Piazza Bra Welcome and Everyday Know-How

A wide square, soft start and the city’s practical side

Your Perfect First Day in Verona: Tips, Timing and City Flow

You’ll meet beside the Arena’s outer arch, near the café terraces. This is where locals pass through, pause, or start their day. You might sit briefly or begin walking, depending on your energy. Your host shares light, useful details: coffee culture, public transport, and local schedules.

Via Mazzini and a Local Detour

Movement, marble, and the city between the lines

This polished shopping street connects key areas, but your walk through it doesn’t have to be typical. With your host, you might dip into a quiet alley or sidestep the crowd near Juliet’s Balcony. You’ll learn how locals navigate the center, when to linger, and which routes to take.

Piazza delle Erbe or a Riverfront Pause

Two ways to feel the city breathe

Depending on your earlier path, you’ll either end near the lively stalls of Piazza delle Erbe or the peaceful banks of the Adige. Either way, your host shares how the city shifts through the day

Optional Close: Standing Still with the City

No big finale, just a sense of belonging

Your walk ends quietly, with no final sight to tick off. You’ll leave with practical knowledge, a mental map, and a few small stories that help Verona feel more personal.

Our guide was excellent! She was very kind and answered all of our questions and was willing to personalize our tour.

Armando was terrific. He customized our tour exactly as we envisioned it. It was ideal and his passion for Naples came through loud and clear. A wonderful experience!

June 2025

Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.

Bea was very personable and friendly! She made the experience very enjoyable

Great walking tour with Roberto. We only had a couple of hours with the family to see Naples and Roberto provided. A great personalized experience showing us the culture, people, architecture and food of Naples highly recommended!

Langdon Jun 2025

Excellent experience with Titziana walking all throughout the Milan Cathedral (rooftop, crypt, etc), the Sforzesco Castle and some unique areas of the city. She was incredibly informative and a delight to walk with.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
