Immortalised in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Verona holds a special place in lovers' hearts. You'll get to fall in love with the city on this day trip from Lake Garda, seeing all its main sights as you wander around the history-steeped streets of its old town.

Your guide will show you around, pointing out highlights such as the Roman Porta Borsari and the Roman arena – used every summer for an opera festival – and Juliet's Balcony. There are also some truly historic bridges over the River Adige as well as a world-class collection of medieval churches and basilicas.

You'll also see the exterior of the Scaliger Tombs – five Gothic mausoleums for the Scaliger family, nobles who once ruled over Verona. And you'll discover the monumental Piazza dei Signori, location of the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Antica, and the Piazza delle Erbe. There'll also be free time for lunch and shopping.

Plenty of history to this place, we were on a walk I king tour which lasted for around 1.5 hours, very informative and interesting, the cost to get into the amphitheatre is around €12 per person but worth seeing. Lots of shops and as you would expect restaurants and cafes.
Fascinating and beautiful Verona

From start to finish this was a worthwhile trip. Our first guide on the coach to Verona and through our time there was lovely. Think her name was Rosata?? Very informative, lovely friendly guide with enthusiasm and knowledge. Our guide around Verona was Leonardo and he was fabulous. Quite funny, very informative, passionate about his home and its amazing history. Lots of time to see Arena on your own, shop till you drop, enjoy the shops etc. very good trip, really enjoyed it.

We went with Tui to Verona on 25th September but unable to leave a review for the trip on Tui app. The guide on the drive to and back from Verona was very informative, sorry didn’t get his name. However the trip was let down dramatically by the tour guide we had in Verona itself. Unfortunately I couldn’t understand a word she was saying and asking around no one else seemed to understand her either. Verona is stunning but I am no more clear than before I went about the city. We enjoyed the free time though. We won’t book excursion to Verona again but find our own way. Annoyed that we paid a lot of money for the lady Verona guide and didn’t understand her at all, for this reason I give it a poor.
Beautiful Verona
