• Walk through Piazza delle Erbe market

The experience

The tour starts in Piazza Brà, where your guide introduces you to Verona's layout and history before leading you through the old town. You'll see the Verona Arena from outside, a 1st-century Roman structure, and hear stories of gladiators and ancient entertainment. The route then takes you to Piazza dei Signori, the city's former political center, where you'll stand under the statue of Dante Alighieri and learn why this square mattered to Verona's power.

From Piazza dei Signori, you board the cable car for a one-way ride uphill to St. Peter Hill, where the city spreads out below you in a single view. You'll have time to photograph the Adige River and the surrounding landscape before walking back down the same hillside. A descent that itself offers scenic views along the riverfront. The downhill walk is part of the experience, not a shortcut you skip.

The tour ends where it began, in Piazza Brà, with a wine aperitif: two regional wines paired with a selection of local ham and cheese. Your guide shares the story of these products, where they come from, how they're made, what they mean to Verona's food culture. The whole tour runs three hours, small enough that you move at a conversational pace and can ask questions as you go.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and German.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (7 to 14 years); Child (3 to 6 years); Infant (under 3): free.

What is the Verona Arena and why is it famous?

The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheater built in the 1st century B.C., one of the best-preserved structures of its kind. Your guide explains its role in gladiator entertainment and its place in Roman life, though the tour views it from outside rather than entering the building.

Do I walk downhill from St. Peter Hill or take the cable car back?

The cable car ticket covers the uphill journey only. You walk back down. The descent follows a scenic route along the Adige River and is designed as part of the tour experience, offering views you don't get from the cable car.

What does the wine aperitif include?

The finale in Piazza Brà offers two different regional wines paired with a platter of local ham and cheese. These are products made in the Verona region, and your guide explains their origins and significance to local food traditions.

Is Juliet's House included in this tour?

No, Juliet's House is not part of this itinerary. The tour focuses on the Arena, the two main piazzas, and St. Peter Hill, ending with the wine tasting in Piazza Brà.

How many people are on a small-group tour?

The tour is designed as a small group, which keeps the pace slower and allows for personal attention from your guide. The exact group size varies by departure, but the small-group format is what makes the experience conversational rather than rushed.
