A Day in Verona
Our experience with Michael Anthony was very good. We were supposed to have another guide who backed out at the last minute. The company found Michael Anthony and he came on board right away. He picked us up at the train station and drove us to the center of Verona. We walked around Verona to see the places of interest. He was welled informed about the history of each site. We stopped for lunch at a delicious restaurant that he chose. The last site was a view of Verona from a park that was spectacular. The day was very enjoyable.

A great way to see the city
We had a lovely walk with Michael around some of the less busy spots in the city. He is charming and has excellent English. He met us at Sant Anastasia as it was convenient for us and close to where we wanted to explore. The Duomo was closed for a wedding but we went in to Sant Fermo which was a real highlight of the walk. We ended with the fabulous view overlooking the city at Castel San Pietro. A great afternoon.

Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour 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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 75 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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour?
+
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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour 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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour?
+
Around 26 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 Verona Highlights & Hidden Gems Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+

What are the best things to do in Verona?

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.
