What to expect
You'll board the morning train from Venice and arrive at Porta Nuova Station, where your guide meets you. The 2.5-hour walking tour covers Verona's centrepiece—the 1st-century Roman amphitheatre and the bustling Piazza Delle Erbe—with context on the city's medieval and Renaissance evolution. Your guide knows where locals eat and can point you toward lunch. You'll then have a few hours to wander, shop, or sit in a piazza before catching the return train. Expect cobblestones, moderate walking, and crowds in peak season.
