The Verona Private Walking Tour begins from the Arena in the Bra Square, one of Verona’s landmarks. This ancient Roman amphitheatre dates back to 30 AD and is one of best preserved in the world.
The tour continues through narrow cobblestone streets, passing by colorful buildings and arrives at Pizza delle Erbe (Square of herbs) that used to be the heart of the ancient Roman city with the center of the political and economical life. Verona has inspired many artists and painters, such as Angelo Dall'Oca Bianca and the poet Berto Barbarani. Just around the corner from the vibrant piazza we can find the worldly known balcony from Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, where the love is evident, literally all over the walls. This is the actual house where the tragic drama took place.
Except being a city famous for love, Verona also played an important role during the middle ages and was one of the significant cities of Northern Italy during this time. That’s why, in the heart of the historical center, we can find the headquarters of the powerful Scaligeri family: Signori Square or, as the Veronese call it, Dante Square, nowadays one of the most romantic corners of the town.
Verona has many ravishing off the beaten track alleys and small streets that your private local guide will show you and gladly point out the best Veronese Osteria and where you can find the most traditional and delicious regional food. The side streets brings us to the river Adige, that still flows into its ancient bed. From here we have an incredible view of Ponte Pietra, The Roman Theatre and the Archeological Museum.
Before we head back to where we started your private guide will give you the option to see some of the other interesting sites in Verona such as the cathedral, the Carega district with the ateliers of local artists or Castelvecchio and the Arch of the Gavi family.
You will of course view the world famous balcony, which played a great role in the story about Romeo and Juliet, along with the ancient amphitheatre and the duomo.
Walk the cobblestone streets and admire the architecture while your private guide tells you the history of the passing buildings and squares, facts and fun anecdotes.
