Overview

This walking tour offers a truly local take on Verona—far beyond the standard sightseeing route. With your host, you’ll explore tucked-away corners, riverside paths, artisan boutiques, and historic gems that most travelers miss. Whether you're sipping wine in a quiet square, discussing Roman architecture, or learning about Verona’s political and poetic past, this is your chance to explore like a local—not a tourist.

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to share your interests and travel style. Based on your responses, you’ll be matched with a like-minded host who will contact you directly to suggest a personalized itinerary. You’ll agree on a meeting point and time, and your route can adapt as the day unfolds.

What's Included

  • Online questionnaire link sent after booking to tailor your experience and match you to a local host
  • Flexible durations and start times - Pick your preferred duration when you book
  • Get picked up (on foot) at your accommodation if it's central!
  • Food, drinks and tickets to any attractions
  • Transportation (primarily a walking experience, public transport may be used at an additional cost)
  • Gratuities (optional)
