Highlights
- Arena di Verona - Begin your bike tour by hopping on your bike and heading to Piazza Bra, where you can’t miss the colossal pink-tinged marble Amphitheatre, the Roman Arena. This legendary open-air Opera House hosts world-class music events, attracting aficionados from around the globe, all under the glow of tens of thousands of candles.
- Piazza delle Erbe - Pedal to Porta Borsari, an ancient Roman gate dating back to the 1st century AD, and arrive at Piazza delle Erbe. Once the town’s forum during the Roman Empire, it is now a vibrant open-air market surrounded by historical buildings adorned with frescoes and sculptures.
- Casa di Giulietta - Navigate through the maze of lanes to visit Verona’s temple of love, Casa di Giulietta, located at Via Cappello no. 23. In the small, crowded courtyard, you’ll find a bronze statue of Juliet. Imagine being hidden in the darkness, hearing her speak from the balcony in the moonlight.
- Piazza dei Signori - Get back on your bikes, still surrounded by the romantic atmosphere, and head to the central Medieval Piazza dei Signori e Arche Scaligere. Here, you can admire beautiful buildings and soak in the lively ambiance of the square before cycling towards the Adige River.
- Piazzale Castel San Pietro - From Brà Molinari, enjoy a stunning view of the city’s river and hills. After stopping in front of the Duomo and crossing the ancient Roman arch bridge Ponte Pietra, prepare for a short climb. Leave your bikes and ascend to Castel San Pietro via a panoramic staircase. The effort is well worth it, as you’ll be rewarded with spectacular ruins of the Roman theatre and a breathtaking view of Verona.
- Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore - Cross back over the river on the Scaliger bridge, a fortified bridge built in the 14th century and faithfully rebuilt with original materials after being destroyed by retreating German troops on April 24, 1945. Conclude your Verona bike tour at the magnificent Romanesque Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, home to a beautiful masterpiece by Mantegna.

Bike ride is fun and very rewarding - Really worth it, the guide Daniella speaks Dutch, very handsome, while she is Italian. She explained culture and nature with jokes in between and you can just ask her questions. She also showed her favorite spots in Verona.
In the heat the bike ride was very nice and you see much more than walking and there is much less crowds than in the center. The bike ride takes 3 hours, with a break in consultation. Time flies by. Don't hesitate just go along.

Definitely do - With a group of 10 people we had a private cycling route from Cecilia. She knows a lot about Verona and can talk about it with enthusiasm.
A cycling route also remains a great way to discover the highlights of a city in a relatively short time.

An excellent way to explore Verona. - This is an amazing way to explore the beautiful city of Verona. Our tour guide, Cecilia was amazing. She has an incredible knowledge of her city and it's history. We learned so much and discovered places we wouldn't have encountered on foot or by bus.

Wonderful!! - Wonderful way to see Verona, small group, very engaging guide that took plenty of time to paint a word picture of all the history and stories that Verona is famous for, while taking us to all the historic sites.

Not really a WOW service - The whole experience is „ok“
I‘m rating here the tour and not Verona.
Verona is amazing 5*
The tour is only average. The lady will show you all the important points of interest.
But the tour service, for what you pay for does not give you any WOW’s. No surprising elements or services which go over average. Not even water is offered during the tour.
Again, Verona is beautiful and the tour will not disappoint you - however, the tour service it self will also not WOW you..
