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.

Fabio’s tour was amazing and one of my favourite ever walking tours. He is so passionate and took us on a journey through the history of his amazing city. I had a great time and highly recommend booking this tour:

The tour was really informative and not the usual tourist-trap. The guide was knowledgeable and he was able to keep my attention and curiosity. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and informative. I was having difficulty walking that day and she found plenty of places for me to rest. Highly recommend

Was only here for 2-3 hours and was able to do 4-5 activities! Would recommend getting this pass if in Verona!
