"Emiliano was an outstanding guide and one of the highlights of our visit to Verona. From the very beginning, he was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history, culture, and stories of the city. What stood out most was how he personalized the experience and made us feel welcomed rather than rushed through a standard tour. He brought Verona to life through fascinating historical insights, local recommendations, and hidden details that we would never have discovered on our own. His explanations were engaging, easy to understand, and balanced perfectly between history, culture, and everyday local life. We also greatly appreciated his patience and kindness in helping us take beautiful photographs throughout the day. Thanks to Emiliano, we now have wonderful memories and pictures from Juliet's House, Castelvecchio, and many of Verona's most beautiful spots that we will treasure for years to come. What could have been a simple sightseeing tour became a truly memorable experience. Emiliano's professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made our time in Verona special, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city. Thank you, Emiliano, for helping us create some of the best memories of our Italy trip. "

"We were met outside our hotel by Virginia , who was delightful . She is very knowledgeable of her city , its history , food and wine, art and architecture. She started off by taking us over the Roman Bridge and up to the top of the hill on the other side . Fabulous views . Then we went round all major sites. A great afternoon out with a knowledgeable and friendly local as advertised ! "

"We had a limited time in Verona and Francesco (Frank) gave us an amazing time showing us the highlights and more in 3 hrs. He was engaging and kept our 15yo and 12yo involved and entertained. Highly recommend this tour and especially Frank. "

"We had one day in Verona and are so delighted that we spent 3 hours with Maria Pia. She seamlessly took us on a tour of Verona including it’s history, architecture and culture that could be described as an adventure! "

"There were 6 of us on the tour with Frank. We’re all gardeners, and Frank made a point of showing us interesting plants, such as the oldest Plane tree in Italy. He gave us a ton of information about the history of the area, making it fun for us by giving us “points” for remembering important facts. He checked often that we were absorbing what he told us and would say things in different ways to make sure we got it. He had several visual aids (maps, old photos, etc) that helped bring history alive. Thoroughly enjoyable and valuable 3 hours!"

"We have recently returned from our visit to Verona and Lake Garda and wanted to say how much we enjoyed our tour of The Verona Arena and surrounding area with Francesco. He showed us many things that we would almost certainly have missed if we had just explored on our own and throughout our time with him his passion and knowledge for the city he calls home was evident. So, if you want to be informed and entertained during your stay in Verona then Francesco is a great choice! (And he does like Garibaldi biscuits!) "

"Francesco (Frenk !) is the perfect guide! He is very flexible, we had booked the day before another tour, the guides have coordinated with each other, put together an individual tour and so we had with Frenk! the perfect complement. Besides his versatile knowledge he is very entertaining, we laughed a lot! On the way he pointed out to us very many hidden details, away from the guidebooks. In a prepared folder he showed us in between pictures from the past of the city, so that we were also allowed to travel into the past. Even after the tour, he sent us information about what else we can do in Verona, because the weather changed and we were looking for indoor alternatives. We can highly recommend him and we are happy about this encounter! Beatrice and Klaus"

"Frank is the best tour guide we’ve had the privilege to spend time with. Before we began the tour, he asked us about our interests and made sure to tailor the tour accordingly. We happen to love Roman history, so Frank took us on a journey that spanned the Pre-Roman, Roman, and Early/Middle/Late Medieval periods. His knowledge, which is deep and impassioned, was astounding. We are left with a profound respect and admiration for Verona. "

"Francesco’s friends call him Frenk so that’s what we will call him from now because he is such a super friendly guy and so easy to get along with. He embodies all that is best about a personal tour guide: passionate about his city and its culture; knowledgeable and full of interesting insights; and able to show you things that you would never, ever spot if you were walking around on your own. Frenk was flexible with our plans and really helped us see this utterly beautiful city from the inside. He’s highly recommended for anyone wanting a fun, friendly guide to amazing Verona. Andrew and Fi. "

"Really enjoyed our tour with Maria, excellent explanation of the history and growth of Verona and the Stories that surrounded events of the time. Maria brought the city to life. Thoroughly enjoyed."
