What to expect
Your driver collects you from Milan and covers the roughly two-hour drive north. Once in Verona, your official guide meets you for an unhurried two-hour walk through the compact historic core. Expect cobbled lanes, ochre-coloured buildings, and the famous Roman arena. The guide points out sites linked to Shakespeare's play and explains Verona's medieval character—how the city grew along and around the Adige. You'll discover working piazzas where locals gather, not just heritage zones cordoned off for visitors. Afterwards, free time to eat lunch at a spot the guide suggests, then your driver returns you to Milan.
Good to know
Entrance fees to monuments and meal costs aren't included. Wear comfortable walking shoes for the guided section. Infant seats available if requested at booking. The pace suits all fitness levels, though expect 2-3 kilometres of easy urban walking.
