Sirmione

Luckily for the traveler without much time, Verona is a very compact city with a lot of interesting sights within the old centre.
This private guided walk is a pleasant stroll in living history that begins at piazza Brà, taking time to see the Arena from outside. After passing some fine "palazzi", a brief stop near the riverbank of the Adige with a view of Castelvecchio: impressive brick castle of the Della Scala family , ruling 13th and 14th Century Verona.
Through Porta Borsari and following the Corso, the walk continues to Piazza Erbe: a colourful panoply of buildings encases the square, including the charming Casa Mazzanti, the 12th century 275fts high Torre dei Lamberti, the shorter Torre del Gardello and the yellow sandstone Palazzo Maffei. From Piazza Erbe the arch leads to the stately Piazza dei Signori: the civic centre of Verona with the the grand gothic tombs of the Della Scala dynasty. The tour ends at the house of Juliet: Verona's urban myth.

Best of Verona in two hours

An unexpected rainbow of colors unfolds when you reach Verona: blue is reflected in the skies and in the Adige river, and warm brown earth tones embrace terracotta campaniles, white towers and frescoed façades. This painter's paradise beckons us to enter its enchanted landscape mingled with history and legend, where past and present coincide, and where Romeo and Juliet still wander the streets hand in hand. . .

All right, are you still looking for love? I will give you the "legend", the so called Juliet's house. Romeo's house. Yes, there is also his house. Love is easy to find in Verona.

Do you prefer flesh and blood stories? I do. You will get them learning of Cangrande della Scala solemnly guarding his tomb on his horse, reflecting a century of success and conquest; in Piazza dei Signori, an exiled Dante thoughtfully reconsiders his life's work; and, in Piazza Brà, the magnificent and beautiful Arena - comparable to the Colosseum - echoes vestiges of Ancient Rome: war and art.

Brescia: the most underrated pearl of Italy - walking tour with a Local Drink!

Brescia, also known as "The Lioness", has been a greatly important center for ages, from the Roman time, through the Langobards and up to the modern days when the city and its notoriously proud and hard working people made it one of Italy's most appreciated, wealthy and progressive cities of the country. Its fascinating Roman ruins, the charming bars to enjoy the typical drink "Pirlo" and some great local treats, its driverless subway system (the second one in Europe), the Medieval castle and the green hills surrounding it are just some of the great features you will experience visiting Brescia. All these things made me choose the city and its surrounding as my second home after having experienced and worked many other Italian and European places.

Since I moved to Verona, over 20 years ago, and saw the city center from the hill of San Pietro, embraced by the river, I fell in love with it.

It was natural therefore to want to learn more about its past and architectural heritage.

Verona first impressions - Private tour with licensed guide

"What a lovely and welcoming city this is. I would love to actually come and live here for at least a year!"

We had just finished our walking tour of Verona, and these were the words of an elderly lady who was a first time visitor to the city. Needless to say, she had very much appreciated the experience.

After exploring Verona together, I want for you to feel how this lady felt. Walking the streets and seeing the sights is a great experience in itself. Add to that the luxury of having a licensed guide tell you about what you see - and not just names and dates, but stories behind the marvels that make up the fairy tale that is Verona - and you too might be ready to come and settle here!

If you feel that three hours won't be enough, and maybe you want to include some wine tasting, or tasting of typical food, then reach out to me and we can plan something amazing together.

Arena di Verona - the largest one of the (many) Roman remains in this city. Always stunning, and in the summer it is home to the famous opera festival.

Piazza Erbe - the heart of the city ever since Roman times.

No, it's not Venice, but Verona. Typical windows in the Venetian Gothic style attest to the history of Verona as one of the cities that was part of the Venetian Republic.

Undoubtedly, Verona is the city which preserves traces, remains and monuments of the civilization of Rome perhaps more than any other.

The town itself is Roman in its layout and basic structure: many of the old roads are in fact those built during Roman times. Even more remarkable is the memory of Rome which is still to be found in the city after so many centuries: in the arches of the bridges, in the Amphitheatre, the Roman Theatre and in the architecture of all subsequent periods.
This tour is a lively introduction to Roman Verona also aiming to show the aspects of every day life in Roman times and how this rational and solid architecture has influenced all later Verona architects almost up to the present day.

Going back to those places, it is like going back to the origin, to the roots not only of our history but also of our civil quality; it is like experiencing "the cave of the soul".
