Great Guide and sights.

Barbara_J, Oct 2023

Excellent guide named Andrea B. Very interesting and well versed on Verona. It was helpful to orient ourselves to this beautiful city

Great way to see the city

Sue_S, Sep 2023

Wonderful tour with Frank. We covered 10km and very leisurely pace. Easy and safe riding on very comfy bikes. Frank gave very informative and funny descriptions. Highly recommend.

Awesome Tour

stephaniehenner, Sep 2023

Do bike tours!

Carol_R, Sep 2023

We used regular bikes instead of e-bikes. The e-bikes were unnecessary. Bernadetta was very knowledgeable and energetic! She was great! Request her if possible. I’m now feeling a bike tour of a town/city is the way to go. You see so much more of the city with less effort since not on foot. Book this tour! Top of my list of tours taken this year. Many breaks, this was not overwhelming at all physically.

Excellent Bike Tour

Liliana_H, Aug 2023

The Verona Highlight Bike Tour was absolutely wonderful. Frank, our guide, was fantastic as he was able to share his geographical and historical knowledge of Verona. May I say he is also a very good photographer as he took some excellent photos of my husband and I while we were on the tour. Thank you Frank for showing us your Verona. Would highly recommend this Bike Tour.

Bike Verona

Lynn_H, Jul 2023

Frank was very friendly and gave us plenty of information. The tour took in the sights of Verona and Frank gave us lots of historical facts in a fun way. We did this tour on our first morning of arriving in Verona and it gave us a good prospective of the city. Frank was very enthusiastic and he loves his city.

Excellent start of your stay in Verona

Nataliya_B, Jun 2023

It was a great choice to start our visit of Verona with this bike tour. Highly recommended. Our guide Frank could share with us his passion about history of Verona.

Perfect way to start a visit to captivating Verona!

Amanda_M, Jun 2023

Frank ( Francesca) is everything I wanted in a guide. He started by asking our hopes and expectations, and then met them and beyond! Brilliant mix of history, archeology, and fun facts. The route he took obviously had safety in mind , but full of WOW moments!

A Must!

Hannah_S, Jun 2023

This was a fantastic way to see the city and our guide, Francesco, was incredibly knowledgeable! His passion for art, history and history in general as well, this is sense of humor is what made the entire adventure magnificent!

10/10 WOULD DO AGAIN

Mikayla_M, Jun 2023

My partner Jake and I travelled to Verona in 2018 and completed this bike tour and enjoyed it so much that we decided to come back to Verona and complete it again! This time we had the wonderful Priscilla, her knowledge and expertise helped guide us all over Verona- including seeing things we didn’t on the last bike tour. When we come back to Verona again, this will be booked again and again!

Terrific sightseeing tour

Deborah_W, Jun 2023

Great bike ride and most informative. Plenty of tourist sites visited. Be better with headset to hear the guide talking when around traffic etc

Great way to see the city

Jacqui_N, May 2023

Our Guide Bernadette, was very personable and knowledgeable and made it a great experience. On the bike is a great way to cover a lot of ground and see a lot of the city .

The best introduction to the full city of Verona you will find

Stephen_M, Apr 2023

I really enjoyed this excursion as a last minute replacement for another tour that got cancelled. You don't even realize how much of the city you are seeing until afterwards when you have to walk this all by foot. It's a bit city, and you get to see a ton this way! Thank you Benedetta for sharing the best highlights of your city! I thought I was going to Verona as an obligatory stop for the single tourist attraction since I was nearby, but I got to see so much more in all the layers of its history with a beautiful ascent recommended for after the tour featuring a beautiful view.

Great bike tour in Verona!

Frances_H, Apr 2023

Benedetta was an excellent guide. We went at a nice pace and learned lots about the history of Verona. The bikes were in very good condition. We enjoyed our coffee stop by the river. It was three hours of enjoyment.

Frank was an excellent tour guide

JorgenS_d, Mar 2023

In 3 hours we saw the entire city with art historician Frank by bike. A lot of knowledge and easy to ride with.

Excellent bike tour.

Stephen_T, Oct 2022

Francesco is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. His enthusiasm for his job and Verona made the trip fun. We enjoyed the many stops along the way and the thrill of riding bicycles in a busy Italian city.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you so much for your review! We are very pleased to hear that you had an excellent bike tour in Verona with our guide Francesco!

Absolute must to understand the long history of Verona

Susan_B, Oct 2022

We loved this tour and were lucky to have Francesco all to ourselves. We learned so much about the architectural styles and periods of history. He was always happy to answer our curious questions.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

dear Susan, Thank you so much for your kind review! It's a pleasure to hear that you loved riding our bikes in Verona with our guide Francesco!

I felt down with my bike....

Dick_N, Jul 2022

I felt down with my bike. The help of the guide was excellente and his colleges from the office, who came for assistance, were very helpfull for translation to the ambulance personel. Luckily I could continue my hollidays in Verona, but the biking tour was over. That was pittiful because the guide was very enthousiastic and his stories were very interesting. Vittorio thanks for the short time we have met.

Fun and informative tour
