Daniella was an excellent tour guide , we were greeted with a friendly smile, warm welcome , the bikes were adjusted to suit and we were offered a helmet . It was a steady pace , shown the sights and the commentary was via microphone so was easy to hear. As Daniella was raised in Verona her knowledge was vast . The overall tour was 3hrs + , no big hills and we stoped for 20mins to have a toilet break and to purchase food / drink . We parked the bikes and walked up the 200 steps to get a panoramic view of the town . We (a group of 4 slighter older males) thoroughly enjoyed the tour (the day was dry and warm) and would recommend it . Thank you Daniella , regards Mike

Great tour with Daniela on a grey morning and only two riders. She is very knowledgeable about her city and was happy to answer all our questions. The single speed bikes took a little getting used to but then Verona is pretty flat. Loved our morning - thanks. Jo

The tour was amazing.. we were taken to see so many lovely places in Verona! Places we may not have been to see if it wasn’t for the tour! Our tour guide was fabulous and gave us lots of information.. I would definitely recommend!

Very good! Sara was really good. Recommended a great restaurant for us to have dinner as well.

Sarah was amazing! We loved everything about the tour!
