Reviews of Our Verona Experiences

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

Holland

Naples

Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

Our host was awesome!

Our tour in Naples was fabulous. My husband and I met Roberto, our tour guide, and we had a walking tour through the heart of Naples, through Piazza’s, Parks, and Government buildings, the beautiful Theatre, centuries old buildings, neighborhoods and side streets, as well as learning the History of Naples as we went along. It was fascinating! Roberto Introduced us to vendors and provided the opportunity to see how the local residents live, where they gather, shop and eat. We would have never seen what we did or learn so much about Naples - Napoli on our own. Roberto was a wonderful Host, we were sad to leave him. We felt so lucky. I heartily recommend this tour and Roberto for anyone who wants a really fabulous enriched experience. MORE THAN 5 STARS!!

The walking tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of Bologna and the present as well. Andrea was informative, funny and introduced us to some cured meats that we had not tried before. A nice way to spend the morning.

Great tour. Very flexible and customized for your group. I highly recommended to anyone in Napoli. Enya is the best guide.

A possible route, not a fixed script

This sample shows what the experience could include. Your host will shape the route around your interests, pace, weather and plans.

Suggested meeting point

Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza Erbe, 37121 Verona VR, Italy

A Sweet Start in the Square

Begin with a warm slice of torta Russa and local rhythm

Tastes of Verona: A Local-Led Food & Wine Walk

Begin your tasting in a classic pasticceria with Verona’s almond-rich torta Russa. Most locals eat it standing outside, warm slice in hand, espresso optional. It is flaky at the edge and dense in the center, a bite of everyday tradition.

Rustic Salumi, Shared Sidewalks

Taste cheese and salami the way locals do on the go.

Your host selects a few slices of Monte Veronese cheese and soppressa veneta from a trusted salumeria. You may find a bench or pause nearby to taste and chat. This shared platter-style stop feels like a local lunch break, casual and full of character.

A Glass with a Story

Sip local wine where the story behind the glass matters.

Step into a low-key osteria or wine window for a glass of local red or white. Whether you try the light, mineral notes of Soave or the earthy depth of Valpolicella, your host shares how the region’s flavors are shaped by the land.

Seasonal Street Bite

A fresh, warm bite chosen to match the season and mood.

What’s warm and fresh today? Maybe frittelle di riso, sweet and crisp, or a spoonful of delicate tortellini from Valeggio. Your host helps you choose based on what’s in season and what suits your mood.

A Final Sip, Bold or Sweet

End with a local liqueur that suits your style and story.

You’ll wrap up with a drink that fits your style. Choose between the herbal intensity of Amaro del Capo or the dessert-like richness of Recioto. It’s a final toast to the stories shared and flavors explored.

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

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!

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

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.

I want to be very clear that our guide was Annabelle, not Kata and the reason this review might say Kata us due to a confusing error caused by the booking company. While City Unscripted has some glitch related to how they identify the name of the guide, I want to be clear that this annoyance aside, the guide we had, Annebelle, was excellent. She did a terrific job and we could not be happier.
