Why visit Verona with a private tour guide?

Two things about Verona, up front. The Arena was built around AD 30, some forty years before the Colosseum, and unlike the Colosseum it never stopped working — since 1913 it has hosted an opera festival where the audience still lights small candles as the sun goes down. And the famous balcony on Juliet’s house? Added in the 1930s, using the lid of an old sarcophagus. The house did belong to the Cappello family, close enough to Shakespeare’s Capulets, and the balcony is a beautiful, deliberate invention. Knowing which is which is what a licensed official tour guide is for.

With us you’re always private: your group and your guide, never strangers. You set the pace, and for Lake Garda or the Dolomites you travel in a luxury vehicle with a chauffeur. There’s a travel coordinator on call at any hour too. The private walking tour of Verona starts at 34€.

Private tours in Verona: what you can do

The Roman Arena of Verona

Start in the river bend. The Roman city is still under your feet

Verona sits in a loop of the Adige, which is why the Roman grid is still legible beneath the medieval streets. Piazza delle Erbe was the forum, and the Scaliger tombs are among the strangest funerary monuments in Italy — you’ll want someone to explain them. The private walking tour is 34€.

Arena · Piazza delle Erbe · Piazza dei Signori · Scaliger tombs

Juliet's house, Verona

Walking past the Arena isn’t the same as going inside it

The scale only lands in the corridors and the upper tiers, and the queue outside can eat a morning. The private walking tour with tickets is 38€ and the entries are included — the Arena and Juliet’s house — so you walk in rather than wait.

Arena interior · Casa di Giulietta · Torre dei Lamberti

Sirmione on Lake Garda

Garda is twenty-five minutes away. Take the afternoon

Sirmione sits on a peninsula so narrow the castle has water on both sides, and you arrive over a drawbridge. Lake Garda and Sirmione from 133€, the full day with Verona included from 259€, or higher and further north, the Dolomites from 229€.

Sirmione · Lake Garda · Dolomites

St Mark's Square, Venice

And yes, you can do Venice in a day from here

Seventy minutes by fast train, which makes a day in the lagoon entirely reasonable — and considerably cheaper than sleeping there. The private tour of Venice from Verona starts at 203€, by train or by car, whichever suits you.

St Mark’s · Rialto · Grand Canal

What’s Verona like for a visitor?

History & monuments

A working Roman amphitheatre older than the Colosseum, a Roman street grid, medieval squares and Scaliger castles. UNESCO-listed, and it earns it.

Walkable centre

Compact, flat and wrapped in a river bend: Arena to Castelvecchio to the Roman theatre takes half an hour without hurrying.

Food & wine

Risotto all’Amarone, bollito misto with pearà, and the Valpolicella hills fifteen minutes out, where Amarone grapes dry on racks for months before pressing.

Base for getting out

Lake Garda in twenty-five minutes, Venice in seventy, Milan and the Dolomites within reach. Very well placed for a city this size.

Beach & climate

No sea, and Po valley summers are humid. Garda is the local substitute and a good one — but it’s a lake, and in August it’s a busy one.

Nightlife & buzz

Aperitivo in Piazza delle Erbe, wine bars and a proper opera crowd from June to September. Elegant rather than late.

Verona is the crossroads of the north, and that’s the main reason to sleep here. Venice is seventy minutes by train, Milan the same in the other direction, and Bologna puts you at the best table in the country.

If you’re chasing scenery instead, Lake Como is the grander lake, Cinque Terre swaps mountains for cliffs and sea, and Turin sits quietly under the Alps with arcades and royal palaces.

Frequently asked questions about private tours in Verona

How much does a private tour in Verona cost?
The walking tour starts at 34€ and the version with Arena and Juliet’s house tickets at 38€. Lake Garda and Sirmione is 133€, the Dolomites 229€, the full day with Verona and Garda 259€, and a day in Venice from Verona 203€.
Is Juliet’s balcony real?
No, and we’d rather tell you now. It was added in the 1930s from an old sarcophagus lid. The house is genuinely medieval and belonged to the Cappello family, which is where the connection comes from — it’s a good story about a good story, and worth seeing for that.
Can we get into the Arena during the opera season?
Performance days change the visiting hours, and from June to September the stage set often occupies the floor. We check the calendar when we plan your day and shift the timings, or swap in Castelvecchio and the Roman theatre if the Arena is closed that morning.
Is Verona worth more than one day?
One full day covers the centre comfortably. A second day is what buys you Garda and Sirmione, or the Valpolicella hills fifteen minutes out, and that’s where most people end up glad they stayed.
Venice from Verona — train or car?
Train, in most cases: seventy minutes each way and you arrive in the city itself. The car makes sense if you want stops on the route or you’re travelling with people for whom the station is awkward. Both are available at the same price.
When’s the best time to come?
April to June and September to October. The opera festival runs through the summer and the city fills for it, which is lovely if that’s why you’re here and crowded if it isn’t. Winter is quiet, cold and misty.
