About this experience
With over 12 years of experience as a guide, I have often witnessed people making quick stops in Verona on their way between Venice and Milan, just to feel its atmosphere if they don't have time for a full immersion into its history and culture. This observation inspired me to create an express tour - a walk for those who believe in love at first sight! I will not only show you Verona, but make you fall in love with it in just an hour.
