Food & Drink in the romantic Veroa - We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Laura. She was great. This tour had a bit of everything, a historical walk in the beautiful city of Verona and 5 stops in different shops for a variety of tastings: ice cream, pizza, pasta, wine and spritz. The view from the top of the cable car was amazing. Overall, a perfect way to experience Verona.

Good guide - The tour guide, Laura, was excellent. Her history knowledge was our highlight. Few details were offered about this tour, that made our planning difficult. The tour company moved me from am to pm Since am included lunch, I assumed pm. Would too. No, it was just snacks. We had walked on our own. & had a coffee with dessert prior to meeting point. The tour began with gelato, so too much sweet for us. If I had no, I would not have had a dessert on the way to this meet up. Plus, I had emailed to see if that specific tour offered a meal, and I did not get an answer until after I had taken the tour. Lack of details on itenerary & food, made our planning harder. They lacked explanation details , so so it was confusing.

Worth avoiding - Three people were left behind by the guide. She also didn't tell us we'd have to pay the return journey on the fenicula railway. Couldn't hear her half of the time. Nice lady but a poor guide.
