About this tour
A 9–10 hour guided loop from Abano Terme across two of northern Italy's most storied spots. You'll walk Verona's tight medieval lanes—from the amphitheatre to Juliet's house—then head south to Sirmione on Lake Garda's eastern shore, where narrow streets lead down to the water's edge. A local guide handles logistics; lunch break is your own affair.
Highlights
- Verona's Arena and Piazza delle Erbe on foot
- Juliet's House and Renaissance palaces
- Optional funicular ride to San Pietro hilltop views
- Sirmione's lakeside old town and waterfront
- Roundtrip transport from Abano Terme included
- Walking tour of Lazise village
What to expect
You'll spend the morning navigating Verona's compact centre with your guide, stopping at landmarks rather than sitting through lengthy commentary. Expect cobblestones, narrow passages, and the kind of casual wandering that lets you absorb the city's layered history. Mid-tour, you'll have time to grab lunch (not provided). The afternoon shifts to Sirmione, a fortified settlement that juts into Garda Lake—the walk here is gentler, with a mix of souvenir shops, local bars, and people-watching spots. Views across the lake water the experience; it's unhurried rather than rushed.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for lengthy walking on uneven stone. Lunch isn't included, so budget for a café stop in Verona or Sirmione. The funicular up San Pietro costs extra. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available. The pace suits all fitness levels, but you're covering ground over nine or ten hours.
