    Verona Moonlight Tour - Exceptional
    Seeing the city lit up at night is something we always love to do. This tour was better than many others we have taken in other cities. Our guide Maria was EXTREMEly knowledgeable about little things embedded throughout the older part of the city that we had walked by several times and never noticed the significance. Our tour went over the allotted time and with the permission of all she continued to show us things for another half hour. It was really fun.

    Proposal tour
    This was absolutely amazing, Maria took us through each step of the tour engaging us all the way with her knowledge and passion explaining the history of Verona. It was a memorable day and she definitely helped me pop the question in the best way possible. Towards the end of our tour we both were truly sad to leave Maria and actually wanted her to come home with us. Made us feel at ease the whole way and truly connect with Verona.

    Unforgettable Proposal with an Exceptional Guide!
    Our exceptional guide on the Romeo and Juliet tour. Maria's meticulous documentation, coupled with her vast knowledge and warm demeanor, truly elevated the experience. Her invaluable assistance during my proposal at Juliet's house made the moment even more unforgettable. An absolute gem of a guide — cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing! Go book now!
    Amazing! 10/10 would recommend. We were led around Verona by Maria, who taught us all about the history, architecture and stories of the arena, the buildings in Verona and of course, Romeo and Juliet. Maria was an incredible storyteller and a fountain of knowledge, she answered any questions we had and taught us so much that we hadn't heard about before. Such a fantastic tour- it actually ran over the hour a little and we didn't even notice! I can't recommend you book this enough! We learnt so much and enjoyed ourselves so much more than we would have if we hadn't picked this tour.

    Loved it!
    Our tour guide was amazing! Maria was funny, passionate, and informative. She's also very kind and made sure our group was well-hydrated because it was such a hot day. I teach Romeo & Juliet and I loved hearing the real story behind the famous play. So much more information I can now pass on to my students!

    Maria Pia is the best guide!
    My niece and I had the most fabulous tour with Maria Pia in Verona! Maria is an incredible storyteller and really brings the history alive. She is very knowledgeable and engaging - we remember more facts from this tour than many others we went on in Europe! Maria went above and beyond to cover all of my niece's interests and questions relating to Romeo and Juliet, which she is studying at school at the moment. Maria also generously gave up her time the day after our tour to go back to one of the sights we visited to take a photo we forgot to take. Maria is truly extraordinary and we cannot thank or praise her highly enough. Thank you Maria!

    Great tour!!
    This was just the kind of walking tour we love! Maria provided great stories blended with real historic facts. Her enthusiasm and animation made it really fun and interesting. It was also a beautiful night and the city looks stunning in the evening hours. We highly recommend Maria’s moonlight walking tour!!

    A refreshing tour
    This was such an insightful and refreshing tour of Verona city center. Our tour guide was a great story teller: he was able to give just the right amount of history without getting boring, enough walking around to keep us engaged, and enough comedy to keep it light hearted. Obviously the city center can get very crowded, so our tour guide did his best in navigating us away from the crowds. He also let us know all the great restaurants to eat and where to get the best gelato. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants a different spin on the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Damn, this tour was AMAZING. Our guide, I believe her name was Maria Pia, was the best guide I've ever had. She gave us an incredible mix of warmth, engagement, history, sad and dark things, building structure etc. What an exceptional lady she is. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We had amazing time on this tour with the lovely vibrant Maria Pia such a knowledgeable and friendly lady. We learnt and saw so much on this tour she told us so many interesting historical and architectural facts. Wonderful stories of the people and families from Verona’s past pointing out things along the way that we wouldn’t have noticed ordinarily. The time flew by as we learnt about the Romans the Arena and so much more.
Maria Pia was a delight so if come to Verona do this tour it will enhance your stay in this beautiful place.

Maria did a great job with the stories and history of Verona. Our teenager enjoyed it!
So glad that we did the night tour and it was less crowded and more relaxed.
It was perfect way to end our evening before getting gelato.
Maria did a great job.

We booked a tour with Maria Pia Girolami on the recommendation of a friend. The tour was wonderful. Maria Pia met us at the meeting point, and right away began sharing stories and interesting facts about Verona that took us from the Roman period up to the time of Romeo and Juliet. Even after the tour we were searching the buildings for telltale signs of the different Verona historical periods! She also accommodated our need to be at a certain point in Verona to attend the opera. Overall it was a great tour experience with Maria Pia.

Tour in evening with Francesco. He was warm, funny and enthusiastic. He spent extra time giving us some of the history of Verona in addition to the dark/mysterious stories/history. He also adapted the tour to our current knowledge and interests. It made our trip special. Eimear.

I joined a brilliant walking tour with the passionate Francesco, organised by the tourist office. Francesco spoke first in English, then in beautiful clear Italian, which was wonderful for me as I was about to start a week at Italian language school. He was knowledgeable and entertaining and full of historical information. It was supposed to be a 90 minute tour but Francesco kept us all entertained for three hours. I would recommend his tours.

Thank you, yes, we are all passionate guides, very much in love with our beautiful city, and when we see people interested in discovering its history, art, etc., we often lose control of the time passing and we go far and beyond to make them appreciate what they see...

We had a tour today booked through Viator. Our guide was an Italian history teacher . He made it fun and interactive and his knowledge of the history of this city was outstanding. He made history come alive. Well worth the cost.

Francesco was a phenomenal tour guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm about Verona and the various historical facts is astounding. His sense of humor kept things interesting, he fielded questions well, and in general was a wealth of information. Definitely one of our highlights for our entire trip.
