What strikes the traveller in Verona is the absolute abundance of expressions of art, history and culture concentrated in a place considered in Italy a medium-size city. In this tour which lasts about 2 hours you will see the abundance of Roman buildings still in use today. A succession of medieval courts and courtyards clustered around the ancient forum. Elegant renaissance palaces, in short an open-air museum...

We were traveling by driver/car from Venice to Milan. We scheduled a 2.5 hr. tour with Mariacristina in Padua. She is a n amazingly knowledgeable guide. Within a short time we had seen some of the important sites, including the Scrovigni Chapel and had a quick walk through the city. I highly recommend her services
thank you !
