Verona Food Tour
Our tour guide (if I remember correctly his name is Carlo!) was absolutely amazing!! He helped us gain more of an understanding of not only the beautiful architecture but also the amazing food of Verona! He gave us insight of the history as we walked through the streets. He introduced us to one of the many delicious sweets and savory food in Verona! While also giving us the history and fun facts of each food we tried! My husband and I absolutely recommend booking from him just by how outstanding he was! 10/10 experience and next time we’re back we will be doing this again! Thank you Carlo!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Carlo made your experience in Verona so special. He's truly passionate about sharing the city's rich history, architecture and cuisine, and it's fantastic to know he left such a positive impression on you and your husband.

Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Verona is not rushed.
Is Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Verona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Food Tour with Wine Tasting in Verona start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Verona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Verona?
+
On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Verona?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Verona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
