Very good activity, where the buses marked a time out at each stop and signaled on the microphone. Unlike that of Padova where I did the activity the day before, where the driver was terrible with his phone while driving and who does not stop when you ring the bell to get off...

Unfortunately because it was rainy we couldn't ride. Instead we did a walking tour, and still had a great time. Our guide was extremely charming and very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the beautiful city. Excellent experience, highly recommended!

This tour takes you through Verona. You can easily get in and out at the beautiful places that you hear through your earphones. Languages can be set.

Great way to get to know Verona and get to all those nooks and crannies that you wouldn't get to on foot

The tour takes you to the main attractions of the city. The stops are also recognizable.
