uncover the real story of the city that served as the colorful backdrop for Shakespeare’s classic. You’ll visit the gorgeous plazas, Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe to see the Palazzo Maffei, the Palazzo Barbieri (Town Hall) and the famous Mazzanti Houses whose facades are decorated with beautiful 16th-century frescoes. You’ll also stop by the Piazza Dante to pay your respects at the statue of Italy’s most famous writer.
Pass By: Piazza dei Signori, Verona Italy
Piazza dei signori
Stop At: Arena di Verona, Piazza Bra 1, 37121, Verona Italy
After some stunning photos from the viewpoint (sure to be the envy of your friends) you’ll take a lovely walk down into the city. Along the way you’ll stop off for a skip the line visit to the Verona Arena, a 1st-century marvel that is one of the greatest amphitheaters in Italy and also among the top opera venues in the world. You’ll also see the Verona Duomo from the outside, and pop into the beautiful Basilica of Saint Anastasia.
Duration: 40 minutes
Pass By: Casa di Giulietta, Via Cappello 23, 37121, Verona Italy
Then it’s on to Verona’s top attraction: The home of Shakespeare’s Juliet, where, from the outside, you gaze up at the famed balcony where Romeo is said to have done his wooing. There is also a statue of Juliet herself whose breast you can rub for good luck - just make sure Romeo’s not around.
Stop At: Verona's Cathedral (Duomo), Piazza Duomo in the Citta Antica, Verona Italy

The guide is expert on the theme, the trip is a fast crash course on the monuments, and needs a lot of walking, we went by air-conditioned van, and returned by train with the minimum air-conditioning, however the large amount of historical sites makes this trip worthwhile, not to forget that Shakespeare was obsessed by Verona.
I just wanted to see another city while in Venice and see Juliette’s Patio. I had no idea all that Verona had to offer. What a beautiful city with less crowds and amazing history!!
This was a fairly thorough tour of the beautiful city of Verona. My only issue was that the beauty of this lovely city was lost into a lengthy long ancient history lesson. I realize this city is rich in it's storied past, but with only one day to visit, we felt like we were immersed into a long walking lecture, rather than exploring the beauty. Thank goodness for the two hour lunch break to wander on our own, but I think this tour would be better served to have the morning touching on a few bigger ancient highlights, and leave the afternoon to personal exploration.
Best tour I've ever experienced. This was the highlight of my trip to Venice, ironically.
We were really excited about this, it was our 48th wedding anniversary. We went to your internet site for the meeting place and it said Piazza Roma. We got up early and arrived at 8:30 AM, 1/2 hour early. We searched the Piazza diligently. We asked numerous tour offices. No one had even heard of you until we encountered one woman who looked you up and called both telephone numbers for us. There was no answer at either.We did not give up, we looked everywhere twice and 3 times, questioned bus drivers but finally at 9:15 we gave up. The voucher we had was apparently useless. This was our 4th experience with Viator. The first 3 including a trip to Stonehenge were great. This one was very disappointing not to mention expensive. Obviously we will not send pictures. We had previously recommended your services to our friends who travel, but after this experience it is unlikely we would do so again. As for ourselves we will probably not consider Viator for our travel assistance in the future. Bob and Eileen Segerson
A little difficult to understand tour guide but she was very nice and accommodating.
Very pretty town with some beautiful churches. Came back to Venice by train which was somewhat of a surprise. Spent a little to much time on finer points of paintings in the churches.
